Day 1 - Arrive Jackson Hole
Arrive Jackson Hole where there will be a welcome dinner.

Day 2 - Grand Teton National Park
The winter safari begins with a trip into Jackson Hole in search of bighorn sheep, bald and golden eagles, coyotes, bison, mule deer, moose and elk. Later, visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson. Travel by horse-drawn sleigh across the snow to the National Elk Refuge for close-up photos of the massive herd.

Day 4 - Mammoth Hot Springs & Lamar Valley Wolves
Head northward through the park's geyser basins to the silver terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs, where you may see many elk. The evening destination is Cooke City, Montana. As dusk descends, an evening drive through the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone's far northeast corner offers the first chance to see wolves.

Day 5 - Lamar Valley
A full day to look for wolves in the best place in North America to view these magnetic animals. Reintroduced to Yellowstone in the 1990s amid much controversy, wolves were returned to this native ecosystem after a 70-year absence following their government-sanctioned eradication. Now they are flourishing, supported by bountiful prey, including a multitude of elk.

Day 6 - Yellowstone/Bozeman
A final morning to look for the wolves. Return to Mammoth Hot Springs and Bozeman for the final night.
