Join us for an unforgettable photography adventure to Yellowstone in the Winter! Experience the beauty of America's first National Park blanketed in snow - in a way most people will never see it.
Ride in a cozy snowcoach, allowing you to capture stunning landscapes and wildlife in their winter habitats for two full days. Then, feel the thrill of adventure as we hop on snowmobiles for one day.
This unique combination of transportation will provide you with incredible photo opportunities, as you shoot and learn alongside your guide, Paul Nguyen.
Arrive in Bozeman, MT. Ride in an organized group transfer to West Yellowstone, where we will based for the entirety of our stay. We will have a welcome prime rib dinner waiting for you at our lodging - The Three Bear Lodge.
The only way to enter the park during this time of year is in a specially-outfitted snowcoach or snowmobile. We will get to do both! Hop in our private ride for a full day in the park.
Given we have a private coach, we will get to be very flexible. We'll make sure to visit the world’s most concentrated geothermal area including Ol' Faithful. We'll make stops at Madison Junction, Fountain Paint Pot, Black Sand Basin and more, with, of course, lots of wildlife stops.
Today we will visit the "Snowmobile Capital of the World," riding on snowmobiles on the Continental Divide. Included on this day is all of your winter gear needed to spend the day in the outdoors. This is surely a unique (and fun!) way to photograph the area.
We have "Doubles" - so we can take turns driving and being along for the ride. We will be able to strap our gear down during the ride for comfort.
Another full day in the park in our private snowcoach. On this day, we will ride out Visit Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon with a chance to see the Lower and Upper Falls, along with Gibbon Falls, Beryl Spring and more. We will see abundant wildlife along the Madison River.
After a long day, and at the end of our tour, take some time to relax at the lodge in the hot tub!
After breakfast, we will take a group transfer back to Bozeman to catch our departing flights. We will be in touch some time after the tour to organize a zoom session where we can critique and share our images from this trip.
Breakfasts included. The property features amenities like a full service restaurant and a hot tub, and fitness center.
You will be suited up with a helmet, boots, gloves, suit, and face mask.
