| About This Tour | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Vacation Overview The only thing more impressive than Yellowstone in the summertime is Yellowstone in winter! Begin this spectacular vacation with a sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge in Jackson, Wyoming, where as many as 10,000 elk congregate each winter—prime territory for wolves, eagles, and coyotes! Next, tour beautiful Grand Teton National Park before boarding a Bombardier Snocoach and entering Yellowstone National Park. Enjoy a guided tour of Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin, the greatest geothermal basin on earth and home to Old Faithful. Continue to Mammoth Hot Springs, stopping along the way to see the famed Fountain Paint Pots. View the thundering Upper and Lower Falls, and keep your camera ready for bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, coyote, and gray wolves. Head to West Yellowstone, Montana, then motor through the western flanks of the Teton Range with views of the highest peak in the range—Grand Teton itself! Return to Jackson for free time and three overnights. Try the ski slopes at Jackson, do some snowmobiling, stroll the wooden sidewalks, explore the fine shops, and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa—the perfect end to a wonderful Yellowstone winter vacation!

Triple room reductions, when available, are listed on the itinerary pages. A word of caution: Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms and the third bed, if there is one, is often a rollaway put in a twin-bedded room.
