There's nothing quite like it. The crowds are gone and except for the like-minded or occasional snowmobilers, the place has a beautiful quietness. Spending a night in Gardiner, we made our way to Mammoth Lodge to meet our transportation to the Snow Lodge at Old Faithful arriving in time for lunch and a walk around Old Faithful itself catching a mid-afternoon eruption. On cold mornings, the steam in the geyser basins cause frost to cling to everything and, if it's sunny as well, the nature photographer has a feast shooting hoar frost everywhere. We awoke the first full day of our adventure greeted by that kind of morning. It was a great day to be out shooting. The second and third days brought overcast skies and a little snow; perfect for "chasing" wildlife and for photographing waterfalls and Yellowstone Canyon. Of course, we photographed the great winter landscape as well. Our guides were excellent; not only knew their way around but where we needed to be and at what time. After our days at Old Faithful, we were taken back to Mammoth Lodge where we spent a few hours around the fountains and springs in the area. Here's a sampling of images created by our participants; a fun group to be with.
