Yellowstone National Park Photo Tours and Workshops Winter

Join us on a photo tour or workshop to photograph winter in Yellowstone. Photograph one of the world’s greatest snow-covered ecosystems. Winter is a magical season in Yellowstone, when visitors are few and wildlife viewing is outstanding. In the chilled air, see bubbling mud pots and gushing geysers eerily veiled in steam.

World famous Yellowstone is one of the most exciting places in the world to photograph landscapes and wildlife. This is a must see on any nature photographer's and wildlife lover's list. Join us as we explore this winter wonderland and the surrounding areas. Discover the phenomenal photography opportunities of Yellowstone’s quiet season. Explore the park by snowcoach deep into the wilds of Yellowstone.

We will photograph the dramatic waterfalls, geyser eruptions, thermal pools and steaming fumaroles. The icy Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the snow covered thermal basins are a site you will never forget.

Yellowstone is one of the premiere wildlife viewing areas in the US. Wildlife is everywhere and people are few and far between. Wildlife stands out against the wintry background. Heavy snow in the higher mountain force wildlife to come to the low valleys, rivers, and geyser basins. We will photograph herds of bison walking through the snow. Numerous big game species are in this area. We will look for buffalo, elk, coyotes, moose, wolves, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and bald eagles. We will visit a section of the park along a river where Bobcats are commonly photographed. The mammals will have their prime winter fur. Bird sightings can be very exciting, as we will look for trumpeter swans, bald eagles, and great grey owls or whatever else we discover. We will visit Lamar valley the premiere wolf wildlife location.
