Make the most of your winter trip to Yellowstone with a Yellowstone Day Adventure led by one of our Yellowstone Forever Field Educators.
As the official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone Forever is committed to making meaningful, educational experiences in the park accessible. Yellowstone Day Adventures are intentionally priced to reduce barriers to participation.
These educator‑led winter wildlife watching tours immerse participants in Yellowstone’s snowy landscapes, revealing the stories behind the park’s remarkable winter ecology, wildlife adaptations, and iconic geothermal features. Tours are offered most Fridays from 12/19/2025 – 2/27/2026. Each tour departs from the Yellowstone Forever Headquarters in Gardiner, MT, with an additional pickup available at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel on our way into the park. Please select your preferred meeting location when booking.
