Winter Landscapes Yellowstone National Park

I’m very likely adding a workshop to the park next winter, email me if you would like to be kept informed. You can also check out my photography workshops…HERE. You can see evidence that I do photograph more than just wildlife and order prints of my landscape photography…HERE. In case you were curious:

• Yellowstone is the world’s first “National Park”
• its total area is 3,472 square miles, or 8,987 square km  (or 2,219,789 acres or 898,317 hectares)
• 96 % of the park’s area lies within the state of Wyoming, 3 % in Montana, and 1 % in Idaho
• Highest Point in the park: 11,358 ft / 3,462 m (Eagle Peak)
• Lowest Point: 5,282 ft / 1,610 m (Reese Creek)
• Approximately 5% of park is covered by water; 15% is grassland; and 80% is forested
• 7 species of native ungulates (hoofed mammals)
• 2 species of bears
• Approximately 67 species of other mammals
• 322 recorded species of birds (148 nesting species)

Here is a map of the images in this gallery that will give you an idea of where I travelled throughout the park. Of course only Lamar Valley is open to civilian cars, the rest of the time we were in a very fun snow coach. It was awesome.
