Yellowstone Winter Adventure
Frequently Asked Questions

We will send you detailed information about the tour in a Pre-Departure Packet once we reach the minimum of ten participants.

What is the weather going to be like?
The average high temperature in Yellowstone during our tour is about 30 degrees - while the average nighttime low hovers around zero degrees. It will be cold. However, you'll be working up a sweat while exercising during the day and keeping warm in our luxury hotel at night. Yellowstone also averages two feet of snow in February alone, so the chances of the white stuff falling on our heads is excellent. It's a winter wonderland.

What is the best way to get to the tour and where do we meet?
We'll pick you up at 1:00 PM in Bozeman, Montana, which has its own airport, allowing you to fly in that morning. We finish in Bozeman at around noon on the last day. Please wait to receive our Pre-Departure Packet before you make any flight reservations.

What should I do if I want to extend my vacation in the area?
Bozeman is a fantastic college town and worth spending a night or two. There are also many ski resorts in the area - Jackson, Big Sky, and Bridger Bowl are three. For more natural beauty, consider Grand Teton National Park just south of Yellowstone.

What ability level do I really need to be for this Adventure?
This Adventure is rated as For All Abilities. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing can be as easy or strenuous as you want to make it.  Both activities are excellent ways to get into nature on a winter stroll - or can be a heart pounding, lung-burning workout if you prefer.  Our guides will provide you with instruction and equipment is available to rent.

For what type of people would you recommend this Adventure?
This trip is fantastic if you have always wanted to see Yellowstone but prefer doing it on your own terms. Most people never see Yellowstone in winter and few see the real backcountry. You do not need to be experienced in either snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.  Both sports are easy for beginers to pick up and we will provide instruction.
