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, Yellowstone from Silver Gate, Montana.

Cooper Young

Certified Interpretive Guide
Cooper first fell in love with Yellowstone National Park in the summer of 2014. In the years that followed, he earned Bachelor's degrees in Biology and Environmental Geoscience from Texas A&M University to match his passion for wildlife and the environment. Over the last seven years, he visited every National Park in the Western US, but Yellowstone continued to draw him back time and time again. After spending countless hours hiking, backpacking, and observing wildlife in Yellowstone's Northern Range, his heart was set on guiding others in this place he loves most. Joining Silver Gate Guides as a Certified Interpretive Guide in 2022, Cooper hopes to enable guests to be inspired and awed by the wildlife and beauty of Yellowstone.
