Winter Vacations Can Be Full Of Adventure With Yellowstone Snowmobile Packages

By Kathryn Neal


Every year thousands of tourists descend on national parks throughout the United States. These natural treasures are home to absolutely spectacular views found across the states. Many of these locations are visited during the summer months when the weather is perfect for travel. However, a few of these parks are at their busiest during the winter months. Those attracted to cold and snow can take their vacation to the next level with Yellowstone snowmobile packages.

This particular park stretches over 3,468 square miles of land. Encompassing most of Wyoming and parts of Montana and Idaho, it is home to the largest number of geothermal geysers. It is one of the most pristine and diverse set of ecosystems in the United States. Because of its size and variety, individuals looking for an adventure find the snowy landscape perfect.

The cold season boasts above average snowfall in this area. Because of this, the National Park Service has established well cared for trails that traverse the three state area. With such care, snowmobilers can reach areas that would be impossible on foot. In fact, it is guided tour packages which provide these unique opportunities.

It is important to note that the National Park Service established rules for winter visitors. All snowmobilers that enter the park are required to be with a licensed tour company. This ensures that the vehicles meet the newly established standard for decreasing air and noise pollution. Tour companies must guarantee that they regulations are being followed, rather than an unfamiliar visitor.

The new vehicles were created to lesson exhaust pollution, as well as noise. Along with those important benefits, the mobiles also have some very useful features for the guests. The powerful motors are quiet and clean, they can seat one or two people comfortably, they have an electric starter so no key is needed, and best of all the seats are heated to keep the body warmed.

Most businesses offer varieties of tours to fit most winter needs. However, companies tend to limit the number of participants within the tour to no more than fifteen vehicles. This may require a bit of pre-planning if set on a particular venue. Or, if flexible, there are many other venues equally as exciting. The park is never closed, so the opportunities are endless.

Some people prefer a more relaxed environment that takes a slower pace. There are numerous chances to visit Old faithful, waterfalls, smaller geysers, and the Grand Tetons. If wildlife is preferred, there are tours which go off the trails to allow photographers to catch native wildlife in their winter habitats. Sightseeing tours provide guests the chance to slow down and pay attention to the details of the park.

When looking at vacation options this year, consider going against the norm and look for a winter getaway. With many natural habitats being slowly destroyed, these pristine conditions will become even more rare. Look instead to a winter experience with Yellowstone snowmobile packages. The unique method of travel, along with the excitement of reaching areas that cannot be reached by foot, will surely capture one's imagination.
