To see Yellowstone in winter is a very special experience. The wildlife is fantastic and so are the landscape possibilities. Frozen waterfalls, geysers, and snow-laden trees all give you great opportunities for stunning winter photography.

	Season	December through February
	Time of day	Any time
	Recommended Subjects	Yellowstone Falls, Castle Geyser, Old Faithful, bison, and elk.
	Gear	Bring a wide-angle lens for landscapes and a telephoto lens for wildlife. I also recommend a tripod. Make sure you are prepared for winter conditions that can be severe. I would bring duct tape so you can tape a chemical heat packet onto your camera body adjacent to the battery and flash card to keep them warm and functioning.
	Other Nearby Resources	Grand Tetons National Park is very close and definitely worth photographing in winter.

Green Tip #101

Alternative Fuel Car

The best thing you can do, as soon as you can afford it, is replace your gas-guzzling car with an electric, hybrid, or alternative fuel car. If you're finances won't allow you to do this, there is still you can do to help. First, make sure your car has been recently tuned-up. Keep your tires properly inflated. Don't run your car when it isn't necessary. If your exhaust stinks to high heaven and knocks out the people following you, then it's time to get a tune-up or upgrade to a low-emissions vehicle. You can do a great deal for planet Earth by using your car intelligently.
