Yellowstone Winter Wonderland 2026

7 Day Tour from Jackson to Jackson



Tour Description:

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the silent serenity of winter, you’ll also hear the howl of the coyote, the scream of the bald eagle, and the distinct crunch of elk hooves on the fallen snow. It’s a little-known secret that one of the coolest times of year to see the wonders of Yellowstone is when its golden hues turn to glistening white. Fewer crowds of people are replaced with bigger herds of bison while the favorite modes of transportation become snowcoaches, skis, and snowshoes. Get ready to gush as you see the steaming spurts of Old Faithful, the thundering Lower Falls, and the wildlife-filled Lamar Valley in a totally different light. This Yellowstone vacation takes you to the winter wonderlands of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho where additional highlights include traveling through the peaks of the Grand Tetons and a sleigh ride through Jackson’s National Elk Refuge. Jingle all the way.
