Yellowstone is one of the most fantastic vacation destinations in the world - and yet we improve on this in two ways. First, we travel during the winter months when comparatively few people visit the Park.  Second, we get off the beaten path, using snowshoes and cross country skis.

This is an unforgettable trip few others will ever experience. We spend two nights in the interior of Yellowstone at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge. Old Faithful’s geyser eruptions take place within sight of the hotel and its’ hot water creates massive clouds of steam during the winter eruptions. The lodge is perfectly situated within the park, allowing us to explore on skis at our own pace via various trail options. To access the the snow lodge and many of our trails, we travel via snow coaches, vehicles with tank tracks to keep them on the snow’s surface. In addition to our time in the park, we start and end our trip with hotel stays in fun Bozeman, Montana and luxurious Chico Hot Springs Resort.
 
During the days, we'll explore the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem via cross-country ski, foot and snowshoe with experienced local guides. There will be plenty of time to relax, soak in natural hot spring pools, and eat delicious meals in between our daily activities which are all optional and self-paced. Plus, our January date places us during the full moon, an awesome site over the snowcovered fields and shooting geysers.

Accommodations
We start our trip by staying in Bozeman, a fun Montana college town, at the Best Western. Although the hotel is not luxurious, it is perfectly situated to allow us to enjoy Bozeman.  Our second and third nights are spent in Yellowstone Old Faithful Snow Lodge. We spend our last night in Chico Hot Springs Resort, a wonderful 100-year old gem located right outside the Park in Paradise Valley.
