Trip Overview
In winter, the vast valleys and streams of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are a haven for North America’s most beautiful animals, easy to spot against the awe-inspiring, snowy-white backdrop. Over 7,000 elk migrate to the National Elk Refuge outside of Jackson, often referred to as “the Serengeti of North America!” We may see moose at Oxbow Bend, coyotes searching for a meal, and bald eagles flying overhead. Of course, the highlight of our trip is spotting wolves, and we have an excellent chance to see these mystical animals as they traverse the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone in search of food. All of this in a specialized wildlife itinerary at the side of our expert Expedition Leaders.
