Trip Overview
SOLD OUT! What could be more dramatic than Yellowstone National Park in the winter? Join AdventureWomen in February 2017 for billowing geysers, frosted landscapes, frozen waterfalls, abundant wildlife, and surreal snowscapes in the magical world of winter in Yellowstone – a natural display of unique splendors like no place else on earth!
This 7-day/6-night winter adventure in Yellowstone, an AdventureWomen exclusive, is custom-designed by us. You simply won’t find another trip like this to Yellowstone on anyone else’s adventure travel trip schedule! It is a one-of-a-kind, very special itinerary, with space limited to only 11 participants.
Enter Yellowstone National Park at both its north entrance, Mammoth Hot Springs, and also from the west entrance at West Yellowstone, to experience winter wonders that exist in no other place on earth. Your professional guide and Big Sky-based naturalist will amaze you with her knowledge of the ecology and wildlife in this white-on-white wonderland. This unique itinerary incorporates guided explorations via snowcoach, snowshoe, and by foot, traversing the Park from the famous terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs to the stunning thermal features of Old Faithful.
One of the most special features of this week is the time you will spend viewing wildlife through the beautiful landscapes of the Lamar Valley, getting a rare glimpse of the natural habitat and ecology that is home to Yellowstone’s famous wolves, bison, elk, and other animals. You will also take a snowshoe excursion at the upper terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs.
This active winter vacation includes our favorite Montana guest ranch, just on the border of Yellowstone National Park and a short distance from the Park’s west entrance. From the ranch, continue your jam-packed week of adventurous activities, beginning with a sleigh ride beneath a deep black, star-studded Montana sky with the sounds of crunching snow and jingling harnesses of the draft horses who guide you. There is snowshoeing close to the NW corner of Yellowstone Park and a hike to beautiful frozen waterfalls on the Gallatin River. In Big Sky, dogsled teams of beautiful huskies pull you down the trail where the only sounds are of panting dogs and the swish of sled runners on the snow. Imagine the excitement and thrill of driving the team, operating in harmony with these well-trained athletes!
Yellowstone, the world’s first National Park, was created to preserve for all time the essence of this wilderness with its fragile thermal wonders that struck awe in the hearts of early explorers, and to provide a safe habitat for its wildlife to roam.
