National Park Winter Serenity from Bozeman to Jackson
Of course there's value in sharing. But having Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks all to ourselves seems pretty sweet. The sight of bison lumbering across the icy landscape. Otters fishing in semi-frozen streams. Maybe even a glimpse of a cautious gray wolf. A winter wonderland of epic proportions. And we can't wait to share it with you and your family.
Highlights
- Snowshoe in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, soaking up the quiet and peacefulness of these attractions in winter
- Witness herds of bison peppering the vast frozen plain—a quintessential sight in this spectacular wintry landscape
- Behold Yellowstone's famous steaming fumaroles and bubbling mud pots—magic against the bright snowscape
- Marvel at the snowcapped peaks of the Teton Range, whose grandeur is at its best in the wintertime

Travel by snow coach to one of the park’s most photographed spots—the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone—with its immense size, multicolored canyon walls and thundering waterfalls • In winter, massive Lower Falls often freezes into a natural ice sculpture—truly a magical sight! • On snowshoes, explore the rim, passing through stands of snow-dusted lodgepole pine • Watch for bison foraging in open meadows and steam rising from colorful geothermal pools • Snowshoe to peaceful Upper Geyser Basin, with the highest concentration of geothermal features in the park • Pass by steaming Morning Glory Pool and witness Castle Geyser's turreted cone eruption and surges from Spasmodic Geyser's two sunken pools • Watch Old Faithful Geyser blow its steam • Grab a pair of skates at the lodge and wander over to the ice skating pond or kick your feet up by the bonfire.

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
On this trip we stay at Old Faithful Snow Lodge. While this accommodation reflects the natural surroundings of the national parks and provides unparalleled access to the best activities in the area, it is simpler than is typical of Backroads lodging. The lodge has basic guest rooms that are not equipped with televisions. Please note that internet and cell phone service are extremely limited throughout the parks.
