Four wolves stand on a snowy hill, three of them with heads raised as if howling. The ground is partly covered with snow and the sky is overcast.

Winter Wolf Programs in Yellowstone

January 2025 marked the 30th anniversary of the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park. For winter 2026, the Yellowstone Forever Institute is offering a number of excellent wolf related programs and tours with the opportunity to view wolves in the wild like nowhere else. Programs include our always-popular Wolf Weeks based out of the Lamar Buffalo Ranch.

Our Winter Wolf Discovery package (includes accommodation at Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel) will take place throughout the winter season and includes trips into the northern range and the park’s interior.

With ongoing support from generous park supporters, Yellowstone Forever is proud to have supported the Yellowstone Wolf Project since the beginning.

We hope you join us this special winter season to explore the world of wolves in Yellowstone National Park!

The Winter Wolf Discovery Lodging & Learning package focuses on learning about wolves, and other exciting wildlife, along Yellowstone’s famous northern range. Winter is prime time to view wolves in Yellowstone, and this package is designed to take advantage of this rare opportunity. A Yellowstone Forever field educator will share up-to-date information about Yellowstone wolf biology, behavior, and ecology throughout daily outings. Each evening, participants will return to their comfortable accommodations at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel.
