As the winter solstice approaches, Yellowstone National Park enters its quietest season. Wildlife biologist Aaron Bott explores how snow, cold and limited daylight shape survival for wolves, bison, elk, bears, beavers and other animals, from shifting pack movements to energy-saving strategies. He also touches on Yellowstone’s human story, from seasonal park operations to the stillness that settles in as roads close and visitation wanes. Plus, find out how you can experience this special season on our winter Yellowstone adventures!
