Yellowstone National Park reaches its peak in beauty in the fall.  The elk are bugling, wolves are howling, grizzlies are scrounging for their last meals before hibernation.  Yellowstone's Northwest Corner is bustling with activity.  This trip will feature the less traveled season of late summer / early fall in Yellowstone National Park. The wildlife will be very active and the scenery breathtaking. Bring your camera! Up here we have seen moose grazing with our horses, elk crossing the creek below camp and wolves trotting down the trail.  Our excursion will be for 5 days with 2 nights at each camp.

Our Camps will be along two of the streams in the Northwest Corner.  Fan Creek will be our first destination.  Take time to catch the perfect shot of the aspens in their full golden glory on a day ride to the high mountain Sportsman’s Lake.  Try your hand at photographing the amazing starry skies in this place of no light pollution and very clear skies.  We can spend the day doing short hikes to photograph or just take in the breath taking beauty of this little stream or day ride over the mountain to Sportsman's Lake.  This trip is designed with your comfort in mind; you can stay in camp and relax or ride out and explore the country side.

Our second camp will be located on the upper Gallatin River.  Lewis and Clark named this river when they crossed it over 150 miles from here.  Albert Gallatin was the Secretary of the Treasury as they made their famous journey, and this river is his namesake.  We will camp about five miles below Gallatin Lake the headwaters of this river, on a beautiful winding portion of the river.  At this site years ago, my guests and I got to see two bull elk challenge each other vocally in a bugling contest for a harem of cows.  They snorted, thrashed small trees, and pawed the ground, all the while bugling and squealing for dominance of the herd.  It was quite a sight.

A six mile ride will take us up to 9200 feet and a breathtaking view from Bighorn Pass.  From this vantage point we can see the entire northern portion of Yellowstone National Park.  Often in the small valley below the pass wild life graze on the last green grasses of the summer season.  Big Horn Sheep and Mountain Goats frequest the area as well.
