Travel Photography: Destination ... Yellowstone! My husband and I are planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park the first week of June. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for the best photography sites for wildlife? Thanks!

Nancy: My wife and I have been going to Yellowstone almost every year in the summer for 25 years. We have seen many things. The most interesting was the grizzly bear killing an elk in Hayden Valley. - For photographing wildlife, I like Lamar Valley at sunrise. There you can occasionally catch the wolves and bears. - I like Hayden Valley at sunset because of the quality of the light. - I like the Madison River drive heading for the town of West Yellowstone during the day. The secret to Yellowstone is to be watching the wildlife while everyone else is eating breakfast or dinner. Also check out Fishing Bridge in the middle of the day for the overhead shots of the big trout.

Nancy, I'm just a hobbiest photographer, and I will be making my first trip to Yellowstone in June, also. I found a book entitled "Photographer's Guide To Yellowstone & The Tetons" by Joesph K. Lange that seems very useful and a fun read. Hope this helps.

I just got an email from Gary Ferguson, the author of "The Yellowstone Wolves: The First Year". He has a new book coming out called "Decade of the Wolf" which is the story of the last ten years of wolf history in Yellowstone. On the shelves in April. This should help any visitor to the park this year. Ken Rush
