February 11-17, 2018 Special Alumni Rate SAVE MORE THAN $600 per couple The Wolves of Yellowstone A 7-DAY WINTER WILDLIFE EXPEDITION * Where Crying Wolf is a Good Thing *

Dear Alumni and Friends, This winter, please join us on an extraordinary adventure: a seven-day wildlife expedition to Yellowstone North America s best wolf-watching habitat. Dressed magnificently with frost and snow, and with visitors few and far between, experience the park when its beauty is more untouched by the outside world than any other time of the year. Hushed and magical landscapes are the setting for steaming geysers, trees covered in ice crystals, and the movements of bison, elk, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and other wildlife followed closely by the park s wolves. Safari aboard custom vehicles with expert naturalists as we explore and learn about the animals, ecosystem, geothermal activity, and history of the park. Visit the Museum of the Rockies after hours for a private guided tour and special farewell dinner, among other exclusive experiences. At day s end, overnight in atmospheric hotels and a park lodge. This small group departure sold-out in just over a week last year, so be certain to reserve your spot today and share this brochure with family and friends who may be interested in traveling with you. I hope you can join us on this special close-to-home tour!

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. ~Ann & Charles S., Winter Park, FL 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. ~Sybil R., Sea Island, GA UCLA.WY.18 The Wolves of Yellowstone FREE ORBRIDGE EXPEDITION LIBRARY February 11-17, 2018 Special Alumni Rate: Save more than $600 per couple When you reserve by TBD, 2017** UCLA Alumni Association Attn: Alumni Travel James West Alumni Center Los Angeles, CA 90095-1397 PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID MERCURY MAILING SYSTEMS, INC.
