You NEED to Know THIS Before Visiting LAMAR VALLEY in YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

[@stevecooper3510]

Were you there in ‘22 or ‘23 (I’d have to check my notes) when a bison killed another bison on the dirt road up to Slough Creek campground about 100yds from the road? Grizzlies and wolves for a week. Imo, Lamar Valley is worth being the only destination in Yellowstone. With binos, spotting scope, a folding chair, camping gear for Pebble Creek campground (providing easy access to the Valley)…guaranteed to have a good time. From the mt goat cliffs near the NE entrance through the valley to Tower-Roosevelt for bison and black bears and everywhere in between. Good advice to sit and wait! I always encourage visitors to ask camp hosts, store cashiers, rangers and other visitors about location of carcasses and wolf pack rendezvous sites. Also, a decent chance of beavers (likely) and badgers (with effort and luck). We’ve only ever done Spring and Summer. Agree with you about Fall. That’s our next trip. I hear Winter is good too but we have to get hyped enough to get through all the mountain passes between coastal PNW and Lamar. Thanks for posting videos and helping people get the most out of visits to national parks etc.
