Yellowstone National Park

Details

Experience the magic of spring in Yellowstone, when the landscape comes alive with newborn wildlife and fresh green growth. This five-day, all inclusive journey will focus on capturing iconic species and their young during one of the most beautiful and dynamic times of year.  

Our days begin early to take advantage of the beautiful morning light and the park’s most active wildlife hours. We’ll spend extended time in the field, with breakfast and lunch enjoyed picnic-style so we don’t miss key moments. We’ll return to our lodge in late afternoon for a short rest before heading out for a group dinner at the Wonderland Café.

Spring is an especially exciting time in Yellowstone, with opportunities to observe bison calves, bear, fox, elk, pronghorn, and possibly wolves as the landscape comes back to life and wildlife emerge with their young. Each day is shaped by conditions and wildlife activity, allowing us to be flexible and make the most of every encounter.
