Get Immersed in the Wild Country

Trip Overview
This isn’t just any snowmobile tour. It’s three days of riding through America’s first national park when it’s blanketed in snow and transformed into something truly magical. You’ll:
- Travel the groomed park roads, lead by one of our professionally trained and experienced guides, on environmentally-friendly four-stroke snowmobiles with heated handlebars;
- Visit all of the steaming geysers and thermal features Yellowstone’s winter wonderland is famous for;
- Watch bison herds, elk, eagles and swans along the rivers and if we’re super lucky catch a glimpse of one of the several wolf packs that call Yellowstone home;
- Stay at comfortable lodges with warm meals and genuine western hospitality, and ample opportunity for good old-fashion fun and laughter!

Day One: Jackson to West Yellowstone via Old Faithful
Morning Preparation
Your adventure begins with a hearty breakfast at the Virginian Restaurant. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know the others in your group and your guide.
Into Yellowstone
After a van ride to the south entrance Yellowstone National Park and a snowmobile safety orientation, we’re off on the wide, groomed roads of the Park. We will make numerous stops along the Lewis River and we will have lunch at Old Faithful. The highlight of the day; see the famous Old Faithful geyser erupt against a snowy backdrop! After lunch we travel further north to go and explore more geysers and hydrothermal features Yellowstone National Park is famous for.
Wildlife Along Madison River
We continue further along the banks of the Madison River, pausing to observe the numerous herds of wild bison that winter in this area. These massive animals against the white landscape create unforgettable photo opportunities.
Evening in West Yellowstone
We exit the Park at the west entrance to spend the night at the historic Stagecoach Inn in West Yellowstone, Montana. The tastefully appointed rooms and the superb Bullwinkles restaurant make for a perfect place to relax and swap stories about your first day.
Day Two: West Yellowstone to Gardiner via Mammoth Hot Springs
Breakfast at Three Bear Lodge
Both locals and visitors agree that the Three Bear Restaurant offers excellent meals and is one of the area’s best places to eat.
Northern Park Loop
After breakfast we reenter the Park and head north along the Gibbon River, keeping our eyes peeled for bison and elk. If we are real lucky we might even see the Gibbon Meadows wolf pack. There’s plenty of time to go explore the upper and the lower falls of the Yellowstone river. After lunch at the Canyon Visitor Center, we head back North by Nymph Lake, Roaring Mountain, Sheepeater Cliff, through Swan Lake Flats and Golden Gate.
Gardiner Evening
At the end of the day we park our snowmobiles at Mammoth and take a short van ride down off the hill. We arrive in Gardiner, Montana—a small town where western hospitality isn’t just a saying, it’s a way of life. Tonight we stay at the Ridgeline Hotel at Yellowstone and dine at the Yellowstone Mine.
Day Three: Gardiner to Jackson via Grand Canyon of Yellowstone
Grand Canyon & Hayden Valley
On Day three we travel a little over 90 miles on the snowmobile, all the way from the North entrance back down to the South entrance. We will travel by the frozen waterfalls of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, by Mud Volcano and continue through Hayden Valley—what many consider the highlight of the entire tour. The big game viewing and high country scenery are simply spectacular.
Photo Paradise
The photo opportunities are endless as we ride along the shores of Yellowstone Lake. Every turn reveals another postcard-perfect scene. Lunch will be at the Fishing Bridge or West Thumb Warming Hut, before finishing our last stretch of the tour along the Lewis River Canyon and by Lewis and Moose Falls.
Journey Home
We return to the South entrance of the Park, then take a scenic van ride through Grand Teton National Park back to Jackson—the perfect ending to an incredible adventure!
