Yellowstone Winter Ecology Trip

Travel and learn with EPI - you'll go beyond what most park visitors see by working with park researchers, studying animal tracks by snowshoe and heading to the Lamar Valley for a day of wolf observation.

Yellowstone Winter Ecology is hosted by Ecology Project International in collaboration with KAEE. Melinda Wilder will be leading the trip.
