Travel with us to Yellowstone in Winter and experience the park as few others do.  During winter you can truly escape from it all and delight in the solitude and silence that permeates this crisp, snow-covered land. Winter means fewer crowds, and a higher concentration of wildlife, in the lower-elevation meadows and valleys.   Against the snowy background, elk, bison, wolves, and other animals become relatively easy to spot.  Clouds of hot steam billow up around the nearly deserted hot springs, and their bright colors are accentuated against a white backdrop.   The contrasting blue skies, white meadows, steamy geysers, and wildlife make for visually stunning images.
