Yellowstone Bison Slideshow

Nestled within Yellowstone National Park, the Lamar Valley and Hayden Valley are premier destinations for witnessing the park's iconic bison in their natural habitat. These sprawling valleys, often referred to as Yellowstone's Serengeti, offer breathtaking landscapes of rolling meadows, winding rivers, and distant mountains.
In the Lamar Valley, early mornings or evenings provide the best chance to observe massive bison herds grazing, crossing rivers, or moving together in harmony with the rhythm of the land.
The Hayden Valley, situated closer to Yellowstone Lake, offers equally spectacular views, with bison dotting the lush grasslands and mingling near the Yellowstone River.
Both valleys resonate with the sounds of nature, from the rumble of bison hooves to the occasional bellow during mating season. Visitors can safely watch from roadside pullouts or trails, making these valleys unforgettable spots to connect with Yellowstone’s untamed beauty and its remarkable wildlife.
