Yellowstone Winter Recreation

You'll be amazed by how many activities, like snowmobiling, snow coach rides, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, are enjoyed in Yellowstone during the chilly but unbeatably scenic winter months.

Snowmobiling
If you are looking to combine fun, scenery, wildlife, and adventure, then taking a guided snowmobiling trip through Yellowstone is the perfect excursion. Several commercial companies offer guided trips to the attractions of Yellowstone including Old Faithful.

Cross-country Skiing in Yellowstone
Most of Yellowstone is backcountry and managed as wilderness; many miles of trails are available for skiing. Track is set only on a few trails. All unplowed roads and trails are open to cross country skiing and snowshoeing.

Snowcoach Tours in Yellowstone
Hop on a snowcoach and leave the over-snow driving to somebody else. Snowcoaches have been operating in Yellowstone National Park since 1955 providing a warm passage into Yellowstone's winter wonderland.

Ranger-led programs
Ranger-led programs are offered at Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs during the winter months.
