Yellowstone Winter Photo Tour (Wildlife and Landscapes)

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.

John Slonina is a professional nature photograph who has photographed in Yellowstone for over 20 years. He is an authorized permittee of the national park. His experience brings in-depth knowledge of the area and its resident wildlife.

Itinerary:
Each day we maximize the best opportunities at the best time of day.

Logistics: We will cover the best part of the park from the same hotel. We access the best locations by snowcoach and also by private van.
We don't need to waste a day driving from West Yellowstone to Gardiner. We use the best most modern snowcoaches which are also faster and cover more territory in a shorter amount of time.

Group Size:
We have a small group size which is substantially smaller than other tour companies. This will maximize learning and allow us to get closer to wildlife. I want to make sure you get the best shots while we are on location. We also want to give you a lot of space in the snow coach.

We will be traveling in one private vehicle. We use both a van and snowcoach designed for wildlife viewing and photography. We can access more remote areas and respond quicker to wildlife.

Skill and Fitness Level:
Anyone with an interest in nature photography from beginner to professional photographer. The participants should have a love of nature and enjoy the company of other people in a small group setting.

Result:
We will help you create beautiful images and have fun but also teach skills and techniques you can use to take your photography to the next, higher level! When the weekend is over, attendees will have a solid understanding of nature photography and your camera.
