MONTANA/WYOMING YELLOWSTONE IN WINTER February 2 - 7, 2010 $3,595      Deposit $1,200 Airport:   Bozeman, Montana

Winter in Yellowstone National Park is something every nature photographer should experience.  Between the wildlife and the frosted scenery there is a non-stop show going on all around.  We'll be picked up at the airport in Bozeman, Montana, and for six days and five nights we'll have a chance to enjoy that show.  The first two days will be spent  photographing the Mammoth Hot Springs area and the famed Lamar Valley.  This is probably the most wildlife-rich region in the park, and we should have many opportunities for bison, elk, coyotes, bighorn sheep and pronghorn antelope.  The Lamar Valley is also the best place in the world to look for wolves in the wild.

The next two days will be be spent exploring the Central Plateau by snowcoach.  The waterfalls, cascades and incredible thermal features create an otherworldly landscape.  Here the cold temps and clouds of steam combine to create a crystal fog.   We'll spend the night at the Snow Lodge in Old Faithful Village, putting us right in the middle of the most frosted scenery and wildlife. Our final night we'll relax at the Chico Hot Springs Lodge which boasts one of the finest restaurants in all of Montana.
