OVERVIEW: Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming is a veritable American icon, is ‘busy’ during the summer months, but in the cool stillness of autumn most folk have left, and the light is mellow. There is wildlife such such as Elk, Moose, Antelope, Mule Deer and Coyote etcetera within camera range, plus gorgeous autumn color to the south as Aspen, Willow and Cottonwoods complement the spectacular Grand Teton range. Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Mammoth hot springs, geysers, old barns plus a session on a working cowboy ranch.

TRAVEL TO THE GATEWAY AIRPORT
o It is recommended that clients arrive a day early to be fresh for the trip, and to also counteract possible flight delays.
o Early arrival also enables you to explore the gateway city should you wish to do so.
o When booking flights, add a day for overnight travel or two days if also crossing the Pacific Ocean/International Dateline.
o The last day of the trip is the date you should arrange your flight home unless you plan to stay on. Thank you!

DAY 1  |  GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, WY
Midday flights into Jackson Hole, followed by lunch and a series of photo stops as we head into Jackson for motel check-in. After a short break, back out to shoot at a leisurely pace in a park set aside for the nation in 1929. Old barns sit well against the towering Teton peaks, as do the golden Aspens at this time of year, and we'll frame some classic last light shots before returning to Jackson for our first supper together.
JACKSON, 1 night

DAY 2  |  YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Following your first classic Teton sunrise photography and breakfast back in Jackson, we'll linger in Grand Teton National Park for part of the day as we head north into Yellowstone. As we progress we’ll be on the lookout for Moose, Antelope, Coyote, Elk, Deer and Osprey. We’ll arrive in the Park late in the day, and be shooting as we head via Old Faithful for our overnight on the edge of the park. Yellowstone National Park was the worlds first, and opened on March 1st, 1872.

WEST YELLOWSTONE, 1 night

DAYS 3 + 4  |  YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
We'll depart before dawn and shoot the first light alongside the Madison River, and continue shooting prior to taking breakfast at Old Faithful. You'll then have a couple of hours to shoot the Old Faithful geyser, and take the short hike for a series of geysers including Morning Glory. Lunch at Old Faithful before heading north via Midway Geyser basin, Fountain Paint Pots, fly fishermen in the Firehole River, Firehole Canyon and Falls and wildlife as the opportunity arises.
On day 4 we'll photograph the wildlife around Gardiner, plus the Gardner River Canyon, Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower Falls, Mount Washburn, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and explore the spots that
most likely harbor Grizzly Bear, Pronghorn Antelope, Elk, Coyote, Bison, and Moose etcetera. Back to Gardiner continuing on the northern loop, shooting as we go.
GARDINER, 2 nights

DAYS 5, 6 + 7
  |  GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

Early light photography once again prior to breakfast then we'll head into Yellowstone Park for the last time. Going south we can shoot some spots already seen, but in different light on this day. Via the Mud Volcano geyser area,
Yellowstone River and Yellowstone Lake to re-enter Grand Teton National Park in the afternoon. Signal Mountain Lodge is our 3 night home and sits at the edge of Jackson Lake. During our stay, first light photography is spectacular and well worth the effort. We’re familiar with the best spots for Moose and Mule Deer in the park, and other highlights will be Oxbow Bend, Jenny Lake, Snake River Overlook, String Lake, Schwabacher Landing, the Chapel of the Transfiguration etcetera. Also included is a Ranch visit to photograph wranglers as they go about their daily Dude Ranch duties. As the sun sets you can be sure that we'll make the best of whatever light is available for some striking Wrangler silhouettes.
JACKSON, 3 nights

DAY 8  |  FLIGHTS HOME
Weather permitting, another gorgeous sunrise, and after breakfast we’ll shoot leisurely once more as we head to Jackson Hole airport for midday flights home.
