Yellowstone is a photographer's playground.  It has been a draw for photographers and artists since William H. Jackson and Thomas Moran accompanied the Hayden Expedition in 1871, capturing the first images of the region's curiosities. Yellowstone remains a treasure of opportunity for the photographer, with a vast array of subject matter for the study of light, color and composition.

See Yellowstone with us in any season. Spring wakes slowly with baby wildlife, new flowers and gurgling streams freed from winter’s hold. Fall brings an abundance of wildlife and diminished crowds that make the chill in the air more than bearable. In summer tour with us and enjoy the intimacy of Yellowstone as few ever will. Join us while we explore this delicate ecosystem called Yellowstone National Park. Alpen Guides lead tours that specialize in unhurried and close looks at the rare and breathtaking beauty of the park we love.
