slide 1: Yellowstone National Park Hiking
Where to find wildlife in Yellowstone
Yellowstone National Park’s wildlife can mostly be found in two main areas Lamar Valley and
Hayden Valley. Lamar Valley has been called by many "America’s Sergenti" for the diversity of
species you can see on any given wildlife drive or hike in the area. Its astounding how much
wildlife you can find.
Some examples of wildlife youll find in Yellowstone National Park include bison wolves
moose elk pronghorn sheep bighorn sheep and the elusive black and grizzly bears. While most
of these animals can be found in Lamar Valley when the timing is right if you dont have much
luck there you can head a bit farther south in the park to Hayden Valley. Here you will can be
treated to huge herds of bison and rolling hills making for some delightful photo opportunities.
Sometimes you don’t even have to go farther than a few feet from your room to see an elk
munching on the grass around the Mammoth Springs area.
