The Details Of Yellowstone Snowmobile Tours

By Carissa Glenn


If you have never visited Yellowstone in the winter, you have missed out on an exciting and unique opportunity to see the beauty and grandeur of this part of the country. Yellowstone snowmobile tours get you into a different world than what you would see during the summer season. For those people who like the chance to enjoy a scenic holiday with none of the stress of bumper to bumper traffic, consider booking a multi-day tour of this area of the National Park and vicinity.

Departure points vary, typically at an entrance to the Park. Visitors may come from surrounding communities, by bus or care to meed up with the tour group at the entrance. The specific arrangements will depend on which points of interest are the focus of your tour. You also need to ensure that the equipment, amenities and riding experience are suited to the tour you choose.

Travelers may choose to come by bus from as far away as Jackson Hole, or the community of West Yellowstone, Montana. Participants can pick from multi-day trips or travel over shorter routes. Some of the popular sights to see are the Grand Canyon and Old Faithful geyser.

Obviously, the equipment is a key factor in the enjoyment of the ride. A snowmobile is not a toy, but riding one can be a lot of fun. You will want to ensure that the equipment is environmentally friendly. Some tour operators offer machines with heated seats and heated handlebars. A machine that is non-polluting and quiet will allow for a more enjoyable experience. You can expect that the machines are well-maintained and free of obvious defects.

Choosing a tour that includes the Yellowstone Grand Canyon is one way to be impressed. This chasm is a major one below the Falls on the namesake river. From the Park entrance, the round trip to see this natural wonder is 120 miles. This trek also includes a view of the Upper and Lower Falls.

Almost everyone has heard of Old Faithful, but not so many people have had the opportunity to see it in the winter. From the south entrance, there is a 90 mile loop to view the geyser. The route also includes travel through the Geyser Basin. Wildlife can often be viewed at various locations in the Park.

A more extensive planned tour incorporates the Grand Canyon and Old Faithful. This trip allows the group to see the Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Lake, Hayden Valley and the Canyon Fishing Bridge. The Loop tour encompasses a round trip of 170 miles through winter landscapes, scenic vistas and the chance of wildlife in the snow.

For an interesting and unique holiday in the winter, consider booking one of the Yellowstone snowmobile tours. The standard treks are variable in length, from a few miles to more than one hundred. You can also arrange for custom tours which last for several days. You can arrange the routes, amenities and the equipment by checking online.
