Yellowstone Hiking Guides safely leads hiking groups into the Lamar Valley on a wildlife viewing day hike tour. Our guides are well versed in Yellowstone's unique wildlife. Safety and fun are our top priorities. Regularly, we spot wolves, bears, and other rare wildlife from the trail in the backcountry of Yellowstone. Our tours are off the beaten path, traveling on bison trails for the majority of the hike. Most tour providers in Yellowstone spend the majority of the day on the road, or very close to the road. Our guides take you into the backcountry for unique views of the Lamar Valley that you cannot see from the roadway. Frequently, our guests tell us that they could not do this hike on their own through the massive bison herd and unpredictable wildlife.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this hiking tour?

A: The tour is generally suitable for ages 8 and up, but it really depends on the child's hiking ability. Some families have taken younger kids, but keep in mind that the trails can be tough and unpredictable. Just check with Yellowstone Hiking Guides if you're unsure about your specific situation.

Q: What should we wear for the Lamar Valley hike?

A: Dress in layers! Mornings can be chilly in Yellowstone, especially in the Lamar Valley. I recommend moisture-wicking base layers, a warm fleece, and a waterproof jacket. Good hiking boots are a must, and don't forget a hat and sunscreen!

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can reschedule but it’s best to give at least 24 hours notice. Just contact Yellowstone Hiking Guides directly. They’re usually pretty accommodating, but it can get busy during peak season, so the sooner you reach out, the better!

Just Did the Lamar Valley Hiking Tour—Amazing Experience!

I just got back from the Lamar Valley Safari Hiking Tour with my family and wow, what an experience! We saw a bear and even a pack of wolves from a distance. The guides were super knowledgeable and made sure we were safe while still having a blast. The lunch they provided was tasty too—great sandwiches! Highly recommend this for anyone who loves nature and wants a real adventure. Just be prepared for some rough hiking paths, but totally worth it!

Thinking About Gifting the Lamar Valley Safari Tour

I’m considering gifting this hiking tour to my boyfriend for his birthday. He’s an outdoor guy and loves wildlife. Is this tour good for someone who’s not super experienced with hiking? Also, how’s the food? Any thoughts would help!
