Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. It's also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope.

Lamar Valley

Located in the northeastern corner of the park, the Lamar Valley, along the Lamar River, in is often called America’s Serengeti for its large and easy-to-see populations of large animals. Among its most famous inhabitants are the Junction Butte Wolf Pack Members; wolf enthusiasts gather with spotting scopes most days hoping to see these impressive canines in action. In addition to wolves, other animals roaming the Lamar include large herds of bison, pronghorn, badgers, grizzly bears, bald eagles, osprey, deer, and coyotes.

    A great taste of Yellowstone in a short period of time. Our guide Isaac was beyond amazing. Full of energy and knowledge we even saw a grizzly bear.

    My husband and I had an awesome time on our evening wildlife encounter with Alex as our guide! She was incredibly kind and flexible—when I lost my purse and had a bit of a meltdown (oops), she adjusted the schedule and stayed late to make sure we didn’t miss out. Alex is a great conversationalist and incredibly knowledgeable about Yellowstone’s wildlife. We spotted a bear, a golden eagle, and tons of bison and elk. We didn’t catch the wolves this time, but not for lack of effort—Alex gave it her all. Highly recommend this experience, and huge thanks to Alex for making it memorable!

  • Great guide, beautiful animals

    We had a great time with our guide Isaac. He was very knowledgeable about not just the animals in Yellowstone but all things Montana. We saw your typical bison and elk during our tour and were also able to see a badger, black bear, and a grizzly bear and her cubs. My family enjoyed talking with him about our dogs, especially my youngest son and exchanging funny dog stories. Thank you Isaac for this memorable experience!
