Snow Mobile Adventures In Yellowstone
A perfect time and place for a holiday tour would be spending a winter weekend in Yellowstone National Park. These wondrous natural reserve is basking sparkling under a heavy blanket of glistening snow and is beckoning everyone to enjoy the ice blanketed wildlife.
The park is teeming with wildlife under blue clear skies. The area's 10,000 hydrothermal features is a very welcome contrast to the otherwise bitingly cold landscape. I can't think of a safer, comfortable or more exciting way to explore the icy terrain than by a snowmobile. Be sure that you suit yourself up in insulated snow suits, gloves, boots and helmets before you start your journey.
The tour will be starting at the south entrance of Yellowstone Park kicking off with a safety orientation. After the seminar you can now be off on your snowmobile on the wide groomed roads of the reserve. You can have your lunch at Old Faithful and then continue on your rig along the banks of the Madison River. You can stop there to view the thundering herd of wild bison that spends the winter along the river. After the day one tour, you can exit through the west entrance and spend the night at the Stagecoach Inn. It is a historic hotel located at the center of all activities in West Yellowstone, Montana.
Before mounting your rig on day two, you might want to check out the Grizzly Discovery Center in West Yellowstone. The bears do not hibernate in winter because they are continuously fed. The center also houses wolves that are active and visible to tourists. You can then re enter the park and head north on your snowmobile. You will be passing through the geysers of the Norris Basin. There will be enough time for you to enjoy and view the Park Service Interpretative displays and the thermal area at Mammoth Springs. You can cruise along the banks of the Gibbon River which will take you to your night's lodging in Gardiner, Montana
At the break of day three, one would probably think that all that needs to be seen in the park has been viewed, but the best is still to come. You would not want to miss an arresting vision of the frozen waterfalls of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The last day of the tour provides for big game vistas and unbelievable high country scenery. On this day you will be traveling through the Hayden Valley. For most tourists and snowmobile owners, this is the highlight of the tour. There will be a lot of photo opportunities. You will then continue your tour along the shores of the Yellowstone lake and find yourself back to the south entrance where your journey started. You can take a conventional ride from there through the Grand Teton National Park to Jackson. Usually, that's how the tour ends.
Many snowmobile drivers consider the Yellowstone Winter Tour the best choice for a winter weekend adventure. The awesome landscape and teeming wildlife is a perfect backdrop for a wild snowmobile adventure. These elements combined, make for a perfect mix for an exhilarating trip in the icy scape.
Your snowmobile will always be up for fun and crazy rides, but it can also take you to spots where you can commune and view nature's artistic touches in all it's majesty.
