Yellowstone in Winter
Snowcoaches, Snowmobiles & Tranquil Beauty
Overview
Yellowstone National Park’s winter wonderland beckons, offering the perfect escape for a variety of travelers. Nature enthusiasts and photographers will find this tranquil season in the park a utopia full of opportunities. Thrill seekers need no coercing as the wide-open spaces are the best backdrop for exploring by snowmobile. Make this a sweet surprise for your valentine, or a multigenerational memory maker — either way, it’s a win! Choose to ride the warm, cozy, snowcoach — a specially adapted vehicle designed to travel throughout the park or share a snowmobile with a traveling companion. Spend one day touring to Old Faithful and one day to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Whether on the snowcoach or via snowmobile, an experienced Yellowstone guide will enrich your knowledge of the animals, geysers and geological formations. No matter which option you choose, the tranquil beauty of one of our nation’s most popular national parks will forever be etched in your mind.
From the wide roads winding through Yellowstone National Park to the trails that snake through nearby Caribou-Targhee National Forest, the vast number of routes available in southwest Montana makes it the Snowmobile Capital of the World. Spend time touring inside Yellowstone National Park, motoring along the same roads that are packed with cars in the summer. Only now, the crowds are minimal, allowing for optimum viewing of the stunning snow-covered landscape, bubbling mud pots and herds of bison.

Sun, Feb 16: Another full day of guided touring awaits including a visit to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and surrounding areas. Spend the day zooming through tall pine trees and open fields on your snowmobile, or stay warm and cozy on the snowcoach.

Following another fun filled day of touring, your evening is free to relax and have dinner on your own. (B,L)
Mon, Feb 17: Today is your free day to roam independently to visit area attractions, such as the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center and the IMAX Theatre offering exclusive wilderness documentaries. Shop the quaint stores and souvenir outlets or sip hot cocoa with new friends. If setting out on the snow is your passion, perhaps investigate opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or sledding. If two days of soaring over the snowy tundra was not enough, daily snowmobile rentals may also be available. This evening, share your escapades with your fellow travelers at a Farewell Dinner. (B,D)
