The bison herd of Lamar Valley in Yellowstone is regularly on the road particularly around sunset. It's an amazing traffic jam.

Stay in your car of course.

Accessible in winter, readers should note. (Most of Yellowstone can not be accessed by road in the winter).
Right. It’s kept open in winter because it is the only access to Cooke City.

Wyoming 296 (Chief Joseph Highway) gets closed at the west end of Sunlight Basin.

During the winter, I believe there is snowmobile access, either guided or unguided (pass-limited-per-day): https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/snowmobiles-snowcoach...
