A packed day of photography beginning at first light, seeking the best of the rugged landscape and wildlife of Yellowstone’s famous lower loop.

Departs 1 hour before sunrise (exact times vary seasonally).

Also included: Pick-up & drop-off in the greater Jackson Hole area, refreshments, image critique & editing lesson.

Preparing for your workshop:

All tours depart roughly 1 hour before sunrise, so make sure to rest up before your trip.

Test your equipment, charge batteries, and clear memory cards the day before departure. Wildlife in Yellowstone tends to be less accustomed to people and is thus on average farther than in the Tetons. If you don’t own a lens with a focal length of at least 400mm and want to photograph wildlife, consider renting equipment with us for your tour.

Weather in Yellowstone National Park changes quickly, so layers are important. Temperatures before sunrise may be below freezing and rise to 80 F by mid-day. Snow, sun, and rain can all occur in a single day, especially in spring and fall.

We will provide snack bars, tea, and instant coffee for your enjoyment during the day. A stop will be made for a complimentary lunch at one of the concessions inside the park. Don’t forget a water bottle!
