This is why I love early mornings in Lamar Valley.

You never quite know who might be on their way to breakfast.

There’s something pretty incredible about watching Yellowstone wake up as the first light comes over the valley—and then realizing you’re sharing that sunrise with a grizzly bear. I’ve spent countless early mornings in Lamar, and I can promise you, this never gets old.

And there’s some good news behind sightings like this. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem’s grizzly population is one of our great wildlife recovery stories. The latest published estimate puts the 2024 population at approximately **1,050 grizzlies**, compared with only a few hundred several decades ago.

Of course, seeing these animals comes with a responsibility to give them the space they deserve.

**A quick Yellowstone wildlife reminder:** Stay at least **100 yards from bears, wolves and cougars** and **25 yards from all other wildlife**. If an animal moves toward you, it’s our job to move away and maintain that distance. Long lenses are made for a reason!

And if you’re hiking in Yellowstone—or really anywhere in bear country in Montana—**carry bear spray, know how to use it, and keep it somewhere immediately accessible, not buried in your backpack.**

Today I’m trading Yellowstone grizzlies for Alaska brown bears! I’m headed to Alaska for my brown bear photography workshop and can’t wait to meet my new clients and see what the next seven days have in store for us. So while these guys definitely aren’t in Alaska, bears were clearly on my mind this morning.

**Want to photograph Yellowstone or Grand Teton this fall?** I still have availability for select private photography tours. Come spend a day chasing great light, incredible landscapes, and, hopefully, a little Yellowstone wildlife magic with me. Check the link in my bio for details or send me a DM.

And stay tuned—Alaska starts now. I’ll be sharing images and adventures from brown bear country over the next week!

Have a fantastic weekend!!

Soaking up every last bit of a Montana summer. ☀️

Today looked a lot like this—fishing the Yellowstone River, blue skies, beautiful scenery and one of those days that reminds me why I love calling this place home.

If Montana has been sitting on your bucket list, consider this your sign to come on out and experience it for yourself. Fishing, wildlife, rodeos, wide-open spaces, incredible sunsets and some of the most beautiful scenery you’ll ever see.

There’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy—and fall in Montana is right around the corner, which might just be even better.

Hope y’all are having a fantastic weekend and soaking up a little summer wherever you are!

Come on out and visit. Montana is waiting. ❤️

Summer so far… and I’m pretty sure we’re doing it right.

Lots of family and friends coming to visit, rodeos and charity auctions, fishing and floating the Yellowstone, horseback riding, incredible days in the park, more wildlife than I could ever fit into one video, long walks, great food and a whole lot of laughing. P.s. that’s my 87 year old Mom on the cover image flew out to visit and went riding down the Yellowstone river
😍! Something to strive for 💯.

Montana summers are short, so we’re soaking up every single minute of this one — and thankfully, there’s still plenty of summer left.

If a visit to Montana and/or Yellowstone is on your bucket list why are you waiting for 🤷‍♀️!

I hope your summer has been filled with amazing adventures!

Some days it’s the little things that make life good.

This guy sees me walking up the hill every day and comes running like we’ve been best friends forever — mostly because he knows I usually have carrots, but I’m choosing to believe it’s personal.

He runs the fence line with me while I walk and honestly… it makes my day every single time.

While this type of thing is rare in the park, I felt compelled to repost this for those folks who always ask whether they should invest $50 in a can of bear spray when they visit the park. My advice is never go hiking in the park without it, it’s the best chance you will have if an incident occurs. Also, since I don’t know the full details of this attack I am not suggesting these hikers did not have bear spray just posting this as an answer to the question I get the most by visitors to the park. I’m so glad the report is they both survived ❤️.
