Dear Zoo Friends,

Please join me on an extraordinary adventure to see the wolves of Yellowstone and learn more about their amazing story of extirpation and successful reintroduction into this majestic ecosystem.

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium has a long history with wolves. We currently have a pack of Mexican grey wolves. This subspecies of grey wolf is currently facing the same challenges as their Yellowstone cousins, having been all but eliminated from their range in the southern US. Since 1992, the Zoo has been involved in conservation work with Mexican wolves producing husbandry, education and conservation training videos, and assisting with pre-release programs. Members of our team were fortunate to be able assist with the first Mexican wolf release and a very proud moment for us was the release of one of our pups back to the wild in 2000. It is my hope that the lessons learned from the successful reintroduction gray wolves in Yellowstone will aid in the efforts to save the Mexican wolf.

In addition to wolves, we will hopefully get to see many of the remarkable animals that call Yellowstone and, some of them, the Columbus Zoo home -- bison, pronghorn, elk, moose and bears to name just a few. There are 67 species of mammals and 300 species of birds in this diverse ecosystem -- we are in for a great trip!

This is a small-group expedition, and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s space is limited to just 10 guests. For special savings of more than $600 per couple (family and friends are also eligible), reserve today online at http://columbuszoo.orbridge.com, by calling Patti Cattey at the Columbus Zoo (614) 724-3558 or Orbridge (866) 639-0079 or by returning the enclosed reservation form.

I hope you will join me on this unique opportunity for our insiders look at Yellowstone.

Warm regards,

Program Highlights: Immerse yourself in the unspoiled natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and dramatic tales of this unique ecosystem during this exclusive small group expedition (maximum 18 guests) to Yellowstone in winter.

Scout for wolves from the warmth of a heated vehicle—Yellowstone is considered the best wolf-watching habitat in the country.

Joined by an expert Orbridge Expedition Leader and professional naturalist guides, learn informed perspectives and first-person accounts of the wolves’ setbacks, survival, and victories.

Keep binoculars close at hand: this is the “Serengeti of North America,” ranged by resident bison, elk, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, moose, and other wildlife.

Experience Yellowstone in its winter incarnation: a world with frozen “geyser rain,” ghost trees with a frosty glaze, surprising winter wildflowers, and dynamic geothermal features set in snow and ice.

Enjoy a private, after-hours visit at the Museum of the Rockies, where the area’s natural history is highlighted by one of the most important collections of dinosaur fossils in the world.

What's included: 6 nights accommodations with luggage porterage; 6 breakfasts, 5 lunches, and 6 dinners including a special farewell dinner in Bozeman; admission and park fees; all gratuities; and airport transfers for guests arriving and departing during the suggested times. Day-by-Day Itinerary*: Day 1: Arrive in Jackson, WY Welcome to Jackson! This evening, during a welcome dinner at the historic Wort Hotel, get to know your traveling companions and Orbridge Expedition Leader as you discuss and anticipate your upcoming adventure. Overnight: The Wort Hotel (D)

Day 2: Jackson / Old Faithful Today, depart for Old Faithful, traveling through the Grand Teton National Park to Yellowstone's South Entrance where we change vehicles for a specially equipped snow coach. This afternoon, watch Old Faithful erupt, then enjoy a nature walk to the Castle Geyser and Upper Geyser Basin. Overnight: Old Faithful Snow Lodge (B,L,D)

Day 3: Old Faithful / Mammoth Hot Springs / Gardiner, MT Head to Mammoth Hot Springs, a unique area of the park where colorful travertine terraces create mesmerizing, intricate landscapes. During a stop at the Lower Geyser Basin, discover the four geothermal features of the park: hot springs, mud pots, geysers, and fumaroles. Next, visit Yellowstone's Grand Canyon and its incredible Upper and Lower Falls, both encased in ice and snow as if frozen in time. This afternoon, a walk through historic Fort Yellowstone or along the boardwalk of the nearby hot springs will introduce us to this section of the park. Overnight: Yellowstone Gateway Inn (B,L,D)

Day 4: Lamar Valley After breakfast, an early departure brings us to prime wolf habitat, Lamar Valley. Aboard a heated van, venture into a winter wonderland where wolves and other wildlife play, hunt, and survive. Dusted with snow, bison stand majestically within this protected area, and elk gather in the river valleys. Wolves stay in range of the movements of their prey, and with the season's bare trees and frosty backdrops, conditions are better than any other time of year to spot the elusive predators. During this full-day safari, our driver and guide will share a wealth of knowledge, stories, and a trained eye to spot wildlife. Overnight: Yellowstone Gateway Inn (B,L,D)

Day 5: Lamar Valley Another full-day safari in Lamar Valley gives us the opportunity to reach viewing points where wolf sightings have been reported. Learn about the wolves' evolving family tree, the packs currently roaming the park, and the dynamics between individuals and families. Dramatic stories and perspectives about the saga of the wolves' demise and comeback over the last several decades add to this second day of scouting. Overnight: Yellowstone Gateway Inn (B,L,D)

Day 6: Gardiner / Bozeman This morning we make our final excursion to Lamar Valley. After lunch we say our goodbyes to Yellowstone National Park, passing the iconic Roosevelt Arch at the North Entrance on our way to Bozeman for a special evening. At the Museum of the Rockies, we finish our adventure with a festive farewell dinner amidst one of the most important collections of dinosaur fossils in the world. Learn about the discoveries made in this area from a knowledgeable guide—an exclusive after-hours tour that will set the scene for a fond farewell to the wolves, the park, and your traveling companions.

Activity Level:

Moderate The majority of the program’s activities will take place outdoors and a fair amount of walking on varying terrain is to be expected. Many of the dirt trails and boardwalks in Yellowstone are not routinely shoveled in the winter. It is our expectation that guests on this program can manage cold temperatures; walk on uneven, frozen, or snow- covered terrain; as well as have the ability to get in and out of all-terrain vehicles and be able to manage stairs without assistance. There are opportunities for differing abilities to enjoy Yellowstone National Park. Also keep in mind that you will experience varying altitudes, from 5,282 to 8,391 feet.

Maximum elevation: 8,391 feet at the Continental Divide What Guests Are Saying:

“We rate this trip as one of the top two we have taken in a guided tour situation. Our guide was excellent. The educational content was made very meaningful as it was delivered along the way as we were experiencing the landscape and geological features. Every guide was personable and full of information. Fountains of knowledge, concern for the wildlife and direct experience in the field with them, patience, manners. The fact that one of them was a career park ranger really added to his value as the tour leader.

Each venue had its charm and added to the trip. The Museum of the Rockies tour with the dynamic curator was the "icing on the cake" and made us want to return there to see more. That whole evening experience and the drive to Bozeman truly capped the trip for us.

We have already recommended your company to many friends, and this trip specifically. We will travel with you all again!” –Ann & Charles S., Winter Park, FL

“These sights are what they are...outstanding. Not sure how they could be anything but EXCELLENT!

Our guide had lots of knowledge to draw from...and did so with his presentation and answers to our questions. His sense of humor and clarity of explanations was excellent.” –Jack S., Burlington, NC

“We were well pepared with your gear suggestions and your "expedition library." The Orbridge guide and Yellowstone guides were excellent: well-prepared, knowledgeable and fun! They were connected enough to stop and explain so much of the flora, fauna and history of the area. Best of all, they enabled us to find and hear wolves!

The trip exceeded my expectations. When in Yellowstone, I knew that I was a guest of the natural world and felt privileged to be so. Seeing the alpha female of the pack raise her head, howl to the Junction Butte pack and receive a reply was a moment that I'll never forget. I shall treasure that tiny glimpse into the intelligence and social awareness of the Gray Wolf.

Between Yellowstone and Mammoth Springs was a beautiful trek. Traveling from inside the caldera to Mammoth Springs allowed stunning landscapes, such as the Yellowstone Grand Canyon. The Museum of the Rockies was on my bucket list.” –Sybil R., Sea Island, GA

“Our guide was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. You could tell that he had a sincere interest in what the group was experiencing.” –Amy & Ken M., David, IL

“The presenter at the Museum was flat out outstanding. Very knowledgeable with a real gift of delivery as well as a little humor.” –Jimmy M., Yoakum, TX “Our guide was great. The Museum of the Rockies was very good and the talk by the curator was excellent.” –Juliana G., Douglaston, NY

“The local guides were just outstanding. They are so knowledgeable and did everything possible to make our wildlife viewing as complete and satisfying as possible. Can't say enough about them and our Expedition Leader.” –Martha B., Middleton, WI

“We had high expectations for this trip and Orbridge certainly provided an itinerary and accommodations that were outstanding.” –Bill & Carla M., Alto, MI

“This was most likely one of my all time favorite trips! (We have traveled to 32 nations and 6 continents.)” –Marian & Charlie D., Hendersonville, NC Optional Extension: JACKSON PRE-TOUR

Located in the southern end of Jackson Hole Valley and just 60 miles from Yellowstone National Park, the historic town of Jackson is a charming, four-seasons destination with historic boardwalks, antler arches, endless scenery, and abundant outdoor activities. Choose from optional activities like hiking, snowmobiling, and skiing, or other tamer pursuits such as exploring art galleries and shops, or sampling local fare at one of many superb restaurants.

Itinerary: Day 1: Jackson, Wyoming Welcome to Jackson! Settle into your accommodations and enjoy the evening at your leisure. Overnight: The Wort Hotel

Day 2: Jackson / National Elk Refuge Sleigh Ride Experience a winter wonderland as your sleigh takes you into the heart of the National Elk Refuge, home to an estimated 11,000 elk.

This afternoon and evening are at your leisure. Overnight: The Wort Hotel (B)

Day 3: National Museum of Wildlife Art / Main Program Begins After breakfast, take a private, docent-led guided tour of the museum—designated the "National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States" by order of Congress—situated on a distinct cliff that overlooks the National Elk Refuge. Outdoors you may spot for wildlife before entering inside to view some of the pieces within the collection of over 5,000 from more than 550 artists. The rich artwork dates from 2500 BCE to the present and features the history of wildlife in art form, including the European exploration of the American West. This afternoon is at your leisure before joining the group for the main program this evening for a welcome dinner. (B,D)
