Winter in Yellowstone, December 26th through January 2nd, explore and capture the awesome landscape and wildlife of winter in Yellowstonet. Go with a local photographer who spends over a hundred days a year photographing and marketing his Yellowstone work to publications such as National Wildlife, Smithsonian, Sierra, Defenders of Wildlife and Sports Afield.

We will meet on the evening of the 26th in Bozeman Montana for dinner and a introduction to Yellowstone in winter. The morning of the 27th we will leave Bozeman at sunrise for our tripod Yellowstone's north range and Lamar Valley. During our drive to the parks north entrance we will stop to photograph the vistas of the Absaroka Mountains and the Yellowstone river in Paradise Valley while watching for deer, coyotes and eagles.

During your time in Yellowstone we will concentrate on capturing the essence of wintering in the world's first National Park. From pre dawn to after the last twilight we will hunt for images of the beauty of this land in the grip of winter. Our quest will include the master of all hunters, the charismatic wild wolf. Our hunting ground will be the wonderland of Yellowstone in winter with steaming thermal areas, frost covered wildlife, pristine snow covered wild lands. This will not be like autumn elk, Florida shore birds or Bosque snow geese but if you have dreamed of photographing wild wolves I feel this is your best chance. My wild wolf images have appeared in prestigious publications such as National Wildlife, Defenders of Wildlife,Smithsonian, Backpacker and many more.

Of course we will also photograph the wintering home of ice rimed Bison, Elk, Moose, Coyotes, Bighorn Sheep, Mule Deer, Pronghorn Antelope,Trumpeter Swans, and Bald Eagles.

We will visit the steaming geysers and thermal areas of Norris geyser Basin and the interior of the Yellowstone. You will photograph Old Faithful, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the winter wilderness of Hayden Valley. .This will all be done from our warm secure modern private snow coach.

The snow coaches I have arranged for normally carry 10 to 12 passengers, we will have a maximum of 6 so that there is plenty of room.

I have been living, photographing, guiding and instructing in the Yellowstone eco-system for over 30 years. Jess spends over a hundred days a year photographing Yellowstone and its wildlife. Thousands of his award winning Yellowstone photographs have appeared in publications such as National Wildlife, Sierra, Defenders of Wildlife and Sports Afield. While most tour leader come to Yellowstone for a few short weeks a year we are attuned to the local conditions and keep up to date on the wildlife activities by daily contact. This is your chance to learn from that vast base of experience .On our last day we will photograph in the early morning in Yellowstone then work our way back to departing flights in Bozeman

As with all wildlife photography there are no guarantees of photographing wolves but we have had many days of photographing wolves during the years I have been doing winter in yellowstone tours.
