This gallery is for the first portion of our trip to Yellowstone National Park, from Jan 29 to Feb 5, 2012. The following gallery, “YellowStone N.P. Elk/Wolves Feb 2012” is for the last portion of our last day! Initially we took part in a 3 day Yellowstone Association Winter Wolf Discovery tour (which was great, and yes we saw wolves). Then we took a snow coach To Old Faithful Snow Lodge for two nights to give us time to hike the geyser basin there. Finally a snow coach back to Mammoth Hot Springs, and then, since our flight home out of Bozeman was not until 3:45 PM, we got up early and drove into Lamar Valley for one more chance to see wolves and other wildlife. Images of the wolves we saw on that last trip into Lamar Valley are in a separate gallery.

Images that start with JT7 are mine, using Nikon's D7000 with various lenses. Those that start with JT3 are Janet's, using Nikon's D300 and their 18-200 VR lens.
