We were in Yellowstone about 3 years ago. Came over the top of the hill in the road and down in the valley area was a herd of bison about 200 yards away. There was a nice big shoulder to pull off so we could admire the herd from a safe distance. We had a pretty steep embankment to the right of the car, and thought it looked safe to walk down the road a bit to take some pictures. Wrong! The first clue was the sound of bison grunts, snorts, and the ground shaking as a couple hundred bison came running down the hill and over the embankment. We made a hasty retreat back to the car, but it certainly impressed, you don't want to be in the way of a bison stampede.
