Witness massive American bison roaming freely in their natural habitat, along with elk, wolves, and grizzly bears in the world's first national park. Lamar Valley offers the best wildlife viewing, especially at dawn and dusk. Keep a safe distance from all animals - bison can run 35 mph and are responsible for more injuries than bears.

β€œWhile returning to Bozeman, I saw bison for the first time β€” only one at first, the sight of which caused me to slow to a crawl and glance around my empty car, wide-eyed and grinning, wishing for someone to share in my excitement. Around the bend I stopped entirely and got out to marvel at an entire herd plodding across the roadside meadow. In the next few miles I would see hundreds more, some a quarter-mile away, some β€” like the one who stood next to me on the road β€” only two or three feet distant.”

β€œWhen I visited Yellowstone in 2016, seeing the American baby bison at play was one of my favorite sightings; I was certainly looking forward to seeing them again in May 2022. They did not disappoint; the first group of bison (Bison bison) that stopped us on the road on Day 1 included a good number of babies. [...] Sitting in your stopped car does give you a good look at the molting adults and cute youngsters as they pass by your window, sometimes within a couple of feet.”
