By popular demand, I have decided to add an additional Winter Yellowstone workshop on the itinerary for 2024 - with a twist.

This particular workshop focuses 100% of our effort on the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park.

During the winter months, the Northern Range harbors the greatest numbers of animals and the largest species diversity within the entire Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. When the legendary storms of the region begin to lay down litteral feet of snow across the Yellowstone Plateau, the majority of large mammals across the ecosystem descend to lower elevations. Here, the snow is shallower and the limited resources of winter are more accessible.

This mass movement of big animals such as bison, elk, moose, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and mule deer to lower elevations does not go unnoticed by predators. With so many animals predictably concentrated into a smaller region, predators all over the ecosystem also find their highest numbers here as well. From wolves to foxes to mountain lions to otters, the Northern Range presents the best chances to see and photograph some of the most sought after species in the winter months. And yes, we have photographed bobcats in several different areas across the Northern Range on past workshops.

Winter in Yellowstone is the ultimate destination on the North American continent for wildlife photographers. This snow capped Serengeti is unrivaled by any other place in the hemisphere. Bison stand crusted in hoarfrost, wolves trot across the empty expanses of white, bobcats prowl the banks of rivers, elk concentrate in impossible numbers at times, coyotes and red fox leap through the air plunging face first into the snow after deeply hidden rodents, and bald eagles flock to the edge of the rivers in droves to take advantage easy picking along the banks of the geothermal heated waters flowing out of Yellowstone.  This is wildlife photography at its best. 

You simply will not find this sort of experience anywhere else.
