ABOUT YOUR TRIP
Our Tours ~ We begin our journey as we head into the park from Silver Gate, MT (unless we arrange to meet at Tower Junction) less than one mile from the Northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Almost immediately all focus will be on setting our sights for wildlife spotting. Not only is this area famous for wolf packs but a mecca for all sorts of animals i.e bears, foxes, moose, mountain goats, etc.
During the tour, we will be serving local coffee and other hot beverages while providing breakfast and/or lunch depending on the tour that you choose.
The full-day tour includes a short hike that will be customized for you based on your ability and needs.
When you are dealing with nature and wild animals we suggest that all expectations be left at the gate and replaced with curiosity. We travel into the park with an open mind as every day is unique. Our guides will lead you in finding the wildlife as well as sharing relevant geology facts, and the history of the area.

Explore Silver Gate
Nestled at the northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park, Silver Gate is a quiet mountain village surrounded by pristine wilderness, alpine meadows, and endless wildlife encounters. Our trip to Silver Gate was all about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and experiencing Yellowstone away from the crowds.
From early morning wildlife sightings to peaceful evenings under star-filled skies, Silver Gate offers a truly authentic Yellowstone experience. Whether hiking scenic trails, spotting bison and wolves, or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air, every moment felt untouched and unforgettable.
Wildlife of Lamar Valley
Often called "The American Serengeti," Lamar Valley is arguably the premier wildlife viewing location in North America. From massive bison herds to elusive wolf packs, this sweeping valley offers an unscripted view into the wild.
Gray Wolves
Since their reintroduction in 1995, Lamar has become the best place in the world to observe wild wolves. The Junction Butte pack is frequently spotted here.
- Best Season: Winter & Spring
- Best Time : Dawn (First light)
American Bison
Thousands of bison roam the valley floor. In August, the "rut" (mating season) fills the air with the primal bellows of bulls competing for dominance.
- Best Season : Year-round
- Safety : Stay 25+ yards away
Grizzly & Black Bears
Bears are often seen foraging on the valley slopes. Spring is ideal for spotting mothers with cubs emerging from hibernation to find food.
- Best Season: Spring & Early Summer
