Transportation in the park

When I first heard that you had to ride a bus to get farther than 15 miles into the park, I thought it was a drag. I have to tell you. It is a great way to see the park and wildlife. The driver stops when wildlife is spotted. Here, visitors get a great look at dall sheep which included several rams. The view is much higher than a car so it is easier to see over brush. There are about 10 to 40 eyes all looking for wildlife. Not much is missed. All a visitor has to do is yell "stop!"
Can you imagine how horrible it would be if cars were aloud past the 15 mile marker? Traffic jams would abound when a bear like this is so close to the road. The bus system is designed to keep human contact with wildlife to a minimum so wildlife can go about their business of being wild and free.
