Overview

While winter may bring cold temperatures, snowy days and a resounding stillness to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, it is also undoubtedly one of the most exciting seasons to go on a wildlife safari. Yellowstone in winter is an extreme, exclusive place. Of the 300 miles of road in the Park, only 50 miles are open to regular vehicles between the months of November to April. A full-day winter tour with Yellowstone Safari Co. focuses on this region, the spectacular Northern Range between Mammoth Hot Springs and Cooke City, Montana, where some of the best wildlife viewing in North American can be found. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is a region steeped in history and wildness, where nature thrives as it did prior to human settlement. On your safari you will have an opportunity to view hundreds, if not thousands, of large mammals and other wildlife, including herds of bison and elk, gray wolves, mule deer, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and more.

Itinerary

Yellowstone River

The Yellowstone River originates in the Absaroka Range at the Continental Divide and flows north through Yellowstone National Park and Paradise Valley before heading east across the plains of Montana and eventually flowing into the Missouri River. It is a large-volume river, fed by several tributaries on its journey eastward. The river provides habitat for many species in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and is known for its excellent trout population. Our safari makes a stop here in search of wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

45 minutes
Lamar Valley

The Lamar Valley is located in the northeastern region of Yellowstone National Park and is well known for its natural beauty, flora and fauna. Such an abundance of wildlife exists here that it has been dubbed "the Serengeti of North America". Our safari makes several stops here in search of wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

2 hours
Roosevelt Arch

The Roosevelt Arch, built in 1903, is constructed of hexagonal blocks of columnar basalt and stands 52ft (16m) high. The arch stands at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, MT. The original conception was to provide a grand entrance to the world's first National Park but subsequent features were never installed and the official park entrance was relocated south of Gardiner. The arch itself remains standing and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

45 minutes
Albright Visitor Center and Museum

The Albright Visitor Center, located in the northern region of Yellowstone, is housed in a historic structure that originally served as quarters for cavalry troops charged with protection of the park prior to the creation of the National Park Service. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

45 minutes
Mammoth Hot Springs

Mammoth Hot Springs is a collection of thermal features at the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is best known for the travertine terraces that form from mineral deposits, but there are many other observable geothermal features in this area. The algae living in the pools creates the distinct brownish, reddish colors. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

1 hour
N/A

The Absaroka Range forms the eastern boundary of Yellowstone National Park and stretches from Wyoming into Montana. The mountain range is considered a sub-range of the Rocky Mountain Range that stretches from Canada into the United States. Our safari makes several stops here in search of wildlife.
