Backcountry permits in the Lamar Valley area. Thinking of spending a night out (solo) in the Lamar Valley area in late June or early July next year. Is there a trail or backcountry campground that favors wildlife viewing? Planning on having my family drop me off and pick me up the next morning. Is there a good trail that you would recommend (under 18 miles / 1,000 ft elevation change)?
Thanks, Just looking for suggestions. I am fairly experienced minimalistic camper, just never in Yellowstone.

Here's a couple of resources to help pick a backcountry campsite: https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/upload/bctrip-planner_2018.pdfhttp://www.trailguidesyellowstone.com/yellowstone_backcountry_campsites/yellowstone_backcountry_campsites.php
