Winter Trails and Wildlife Tour
For those interested in experiencing all Yellowstone’s Northern Range has to offer, this is the perfect option. Spend the morning wildlife watching, then escape the roadside crowds by joining your naturalist guide in snowshoes or cross-country skiing in Yellowstone’s gorgeous snow-covered wilderness.
Please be prepared to be outside the vehicle for varying lengths of time while wildlife watching. This may include some walking on raised wooden or dirt/gravel or snow-covered trails. Layered clothing is highly recommended as the weather in Yellowstone National Park can change rapidly. Winter guests should plan to bring appropriate sun, wind, & rain protection to maintain comfort throughout the day. Warm, waterproof boots are highly recommended for all snowshoe touring in the park.
