here's a good resource for you: http://www.maxwaugh.com/yellowstone/map.phpthere are all the species in that loop/area you discuss. The reason I say the madison out of west yellowstone is because you mention elk as your goal. this area has lots of elk and you will be able to find them and get quite close. You will see elk from the north but you man not be able to get very close to them. . .

Hey Dee Dee,
Congratulations on the upcoming trip. I will also be in Yellowstone (actually, Jackson at that point) on September 26th (I am flying in on the 25th). There are many places to photograph. Tony's map is exhaustive and very helpful. You may also want to come down to the Teton's. For example, Mormon Row, one of the perennial favorites, is the place they filmed the movie, "Shane." Schwabacher's landing is also a beautiful, classic place to view the Tetons, and occasionally there are moose there. The area around Mt. Moran also has tons of places to view wildlife (mostly elk, moose, coyote and some boids)that has remarkable vistas.
Cheers James

Hey Guys,
Got here on Thursday evening, unfortunately, I missed sunset. Yesterday was great though. After a rather pedestrian sunrise at Oxbow bend, we had the opportunity to see a rather large bull moose crossing the stream. I got some nice shots that I will share when I get back to the City.
I also saw a great horned owl for the first time ever. It was getting dark, and the images are noisy (taken mostly at 1600), but I believe usable - and did I mention that it was a first for me?????? LOL. What a cool experience seeing him jump off that tree and loop around.
This morning I was at Schwabacher's....I got there only 20 minutes before sunrise and the 'prime spots' were all taken. LOL, it was another not so amazing sun rise though, so I was not too disappointed. I will go there again later this week.
James
