Description
Experience the untamed spirit of Yellowstone in its most serene season. On this private winter safari, you’ll travel by SUV through the northern range—one of the park’s only open winter corridors—where steaming geysers meet snow-blanketed plains. Led by professional photographer Brian Creek, this tour blends adventure, artistry, and education in equal measure. You’ll learn how to frame wildlife against Yellowstone’s stark beauty, capturing everything from lone wolves padding through the snow to bison herds dusted in frost. Each moment offers an opportunity to refine your craft, with one-on-one instruction designed around your skill level. Half-day tours (5 hours) focus on prime wildlife areas like Lamar Valley, while full-day safaris (8–10 hours) include a picnic lunch and extended shooting time for both landscapes and wildlife. A maximum of three guests ensures an intimate, personalized experience. As you traverse snow-packed roads and frozen rivers, expect an unforgettable mix of challenge and inspiration—the kind only Yellowstone in winter can deliver.
