Before you book
This tour does not start in West Yellowstone. It picks up north of the park and goes in by the North Entrance, on the North Entrance to Northeast Entrance road, the only road in the park open to cars all year. Visitors 16 and older who do not live in the US also owe the park’s $100 nonresident fee; an annual or America the Beautiful pass covers it.
Where it starts
Pickup at lodgings in Bozeman, Livingston, Paradise Valley or Gardiner, not West Yellowstone; staying outside that area, you join the van at a meeting point the operator sets. Pickup comes with the tour for all guests.
Its pickup list has lodgings in Bozeman, Gardiner, Livingston and Pray.
Pickup details
Guests are collected at their lodging if it is in Bozeman, Paradise Valley or Gardiner.
Staying somewhere else? The company says you can meet the van in town and get on there; ask it where.
About this tour
Spend a winter day in the north of Yellowstone with only your own group. Snow lies over the wide views, the steaming hot springs and the tall cliffs.
A naturalist guide explains how the land took shape and talks about the Native peoples of the area, the park’s past, and the plants and animals you pass.
The company drives you to the park and back, so nobody in your group has to handle snowy roads. It also arranges the snowshoes for the walk.
Guests from abroad could face a new park fee as well. If so, the park collects it on the day rather than at booking.
The route
Stop order and times both come from the operator. On the day, wildlife and traffic can change the times.

-
Calcite Springs Overlook
