    Hayden Valley

    The vast Hayden Valley stretches along the Yellowstone River like a grand amphitheater of wilderness. This ancient lakebed, with its rolling sage-covered hills and meandering river, serves as a crucial summer grazing ground for large herds of bison and elk. Grizzly bears and wolves frequently patrol these grasslands, while white American pelicans, trumpeter swans, and sandhill cranes wade along the river’s edge. Summer sunsets create an ethereal atmosphere, making this valley one of Yellowstone’s most photographed landscapes.
