Yellowstone Snowmobile Tours
Yellowstone Snowmobile Tours:
Touring Yellowstone National Park on the back of a snowmobile gives visitors a unique viewpoint of the park’s beautiful landscape of frozen waterfalls, icicle-heavy trees and grazing animals. Yellowstone snowmobile tours can be arranged through a variety of touring companies available to lead explorations of the park land. Tours can last anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. There are guided tours of the 200 miles of trails currently in the park, as well independent exploration of the open spaces of National Forest lands. Prior snowmobile experience isn’t a necessity; the companies generally provide a safety orientation and instruction, and will have equipment such as heavy jackets, boots, pants, a helmet and gloves designed for both safety and warmth. Snowmobile handlebars usually have a warming feature that helps keep the appendages warm throughout long rides. For those interested in multi-day Yellowstone snowmobile tours, there are lodging facilities throughout the park where evenings can be spent. Typically, tours begin with an early breakfast, and then riders hit the trail by about 9 a.m. Tour guides make frequent stops for photos, exploring Yellowstone’s famous hydrothermal areas, bathroom breaks - there are well-maintained restrooms - and stretching. On these tours, riders will see bison and elk, covered in a winter frost. The colorful bubbling hot springs provide warmth and thawed grass for the animals to graze. Yellowstone National Park restricts the number of snowmobiles entering the park, and those riding must be accompanied by a guide. The restrictions were created for both safety and better quality tours for visitors by preventing excessive speeding and off trail riding. The tours remain mellow for those whose goal is to enjoy the geothermal features and wildlife in the park. And for those looking for more speed, West Yellowstone national forest area is more geared toward the adventure seekers. Independent exploration and a faster pace are possible, within the same beautiful winter landscape seen within park boundaries.
