Winter is a magical time when the park is serenely ruled by the forces of nature.
Enter this world of winter wildlife, steaming thermals, and a Yellowstone blanketed in snow, as you look for antelope, bald eagles, bighorn sheep, elk, and bison. Witness the unique geology of Yellowstone at the colorful terraces at Mammoth, learn about the winter behavior and adaptations of the park's wildlife, and visit the colorful Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River with its fantastic waterfalls turned to ice. Travel in small vans in the northern part of the park before transferring to heated snowcoaches to venture deeper into the park near Old Faithful, where most park roads are not open in winter. Naturalist and storyteller Jim Garry introduces you to the park's natural history. Day 2 - Mammoth Walk boardwalks through the mineral terraces at Mammoth.
