Wild
Yellowstone 2017
Thursday 15th June – Sunday 2nd July 2017
Sorry this tour is now fully booked
Yellowstone
is perhaps the most popular destination visited by Photoventures
as it offers such a wonderful array of photographic interest. With
all our visits, we offer a mix of photographic locations and opportunities
centred around this, the greatest of all National Parks. This tour
is no exception as, in addition to the time spent in the park, Photoventures
has added a real treat. On this tour, we will be joining a famous
Yellowstone photographer to photograph with him in the Beartooth
Mountains. Here we hope to be able to photograph a variety of birds
at the nest including woodpeckers, flickers, swallows, wrens, bluebirds
and possibly owls. We also hope to include a visit to the West Yellowstone
Rodeo, a real part of the old west. It is hoped that Yellowstone
and the Grand Teton National Parks will be resplendent with the
carpets of spring flowers and wild life preparing for the summer
months.
The tour will
begin in Jackson Hole with time to explore the spring meadows as
well as the many other attractions of the majestic valley. From
there we journey north into the heart of Yellowstone to visit this
amazing park. Our visit is timed for the emergence of spring. Not
only will we be able to explore the fabulous thermal features, we
can also photograph the carpets of spring flowers, the new born
bison calves as well as elk and moose in their velvet. This area
will allow us to visit many great locations including Fountain Paintpots,
Old Faithful, Upper Geyser Basin, Norris, Grand Prismatic Spring,
Black Sand Basin and of course the famous Tangled Creek. There will
be ample time to photograph at these locations and enjoy the spring
beauty to the full.
Having thoroughly
explored the central part of Yellowstone we will travel north to
Gardiner for our visit to Mammoth Hot Springs. The mammoth area
is set on a limestone plateau and creates some of the most interesting
thermal features to be found in Yellowstone. We then continue through
the Lamar Valley to Cooke City for our visit with the famous wildlife
photographer. Here we spend the next three days in the wild woods
of the Beartooth Mountains photographing the birds and other wildlife.
We then return
to Jackson Hole through Yellowstone for the completion of our tour.
Still time to enjoy the splendid Hayden Valley and majesty of the
Grand Teton National Park as we journey south.
