Winter Photography Tours
Ages 5+ • 1-3 day options • 6-8 hours per day
What to Expect
Winter is the best time for wildlife photography in Yellowstone because wildlife sticks closer to the road. This is the best time to photograph the wolves of Yellowstone.
It is also the best time to photograph ungulates like moose, bison and elk, as well as foxes, coyotes, otters and the occasional owl. Finding owls might require trekking in the backcountry which can be discussed prior to tour if interested.
Generally, each tour covers the northern range of Yellowstone, from Gardiner to Cooke City and back again. Of course, Yellowstone sometimes has other plans based on wildlife and road conditions.
Each tour is customized based on your interest. I follow each wolf pack in the park and know their territory. This means, for example, we might be able to start the tour viewing a specific wolf pack I have intel on and know it might be the only chance to see wolves that day. I visit the park frequently and stay up-to-date on other wildlife sightings. With photography, patience is often needed to capture the moment
