We didn't see too much there that we didn't see in other areas of park. Wanted to see moose but no such luck. The ranger said Tetons is where most moose are but we didn't see any there either. There is wildlife to see, Bison, fox with pups, wolf, bear with cubs, elk and prong horns. We had spotting scope... More

This was the area in Yellowstone that gave us the best luck for watching wildlife in Yellowstone by far! We saw three mountain goats (one baby), five bighorn sheep, a cow moose, a grizzly and three cubs, a black bear and countless bison, elk and antelope. If you see people with spotting scopes out...stop and ask them what they are... More

We have visited Yellowstone twice and without doubt the Lamar Valley is the best area to explore if you are looking for wildlife. The geography of the valley is different to the rest of the park in that it has wide plains which make it easier to spot animals. We found black bears and coyotes very close to the road... More

A great place to see the wildlife. Go early in the morning or before dark. Be prepared to sit and watch for the animals.

We saw herds of bison, it became commonplace. The valley is teeming with wildlife. We came back the following morning and again was surprised with what we saw - bears, foxes, moose, bighorn sheep, elks. We had our fill.

We drove to Lamar Valley the second day we were in Yellowstone. We saw lots of buffalo and pronghorn. It was amazing to see all the buffalo herds.

I took the advice given here and went at 5.30am. Wow! Saw 3 wolves, two of which were within a few yards if us. Saw 3 bears from a distance. A pronghorn chasing a coyote plus many more. This is a must do. Make the effort and get up early and go....

If you do not mind waking up before dawn and staying until sunset then this is the place to see wildlife. We stayed 3 days in the park, and manage to see grizzly bear, black bear, wolves, bison, moose... Fantastic experience
