Yellowstone National Park Winter Wildlife Safari

Discover Yellowstone in its quietest, snow-covered season on a winter wildlife safari through the park and the famed Lamar Valley, often called the American Serengeti. With an experienced guide, scan the landscape for wintering elk, bison, and bighorn sheep, as well as gray wolves, coyotes, bald eagles, and trumpeter swans. Professional-grade Vortex spotting scopes and binoculars help bring distant wildlife into view.

Along the way, your guide shares stories of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, from ancient oceans, volcanic forces, and glaciers to Native American tribes and historical figures. The outing also includes a 1.5-mile snowshoe or hike across the Upper Mammoth Hot Springs Terrace, where Canary, Cupid, and Orange Mound Springs add color to the winter scenery. A mineral soak at Chico Hot Springs is another opportunity mentioned for the experience.

Transportation, snacks, light breakfast snacks, bottled water, and your choice of a salad, sandwich, or wrap are provided. National Park entry fees and guide gratuity are not included. Set out with a guide and discover the wild winter landscapes that make Yellowstone National Park a remarkable place to explore.
