Drive the Northeast Entrance Road between Tower Junction and Slough Creek before sunrise and use the pullouts, not the road shoulder. Bring binoculars or a long lens: the wolves are usually far. The people with tripods and radios have been doing this for years and are generally happy to point. Bison jams are normal, and the animals always have the right of way.
