 
Wolves & Wildlife of Yellowstone
A classic safari tracking wolves, moose, elk, bears, and other wildlife
Trip Overview
- Safari tracking wolves in Yellowstone’s remote Lamar Valley
- Travel by snowcoach to Old Faithful and watch geysers erupt against the snow
- Journey by sleigh across the National Elk Refuge to see the vast winter herds up close
 In the pale light of sunrise, a wolf pack emerges from the forest into the open expanse of Yellowstone National Park’s Lamar Valley. They yelp and cavort, energized by the awakening day, oblivious to our still presence. A large male halts and sniffs the frozen air. As we watch from a distance, we sense the mystical aura of this beast of legend. Elegant predators, wolves are thriving in Yellowstone’s environs where abundant elk, moose and other prey provide sustenance. Winter’s white mantle offers a pristine backdrop against which we view these wild creatures on a rare western safari away from summer crowds.
