Autumn in Yellowstone National Park provides every photographer ample opportunity to capture images showcasing the breathtaking scenery, inspiring nature, and dramatic wildlife. Photographers will be inspired by the autumn colors, the drama of the seasonal rut, a variety of wildlife, and a diverse palette of nature scenes. Each day, based on weather, light, and activity, we will explore the park for wildlife such as Elk, Bears, Bison, and Great Grey Owls.
