What people say

Quinn Baron
"Tips: Lamar Valley is known as one of the best places to see wildlife, including bison, pronghorn, bears, deer, elk, and occasionally wolves and moose. Although no wildlife sightings are guaranteed, herds do tend to congregate in this valley often. Since much of the wildlife is most active in the early morning and late afternoon, this is a great place to start the day. Bring your binoculars or spotting scope, and wait patiently for a little while at each pullout. "

"Lamar Valley is the best place to watch for animals, especially wolves and bison! Come at dawn or dusk. This is when the animals are most active! Bring binoculars to get a closer view. It is always important to keep a safe distance from the animals. They are still wild! If you want to see wolves, look for wolf watchers. These wolf enthusiasts will congregate with their lawn chairs and spotting scopes in places with wolf activity. "
"Lamar Valley is often referred to as the "Serengeti of North America" due to its abundant wildlife. Visitors have the chance to see bison, elk, wolves, grizzly bears, and various bird species in their natural habitat."
