VISIT AMERICA'S SERENGETI

Known as America's Serengeti, Lamar Valley is famous for its animals. From the bison herds, which at times can span for more than a mile and number more than a thousand animals, to the wolf packs that can be seen many days of the year, Lamar Valley can keep wildlife viewers occupied most days.

Grizzly, Black Bears, Pronghorn, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Osprey, and Bald Eagles are just some of the wildlife that calls this part of the world home. We offer several tours into Lamar Valley, Slough Creek, and Canyon within Yellowstone National Park from Silver Gate, Montana.

Silver Gate Guides currently offer Half-Day and Full-Day Tours. For more information please follow the link below. 

We meet at Silver Gate General Store unless pickup is arranged at Roosevelt-Tower Junction.

Food and drink are provided on all our tours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Road Conditions

The road between Mammoth Hot Springs and the northeast entrance is the only park road open to regular traffic year-round, weather permitting (closes in winter east of Cooke City, MT). All other park roads are closed to wheeled vehicles (cars, vans, motorcycles, etc.), and open to limited snowmobile and snowcoach travel from mid-December to mid-March. Before coming to the park, be sure to check the following:

  • Park roads: the current road status and seasonal road opening/closing dates.
  • Road improvement projects: active and planned construction projects that may cause delays and closures.
  • Webcams: a live look at traffic approaching the north and west entrances to the park.
