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.

Some gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park become unusually comfortable around people, creating risks for both wolves and the park visitors who love them. Relying on two decades of wildlife data, Taylor L. Rabe, a graduate student at Colorado State University, in collaboration with the Yellowstone Wolf Project, examines factors that contribute to wolf habituation, including age, proximity to roads and coat color, and discusses non-lethal deterrents designed to reverse it. With seven years of wolf conservation experience, Rabe discusses how long-term research can inform management decisions that help keep wild wolves wary of humans.

A great wildlife photograph doesn't always require filling the frame with an animal. Photo Expedition Leader Rylee Jensen shows how zooming out can reveal a richer story, capturing wildlife within the landscapes and ecosystems that shape its life. Through images of Alaska's brown bears, Yellowstone wolves, Pantanal jaguars, Bengal tigers, Galapagos wildlife and more, learn how understanding an animal's behavior and ecology can strengthen your compositions—and how trees, terrain, weather and other often overlooked elements can turn a wildlife encounter into a compelling environmental portrait.

Winter transforms Yellowstone into one of North America's most rewarding destinations for wildlife photography. Photo Expedition Leader Arthur Kampmann shares why the season offers such exceptional opportunities to photograph wolves, bison, elk, foxes, coyotes and eagles against snowy landscapes.
