“The first photo of my fellow travelers looking through spotting scopes really captured our daily routine on our Yellowstone: Ultimate Wolf & Wildlife Safari.

We saw wolves four out of five days, with a total wolf count of 19 on our trip! On this day, we were watching 11 out of the 13 known wolves of the Pinnacle Peak Pack on January 31, 2017, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

How our awesome Expedition Leaders, Kevin Taylor and Paul Brown, always spotted wolves and other wildlife at such a far distance was truly amazing. and is the reason our wolf and wildlife safari was appropriately described as ‘ultimate!’

I just had to also share the pure joy and happiness on our Expedition Leader Kevin Taylor‘s face, because this is just one moment captured of how much he truly loves doing what he does and sharing what he knows with us!

As a traveler, there’s nothing better than being with an Expedition Leader like this!

This is also true for Paul Brown (and also for Court Whelan, who led my Northern Lights & Arctic Cultures trip in March 2016).

It’s just that I happened to capture Kevin’s expression here!”

    Because it remained relatively isolated from the rest of the world for so many centuries, Bhutan is still a country shrouded in mystery and legend. It officially opened to international tourism only fairly recently, in 1974.

    When I first considered my trip to Greenland, I enthusiastically anticipated the breathtaking scenery of fjords and icebergs bobbing among crystal-clear waters. But what transpired far exceeded my expectations. The multisensory experience was a joyous surprise and contributed to this being an awe-inspiring adventure.
