YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK – The Yellowstone winter landscape provides a blank page for animals to write their story with prints in the snow. Learn to decipher these stories from an expert tracker in prime wildlife habitat: Yellowstone’s Northern Range. You can gather the basic tools for identifying tracks and understanding the behavior of the animals that left them.

The seminar, taught by Dr. James Halfpenny, begins on January 20, 2006 at 6:00 p.m. and ends on January 22, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. There will be a classroom component as well as short hikes of up to one mile per day through relatively flat terrain on maintained or snow-packed trails.
