There have been several very warm days, and the snow is melting fast. The first grizzly tracks were spotted on February 28.
Story in the Jackson Hole News and Guide. By Cory Hatch.
Update: I have been told by a local observer that the bears are out in the Madison Valley (near West Yellowstone) and in the nearby Henry’s Lake Mountains.
