Two Day Winter Wildlife Safari in Yellowstone

New48 hFree cancellationBy Obsidian Expeditions

About this activity

Experience a magical winter journey through Yellowstone National Park and the famed Lamar Valley, known as the American Serengeti.

Led by guides with decades of expertise in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, you’ll encounter wintering herds of elk, bison, and bighorn sheep amid steaming hot springs and snow-covered peaks. The Lamar Valley is a prime location to spot large packs of gray wolves, along with coyotes, bald eagles, and Trumpeter Swans.

Your guide will share insights into the park’s unique ecosystem, which was shaped by ancient oceans, super volcanoes, and glaciers, as well as the influences of Native American tribes and historical figures.

As a highlight, enjoy a 1.5-mile (2.4-km) snowshoe or hike along the Upper Mammoth Hot Springs Terrace, exploring the stunning beauty of Canary Springs, Cupid Springs, and Orange Mound Springs.

To top off your experience, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing mineral soak at Chico Hot Springs.
