Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park

One of the must visit places in Yellowstone. We went all the way from Mammoth to Beartooth highway via Lamar valley. It's one of the best drives that we have done. The whole scenery here is like the famous Windows XP Bliss wallpaper. This is one of the best areas to watch wildlife in Yellowstone and the other being Hayden valley. We were lucky to witness mass bison crossing when we were here. On our second visit, we spotted few bears as well. You will feel closer to nature when you are here. Take your time and enjoy this area.

One of the best places to see wildlife in Yellowstone is Lamar Valley, and the best time to visit Lamar Valley is at dawn or dusk. Elk, bison, deer, and pronghorn thrive in the grasslands of this area, known as the northern range. In fact, some of the largest wild herds of bison and elk in North America are found here. The northern range is critical winter habitat for these large animals, which in turn provide food for several packs of wolves. Coyotes are also common, and occasional bobcat, cougar, or red fox are reported.

Escape (some) of the crowds and go over to Lamar Valley for some wild hiking. Great encounters with bison, antelope, elk and bear. Be safe but explore. We did the Lamar river trail out for 3 miles then back. Azing views of the rivers and wildlife.

Amazing spot for wildlife viewing. We went in May (activity might be somewhat seasonal) and saw grizzly bears, moose, bison, elk, and deer here. Bring binoculars or a spotting scope along to get a good view of some of the more rare animals. Was a fantastic experience. Wasn't terribly overcrowded, but again this was early in the season.

Amazing beauty. Must visit when you are at yellowstone. It is really the Serengeti of America. Lots of wild animals in the valley. We saw tons of bison, elks, deer, few black bears, and grizzlies and their cubs.
