This valley is very pretty but also very open. We came here twice during our most recent trip and were able to see pronghorn (they blend in VERY well though so bring binoculars and a good eye) and buffalo. There were many people out with...More

While we didn't see much wildlife, the scenery is stunning! Amazing landscapes, streams and I've capped mountains!

We learned from the rangers that Lamar Valley is the best place to go and view the wildlife in the park. We saw elk, bison (there is a bison preserve in the area, mountain goats and black bear.
