Yellowstone National Park, straddling Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, is America’s first national park—home to an unparalleled winter wilderness where snow covers steaming geysers and frozen forests. Scenic Safaris Winter taps into this frosty magic with their Yellowstone Snowmobile Tour to Old Faithful, a full-day trek that delivers a hands-on encounter with the park’s iconic geothermal wonders and rugged, snow-blanketed backcountry.
Departing from Jackson, Wyoming—just 45 miles south of Yellowstone’s west gate—this tour guides adventurers along expertly groomed snowmobile trails through untouched snowscapes. On the route, expect stops at Moose Falls, Lewis Canyon, and West Thumb Geyser Basin, where steaming pools and shifting earth provide a vivid reminder of the park’s geothermal heartbeat.
