The Wild in Yellowstone: Grizzly Bears in April
April in Yellowstone marks the true beginning of spring. Following the first confirmed grizzly sighting on March 9th in Yellowstone and the first sow with cubs observed on March 29th in Grand Teton, bear activity increases across the region. Sows with cubs become more visible, movement expands, and feeding opportunities improve as snow recedes. This is one of the most powerful months to observe grizzly behavior in its most natural state. In this post, we explore where to find bears in April, what behaviors to watch for, and how to photograph them responsibly in Yellowstone’s evolving spring landscape.
