Tetons AUTUMN
OUTLINE: The
people are gone, there is abundant and accessible wildlife, and all
is peaceful in Yellowstone National Park as another winter takes
it's course. This is a crisp, pristine and quiet time of year in the
park. Ideal conditions in which to point your camera at the Grand
Canyon of the Yellowstone, Mammoth Hot Springs, and the Lamar
Valley, plus wildlife including Elk, Bison, Big Horn Sheep,
Pronghorn Antelope and Coyote. All this and the majestic Teton peaks
plus PhotoShop sessions. Macro, landscape and wildlife.
OVERSEAS TRAVEL
<> It is recommended, but not imperative, that you arrive a day early to be fresh and on time for the trip!
<> Early arrival also enables you to explore the gateway city should you wish.
<> A late flight arrival on day 1 of the trip might entail you having to find your own way to the first hotel, if not close to the airport.
<> Please note that the ending date of the trip is the day of your departure flight. Please arrange your flights accordingly.
DAY 1 | To YELLOWSTONE N. P., WYOMING
Your midday flight into
Bozeman, Montana will be met by
myself, John, and on route to Gardiner we'll
pause to photograph the occasional Montana winter scene. After
hotel check-in, light permitting, we'll explore the spots known to
John that hold wildlife, and that are in the vicinity of
Gardiner.
GARDINER, 5 nights
DAYS 2, 3, 4, and 5
| YELLOWSTONE
During the next four days we'll explore the immediate Mammoth Hot
Springs area, and have the use of our own van in which we can
casually 'patrol' the Mammoth to Cooke City road . . . the only road
open in the park and along which we'll be on the lookout for Elk,
Bison, Antelope, Bighorn Sheep, Coyote and Deer etcetera. On a day trip
aboard a custom snow-coach, we'll visit the magnificent Grand Canyon
of the Yellowstone and many other park gems, while shooting
wildlife, natural history and snow-scapes as we go.
Occasional evenings and free time will include informal slide and
print critiques, and a smattering of John's multi-image programs,
known as 'Visual Journeys'. John's style in the main is to
produce 'third images' with two projectors, and you'll find these
both relaxing and inspiring.
DAY 6 | To JACKSON, WYOMING
Following hearty breakfasts we'll get on the road to Jackson -
shooting as we go - via Bozeman and Big Sky. We'll detour to Quake
Lake and the Henry's Lake mountains of Idaho, and they will be
the backdrop for some rustic cabin shots. South via Ashton, and
more stops and minor detours in Tetonia county for late light
photography on the Idaho side of the Teton range. You'll find that
the Teton peaks are almost as spectacular from the west side then
on into Jackson, Wyoming for our 3 night stay in town.
JACKSON, 3 nights
DAYS 7 and 8
| GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
Winter sunrises on the Teton peaks are among America's best, and
during our two days of photographing the park, we'll capture many a
scene that would fit cozily into a breath mint commercial. The park
also has it's fair share of wildlife, and I shall offer a sleigh
ride to photograph elk . . . part of the feeding and protection
program there. Deep in the park we'll pursue Moose, Otter and
Trumpeter Swans besides many a scene with a Teton backdrop.
DAY 9 | Flights home
Another great sunrise if weather permits, and back to Jackson for
hot breakfasts. Check-out of our motel, and a short ride to Jackson
Hole airport for morning flights home.
