Legacy of the Lamar is my tribute to the timeless spirit of the American bison in Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley. As the sun sinks lower in the sky, its golden light stretches across the summer meadow, while the herd grazes peacefully in the cool shade of evening. This scene speaks to the quiet beauty of the West and the enduring legacy of these iconic animals—symbols of strength, resilience, and the wild places they call home. Did you know? Bison were once nearly extinct, with fewer than 1,000 remaining in the late 1800s. Thanks to conservation efforts, their numbers have rebounded, and Yellowstone is now home to the longest continuously wild bison herd in the U.S. —a true testament to their enduring legacy.
