Yellowstone Winter Wolf Tours
Unlike summer, where the wildlife of Yellowstone is spread all across the park, Yellowstone winters bring all of the non-hibernating animals into the low valleys. For the wolf packs of Yellowstone, this means a prime opportunity to feed and survive. For photographers, Yellowstone winter wolf tours mean the best opportunity to capture wolves as they explore, play, hunt, and defend with their pack.
We start our day before sunup to position everyone for the best opportunity to capture the first rays of sunlight gracing the park; a pristine experience that makes the early morning absolutely worth the trip. We are then on the hunt for the wolf packs, which our experienced guides follow constantly, to bring you into the optimal distance to capture the wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. Telescoping lenses are highly recommended for photography to capture the best photos, while spotting scopes and binoculars are provided for anyone looking to simply observe.

Wolf Tour Sample Itinerary
The day starts with an early pick up from your place of lodging. Take advantage of the late sunrise and drive towards the Lamar Valley under the cover of darkness. See the early morning sun and alpen glow, while discovering the animal activity of the previous night. After searching for wildlife, discover the Mammoth Terraces, the largest active travertine terraces on earth. The clear and crisp air of winter provides great photo opportunities. Winter tours and wildlife watching are based near the north entrance to Yellowstone. The town of Gardiner, Montana and Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming are the typical starting points for winter tours.
