Photographing Yellowstone National Park during the winter is a memorable and rewarding experience for every photographer. February, with its snow and cold temperatures, transforms America’s first national park into a wondrous land full of unique photographic opportunities for wildlife and landscapes.  During the week, we will explore ONLY the closed interior of the park by snow coach.  Each day, we will depart from our hotel in West Yellowstone, Montana, and travel to the interior, along Hayden Valley, the Madison and Firehole Rivers, and other locations in search of the best wildlife and landscapes the interior has to offer. Traveling this part of the park in these specialized vehicles is quite an adventure.  Our goal is to photograph species such as Wolves, Bison, Coyotes, Fox, Eagles, Deer, and more.  Whenever possible, we will also photograph scenic landscapes.  This workshop is unique!
