About the Journey

Amidst crisp air, bare trees, frosted earth, and brilliant thermal features of Yellowstone National Park, the wildlife viewing in winter is better than any other time of year. The elements of nature are in full sway, and its wild inhabitants—including close-knit packs of wolves—are hunting, mating, and surviving. Participants on this journey will travel in custom safari vehicles across magical landscapes that are the setting for steaming geysers, trees covered in ice crystals, and the movements of bison, elk, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and yes, the illustrious gray wolves.
