The Experience
Bighorn Wilderness Tours offers photography workshops and tours in some of the most world-renowned mountain wilderness destinations. With a focus on wildlife photography, our expeditions primarily take place in Yellowstone National Park. Bighorn Wilderness Tours also offers trips in Grand Teton National Park and hosted trips to destinations throughout the world. We specialize in wildlife photography and offer small group trips with a maximum of six people. Our focus is the best possible experience, so we work hard and don’t spare any expense to ensure the best possible adventure. Our trips are also highly customizable so guests have the ideal trip. Our vehicles are customized, overland-ready luxury Land Rovers that make for a comfortable experience during hours of driving. For overnight trips, guests stay at the luxurious Sage Lodge or other comparable lodges. And in the winter, we partner with another outfitter to offer snowcoach trips that take guests deep into the backcountry.
