Journey Into Winter Wonderland…

Experience the Magic of Yellowstone in Winter

Join me for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Yellowstone National Park at the peak of winter. Over four incredible days, we’ll travel by private guided snow coach, giving us exclusive access to the park’s interior—places unreachable to most visitors this time of year.

This is a photographer’s dream, with unparalleled opportunities to capture coyotes, foxes, wolves, bald eagles, trumpeter swans, bison, otters, and more against Yellowstone’s breathtaking winter landscape. Our adventure will take us to some of the park’s most iconic locations, including: Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Old Faithful, Hayden Valley, and Firehole Basin.

With a small group and private guide, we’ll enjoy an intimate and immersive experience, perfect for photography and wildlife observation.

New This Year! Before our journey begins, we’ll kick off our adventure with a winter sleigh ride and prime rib dinner(chicken or vegetarian options available) at a local ranch in West Yellowstone the night you arrive.

There’s truly nothing like Yellowstone in winter—quiet, pristine, and teeming with wildlife. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to explore the park in its most magical season!
