When winter blankets the park in snow, Yellowstone transforms into a serene and magical wonderland. Yellowstone Safari Co. offers a variety of winter tours, each designed to highlight the park’s unique beauty, snow-covered wilderness, and magical winter landscapes throughout the season.
The Yellowstone Winter Wildlife Safari offers a rare opportunity to see the park’s wildlife in the stillness of winter. The season is a prime time for wildlife viewing as wolves, bison, elk, and other animals stand out against the snowy landscape, making them easier to spot. Plus, Yellowstone Safari Co.’s guides are experts at navigating the park in winter conditions, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience for guests throughout the tour.
For a more immersive winter experience, the Snowshoe Safari allows guests to strap on snowshoes and explore Yellowstone’s backcountry on foot.

Led by a knowledgeable guide, this tour combines adventure and education, as you trek through snow-covered meadows and forests while learning about winter ecology and animal tracking.
Yellowstone’s geysers and waterfalls are stunning in winter, with steam rising from hot springs and ice framing cascading waterfalls. Witness the park’s geothermal features in a whole new light as steam rises dramatically against the wintry surroundings. Two separate journeys, the Yellowstone Snowcoach Tour (focusing on frozen waterfalls) and the Old Faithful Winter Tour (focusing on the geothermal wonders) create a surreal seasonal experience, treating visitors to some of the most breathtaking winter scenery Yellowstone has to offer.
Much like the summer Bear and Wolf Safari, the winter Wolves and Wildlife Safari offers multi-day options, allowing for extended time in the park’s prime wolf-watching areas. Winter is one of the best times to observe wolves, as their dark fur contrasts against the snow, and they are often more active in search of food. Focusing on tracking wolves in the snowy Lamar Valley, guests will also have opportunities to see other wildlife like bison, coyotes, and eagles, all while learning about the unique challenges animals face in winter.
Yellowstone Safari Co.’s sister company, Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris, extends the same exceptional tour experiences to the Tetons and surrounding areas.
