The Experience
Bighorn Wilderness Tours offers guided wildlife photography trips, 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 guided trips in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. Additionally, Bighorn Wilderness Tours offers hosted trips to destinations throughout the world.
We specialize in wildlife photography and offer private 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 Yellowstone overnight trips, guests stay at the luxurious Sage Lodge in Paradise Valley, Montana, or other comparable lodges. For Jackson Hole trips, Jackson, Wyoming, is where we focus on food and accommodations. And in the winter, we partner with other outfitters to offer snowcoach trips that take guests deep into the backcountry.
