Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari from Bozeman

Immerse yourself in the wildness of Yellowstone’s landscape by utilizing the ancient technology of snowshoes. This tour provides an unmatchable backcountry experience of magnificent winter ecology. Though winter can seem like the least likely time to go for a walk in the woods, it is really one of the most rewarding. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem comes alive as wildlife moves from summer to winter ranges. Snow illuminates the landscape in a way you may never have noticed. Wildlife tracks appear frozen in time, and plants and rivers allow for our reflection on resilience and longevity. On this private full-day snowshoe trek, you will explore the environment in an in-depth, hands-on way. Your expert naturalist guide will interpret what you find and what you see, and you may be surprised with the story that arises.

Q&A

Q: What’s the age limit for the snowshoe safari? Can kids join?

A: Kids are absolutely welcome on this snowshoe safari! The guides usually suggest that kids around 8 years and older can manage the trek, but it really depends on their fitness level. It’s a fantastic way to get them connected with nature, especially in the stunning winter landscape. Just make sure they’re bundled up warm and have sturdy boots!

Q: How does the weather affect the tour? What if it snows too much?

A: The guides assess the weather conditions daily, and they’re pretty good at knowing when it's safe to go. If conditions are too severe, they’ll usually offer to reschedule. Bring layers! It can get cold, but the experience is magical if the weather cooperates. If you do have to reschedule, they’re pretty flexible with that.

Q: What should we wear for the snowshoe tour? Any specific gear needed?

A: Layering is key! Start with moisture-wicking clothes, add an insulating layer like a fleece, and finish with a waterproof outer layer. Good winter boots are a must because you'll be in snow all day. The tour provides snowshoes and poles, but definitely bring gloves and a warm hat. Oh, and don’t forget sunglasses—they help with glare off the snow!

Just booked the Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari! Any tips?

I'm so excited! I just booked the Yellowstone Snowshoe Safari for my partner and me for mid-January. We're both beginner snowshoers, but we love being outdoors. Any must-know tips or things to pack? Also, how's the picnic lunch? Is it really good?

Help! Is the snowshoe tour suitable for older folks?

My parents are in their late 60s, and I’m considering this safari for a family trip. They’re pretty active, but they haven’t done much snowshoeing before. Any thoughts on the difficulty level? Should I pick something easier?
