This tour is not sightseeing.
The result is winter photography at its most raw and rewarding.

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
Transportation Designed for Photographers
This tour is intentionally structured to give you maximum access and flexibility.
Day 1 - Arrive in Bozeman, where I’ll pick you up.
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.
Days 2 & 3—Private Snowcoach
We travel deep into Yellowstone’s winter interior aboard a private snowcoach, reaching areas completely inaccessible by regular vehicles.
✔ Warm, comfortable travel
✔ Frequent stops at photographer-selected locations
✔ Steam, snow, geysers, and winter wildlife
Remaining Days—Private All-Wheel-Drive Van
For wildlife-focused days, we switch to a private AWD photography van, giving us the freedom to respond instantly to wildlife and light.
✔ Quick stops
✔ Easy repositioning
✔ Longer time with active animals
🗓️ The Adventure—Sample Itinerary
Weather can change, but we do our very best to stick to it.
(Same structure for both February tours)
Day 1—Arrival & Orientation
Arrive in Bozeman, Montana (BZN) by midday. We’ll travel together to our lodging near Yellowstone’s northern entrance.
That evening, we’ll enjoy a welcome dinner and orientation, covering:
Winter photography strategies
Wildlife etiquette and safety
Gear tips for cold conditions
You’ll head to bed knowing tomorrow begins the real adventure.
Day 2—Deep Winter Yellowstone (Private Snowcoach)
Today we go where few winter visitors ever reach.
A private snowcoach takes us into Yellowstone’s frozen interior—a world of geysers steaming through snowfields and forests locked in ice. We stop often, waiting for light, atmosphere, and moments worth capturing.
Expect surreal landscapes, dramatic steam, and wildlife encounters along remote corridors.
Day 3—Steam, Snow & Silence (Private Snowcoach)
Another full day in the snowcoach, refining compositions and slowing down even more.
This is where patience pays off:
Soft winter light filtering through steam
Frost-covered trees glowing at sunrise
Quiet moments most photographers never experience
This is Yellowstone at its most haunting and beautiful.
Days 4–6 — Wildlife on the Move (Private AWD Van)
Now the focus shifts to Yellowstone’s legendary wildlife.
Traveling by private AWD van, we work wildlife corridors and valleys, responding to conditions as they unfold. Early mornings, long lenses, and quiet anticipation define these days.
Photographic opportunities may include:
Bison plowing through deep snow
Elk moving through frozen valleys
Coyotes and foxes hunting
Birds of prey riding winter winds
These are immersive days—when you forget the cold and stay focused on the moment.
Day 7—One Last Frame
We’ll head out for one final sunrise session before breakfast. Afterward, we depart for Bozeman Airport (BZN) for a flight departure scheduled for after 11:30 AM.
You’ll leave with memory cards full of memories, new skills, and the feeling that you truly experienced Yellowstone in winter.
