We spent 5 days in Yellowstone and Lamar Valley is the best place to see wildlife. In one day we saw herds of Bison with little orange Bison calves running along with their mothers! We saw a coyote, 2 bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelopes, one moose, elk, and marmots. Then we experienced a "bear jam" with cars stopped to see a... More

Wildlife, scenery, and great hiking make the Lamar Valley one of the most truly remarkable places on this Earth, and for most people it is out of the way...need I say more??

We arrived early in Lamar Valley, say 7 am on a September morning. It was 28 degrees but we where treated to seeing three moose in the Soda Creek. A bull, a female and a yearling calf first. During the rest of the day we watched lots of buffalo, big horn sheep, pronghorn, jack rabbit and waited to see wolves... More

Yes, we were married there. After my husband and I met while working in the park for the summer of 2000 at the Old Faithful Inn we went back in 2006 and got married. We go back to the park as often as we can to visit because we love the place so much. Lamar is the Serengeti of Yellowstone.... More

Bison, wolves, and bears oh my! We missed the Lamar Valley on our prior two trips to Yellowstone. It was one of the main reasons for coming back, all the way from Florida. It was well worth the drive!

Saw a pack of 7 wolves. The "wolf watchers" were there with spotting scopes and let our group look at the wolves thru the scopes. It was amazing to see the pack in the wild.

For those who want to see animals trying to survive during bitter Winter months, you have to visit The Lamar Valley at Yellowstone. We drove the valley road twice during January. The road cleaning crews kept the road in great condition. We saw bison, elk, wolves, coyote and (we thick) a glimpse of a Red Fox. Highly recommended.
