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.

Bison on the Specimen Ridge trail. Even on top of the ridge you'll encounter bison on the trail.
Pronghorns were not a rare sight on the trail.
Lamar Valley from the Specimen Ridge 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.
