Overview
Yellowstone’s harsh winter conditions drive elk and bison down to lower elevations, especially in Lamar Valley where they’re often spotted by roadways.
Wolves follow their prey as they head to lower elevations, weakened by a lack of food and harsh weather.
People visit the park from all over the world to observe the dramatic lives wolves lead in the winter months as their position in the food chain is either strengthened or weakened.
This Yellowstone winter tour, including complimentary lunch, access to advanced optics, and an experienced guide, explores the dynamic relationship between wolves and their prey, the history of wildlife management in Yellowstone, and the incredible hardships wildlife endure through the park’s coldest months.
