Nature Smart: A wolf encounter worth the wait in Yellowstone

After days of near misses while searching for wolves in Yellowstone National Park earlier this winter, Stan Tekiela and his companions found a pack early one day. This black specimen paused to howl in the crisp morning air.

Wolves in a snowy landscape are my winter photography focus in Yellowstone National Park. We make every effort to locate and position ourselves to capture images of these amazing creatures. This was the case recently, while leading a tour in the interior of Yellowstone.
In order to gain access to the closed-to-the-public interior in winter, we obtained special permits and also hired a snow coach. The snow coaches are four-wheel-drive, monster truck-like vehicles with 46-inch tires.
