Description

Step into the snowy landscapes of Big Sky and Yellowstone on a private winter safari. This full-day adventure combines snowshoeing, wildlife viewing, and a visit to the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, offering a unique way to experience Montana’s wilderness in the colder months.

Your full-day adventure begins in Big Sky, Montana, where your guide will lead you into the scenic Gallatin Canyon and the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. Along the way, keep watch for bighorn sheep on the cliffs, bald eagles in the trees, and moose browsing in the willow stands.

Once you arrive, you’ll strap on snowshoes and set off into the quiet winter landscape. Snowshoeing is suitable for beginners, and your guide will provide all necessary gear. As you move through meadows and forests, your guide will point out wildlife tracks, signs of predators, and unique features of the winter ecosystem. Hot drinks and trail snacks will be provided to keep you warm and energized.

After a morning on the snow, the group will head to West Yellowstone for a hearty meal at a local restaurant. The afternoon is spent at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center, where you’ll see bears, wolves, otters, and other animals up close while learning about their behavior and conservation.

This combination of outdoor adventure and wildlife viewing makes for a memorable day in Montana’s winter wilderness. With an expert naturalist guide and a flexible itinerary tailored to your interests, this private safari is perfect for families, couples, or anyone eager to experience the magic of Yellowstone in winter.
