Lamar Valley Photos

Lamar Valley presents the best of Yellowstone. Located in the Northeast section of Yellowstone, it is home to nearly all of the creatures of the Park including bison, elk and grizzly bear to name a few. The valley contains a free-flowing river, uncounted springs, ponds, and small streams, a major feature of the central Rocky Mountain chain (the Absaroka Mountains), and rich stands of grasses, forbs, shrubs and trees. The comfortable temperature and still air in evening makes it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the Park. This area along Crystal Creek is a nice mixture of timber and grassland. Elk thistle, geraniums, and other wildflowers grow in a lush covering.
