I went through that exactly one year ago. What a trip that was!

Reminds me of the 10K charity races we see here several times a year.  Old and young having fun together!

Nice!  We don’t often get to see buffalo in a herd, running along like that.
 

Almost sad to see though, when you realize (as we have been told) that in the 1800s a herd of buffalo might have numbered 100,000 or more.

Custer State Park, early 1990's: Took a dirt road in the park and wound up in the middle of a buffalo herd that was grazing. Drove very slowly through them and they were just a few inches from the truck! Have some great pictures somewhere. :D

Wood Buffalo Park outside Edmonton around 1955 or '56, my Mother & Dad & I were on a camping trip and took a drive through the Bison enclosure.

The driver of the car in front of us got a little impatient and blew his horn to move the adults blocking him, then tried to push through them.

Didn't work.

A large bull took exception to being pushed and displayed his annoyance by bashing the front and side of the car.

All those critters and not a buffalo chip anywhere in sight.

 

Amazing!

 

Heck, I don't know what any of their names were. Might have been one named Chip.

This is one from Yellowstone. It was in 1990. I was taking a picture of a geyser erupting while my daughter was sitting on a bench behind me. When I turned around, I told her not to move. The buffalo was grazing and had moved up towards her while I was taking pictures. It kept grazing and moving on away from us.
