You'll see lots of animals on this trail in the summer. Here, a female pronghorn and her fawn watch us as we hike through the area.

Bears frequent the ridge. Pronghorn carcasses can be seen off the trail. Remember to pack spray.
Lamar Valley from the Specimen Ridge Trail
Pronghorns were not a rare sight on the trail.
Sometimes you have to share the trail with the animals, as you can see as these bison use the trail to come down the hill. Give them a wide berth, or wait for them to clear before continuing.
As with most trails, if you hike a couple of miles away from the parking lot, you get stunning views without all the people.
