    Your binoculars are fine. Don’t expect to see anything like a wolf or a bear. People will immediately turn stupid and move (run) towards the animal trying to get a picture, chasing it off.

    At yellow stone last year there was a coyote crossing the road. While I was trying to get a picture some idiot ran, ran 100 yards towards it with a camera with a telephoto lens at least a foot long, causing it to run off, ruining the photo opportunity for the 15 others stopped on the road to see it.

    I disagree with some of the above.

    You'll see plenty of wildlife in the parks. But not in the middle of the day, and not within half a mile of the road. Get up early, go hike unused trails, and get away from people.

    Vortex binoculars would be a fine choice. They're razor line was on sale over the winter, I should have grabbed a pair. So would $100 Bushnell ones, though.
