But there’s a harder truth attached to that reputation: when a trip this iconic has a maximum of six guests & only one place left, it stops being something to consider & starts being something to decide about today. [![A Hunting Red Fox Photographed During The Natureslens Winter Wildlife Of Yellowstone Wildlife Photography Holiday](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/A-hunting-red-fox-photographed-during-the-NaturesLens-Winter-Wildlife-of-Yellowstone-wildlife-photography-holiday.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/A-hunting-red-fox-photographed-during-the-NaturesLens-Winter-Wildlife-of-Yellowstone-wildlife-photography-holiday.jpg) Our [Winter Wildlife of Yellowstone Photography Tour](https://natureslens.co.uk/photography-holiday/united-states/wildlife-of-yellowstone/) is scheduled for 23rd February to 4th March [2029](https://natureslens.co.uk/during/2029/), & **we have a single place remaining**. [![A Red Fox Trotting By Photographed During The Natureslens Winter Wildlife Of Yellowstone Wildlife Photography Holiday](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/A-red-fox-trotting-by-photographed-during-the-NaturesLens-Winter-Wildlife-of-Yellowstone-wildlife-photography-holiday.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/A-red-fox-trotting-by-photographed-during-the-NaturesLens-Winter-Wildlife-of-Yellowstone-wildlife-photography-holiday.jpg) Here’s what that place gets you. Nine nights in one of the most distinctive wildlife landscapes on earth, split across two distinct phases. The first three full days take you deep into the interior of Yellowstone by snow coach – a mode of access that most visitors never experience – searching for [bison](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/bison/) in the thermal basins, [red foxes](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/red-fox/) mousing in deep snow, [coyotes](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/coyote/) crossing open meadows against snow-capped ridgelines, Trumpeter Swans, [otters](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/otter/) & bobcats. You’ll also visit Old Faithful, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone & the geyser basins; these aren’t just tick-list detours, they’re genuinely distinctive photographic environments when the thermals are steaming against frozen air in late February.

In winter, the snow-covered valley floor turns wolf-spotting into something that rewards patience rather than luck, as dark shapes moving across white hillsides become visible at distances that simply don’t exist in summer vegetation. You’re also in prime territory for elk, [moose](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/moose/), [bighorn sheep](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/bighorn-sheep/), [bald eagles](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/bald-eagle/), [pine marten](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/pine-marten/) & [stoat](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/stoat/) throughout this phase. If conditions align, a fox mousing session here produces the kind of images that define a portfolio.

The guide-to-client ratio runs no higher than 1:3, which in practice means genuinely responsive, attentive guidance rather than group herding. Single-occupancy accommodation is included throughout, full board, with all park fees covered. The trip is graded hard for physical activity – Yellowstone in winter demands proper cold-weather preparation – but the reward side of that equation is proportional. The current price is £7,999, reservable on a £1,600 deposit.
