While winter may bring cold temperatures, snowy days and a resounding stillness to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, it is also undoubtedly one of the most exciting seasons to go on a wildlife safari. Yellowstone in winter is an extreme, exclusive place. Of the 300 miles of road in the Park, only 50 miles are open to regular vehicles between the months of November to April. A full-day winter tour with Yellowstone Safari Co. focuses on this region, the spectacular Northern Range between Mammoth Hot Springs and Cooke City, Montana, where some of the best wildlife viewing in North American can be found. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is a region steeped in history and wildness, where nature thrives as it did prior to human settlement. On your safari you will have an opportunity to view hundreds, if not thousands, of large mammals and other wildlife, including herds of bison and elk, gray wolves, mule deer, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and more.

Yellowstone is the perfect setting for a family adventure, where curiosity runs wild and learning happens naturally. This Family Adventure tour is designed with both kids and adults in mind, creating experiences that are not only fun and active, but also spark a lifelong appreciation for nature. With expert guides leading the way, your family will explore some of the park’s most fascinating landscapes and wildlife habitats in an approachable, engaging way. Using spotting scopes and binoculars, we help young eyes focus on the action from a safe distance while offering fun facts and playful interactions that keep everyone involved. As animals retreat for their midday rest, we head out on foot for a hands-on exploration of Yellowstone’s hidden wonders. Whether it’s animal tracks, feathers, antlers, or even a little scat (yes—poop!), there’s always something exciting to discover and talk about.
