Yellowstone
is one perhaps the most popular destination visited by Photoventures
as it offers such a wonderful array of photographic interest. With
all of our visits we offer a mix of photographic locations and opportunities
centred round this the greatest of all National Parks. This tour
is no exception to that rule as in addition to the time spent in
the park Photoventures has added a real treat. On this tour we will
be joining a famous Yellowstone photographer to photograph with
him in the Beartooth Mountains. Here we hope to be able to photograph
a variety of birds at the nest that include woodpeckers, flickers
and possibly owls. We have also included a visit to the Cody Stampede
celebrated on the 4th July and the most famous Rodeo of the old
west. Of course Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks will
be resplendent with the carpets of spring flowers and wild life
preparing for the summer months.
The tour will begin in Jackson Hole with time to
explore the spring meadows as well as the many other attractions
of the majestic valley. From there we journey north through Yellowstone
to Gardiner for our visit to Mammoth Hot Spring and some of the
most interesting thermal features to be found in Yellowstone. We
then continue through the Lamar Valley to Cooke City for our visit
with the famous wildlife photographer. Here we spend the next three
days in the wild woods of the Beartooth Mountains photographing
the birds and other wildlife. From there we cross to Cody to enjoy
an evening at the famous Cody Stampede.
We return to
Yellowstone from Cody and spend a further five days enjoying the
central part of the park. This will allow us to visit many great
locations including Fountain Paintpots, The Upper Geyser Basin,
Norris, The Grand Prismatic Spring, Black Sand and of course the
famous Tangled Creek. There will be ample time to photograph the
variety of wild flowers that bloom in the park during the spring
and of course the wildlife which is found in abundance.
The
current tour prices reflect the huge drop in the exchange rate of
the US Dollar as of November 2008. Should the exchange rate improve
in the future then tour prices will be reduced accordingly.
