Winter Yellowstone & Grand Teton Photo Expedition

Track wolves, bison, elk, moose and other iconic wildlife amid the snowy splendor of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—the best place on the planet to spot a wolf in the wild.

In 1995, more than a century after the gray wolf was eradicated from the Yellowstone region, it was reintroduced to America's first national park. As wolves began to thrive again in their native habitat, so, too, did controversy. Watch this short film to learn more about the conservation challenges faced by Yellowstone's wolves.

You've likely heard about the effect reintroducing wolves into Yellowstone has had on elk populations and on the ecosystem as a whole. But what about other predator-prey relationships? Brooke Mitchell talks with wildlife biologist Jack Rabe about the impact of cougars on America's first national park. Learn about the biology of these elusive felines—also called mountain lions or pumas—and how they interact with other predators, and discover some of the conservation challenges surrounding them.

From winter wolf tracking to springtime wildflower walks, Yellowstone serves up stunning photo subjects throughout the year. Expedition Leader and pro photographer Rylee Jensen offers an overview of each season in Yellowstone, including top photo opportunities to capture snow-dusted bison, stealthy wolves, harlequin ducks, grizzly bears and geothermal features that spray, steam and bubble. Find out which camera equipment she is never without, get her advice on shooting in challenging weather conditions, and view some of her favorite seasonal shots.

The rich brown of a grizzly bear. The fluorescent green of a peat bog. The reds and golds of fall foliage. Nature knows no bounds when it comes to color, but capturing those hues in photos can be challenging. Expedition leader and pro photographer Charlie Reinertsen shares three approaches to color grading, all geared toward producing a natural, neutral color balance. Charlie will use Lightroom Classic to demonstrate these techniques (using his images of the Northern Peatlands and Yellowstone), but they can be applied in any photo-editing software.
