Why Winter in Yellowstone?
Yellowstone in winter is unlike anywhere else in the Lower 48. Fewer visitors. Deeper snow. More dramatic light. And wildlife that must move, hunt, and survive—creating extraordinary photographic moments.
You’ll experience:
Snow-covered landscapes shaped by light and weather
Steam-filled geyser basins glowing at sunrise
Bison, elk, foxes, coyotes—and the possibility of wolves
A pace slow enough to wait for moments, not rush past them
Who Is This Workshop For?
Whether you’re just picking up a camera for the first time or you’ve been shooting for years, this trip welcomes photographers of every skill level. We’ll meet you where you are—answering questions in the field and sharing techniques in real-world settings. When we’re not out capturing the moment, we’ll take time back at the hotel to dive into post-processing tips and editing workflows, helping you refine your images no matter your experience.
Pre-Workshop Classes
Pre-workshop classes will be offered to help participants feel confident and prepared before heading into the field. This tour is ideal for beginning to intermediate photographers, and birders are welcome. No prior experience is necessary.
Loaner Gear
Canon DSLR cameras and lenses—including Sigma 100–400mm and Sigma 60–600mm—will be available, with mirrorless adapters if needed.
Transportation Designed for Photographers
This tour is intentionally structured to give you maximum access and flexibility.
Day 1 – Arrive in Bozeman
Please plan to arrive in Bozeman (BZN) by 12:00 PM (noon). We are only able to make one group transfer from the airport to Gardiner, where the tour officially begins. Earlier arrivals are encouraged—around 11:00 AM is ideal.
Winter travel can be unpredictable, and delays do happen. For peace of mind, we strongly recommend arriving the day before your tour begins. Jeff and I will be in the area two days prior to the tour and are happy to recommend a nearby hotel if you’d like to come in early.
If you miss the group transfer, private shuttle services are available from Bozeman to Gardiner at an additional cost.
