Winter transforms Yellowstone into a serene wonderland, offering an unparalleled opportunity to capture its iconic landscapes and wildlife under blankets of snow and frost.
We’ll venture into the park each day and all day, exploring its snow-covered forests, steaming geysers, and vast frozen lakes. Highlights dramatic light and geothermal mist create ethereal scenes, and sunset sessions at Lamar Valley, often called the “Serengeti of North America” for its abundant wildlife.

Midday excursions will take you to geothermal features like Mammoth Hot Springs and Grand Prismatic Spring, where vibrant colors pop against the stark white snow.
