Lodging & Learning

Our award-winning Lodging & Learning packages are developed through a partnership with Yellowstone National Park Lodges. These packages combine the best lodging locations with an exceptional immersive field education experience.

All packages are led by Yellowstone Forever’s naturalist educators who are among the best expert field educators in Yellowstone. You’ll spend your days in the field with a small group experiencing the park, and your nights in one of Yellowstone’s beloved lodges.

This educational option is a favorite for those who want to immerse themselves in the park, but would prefer a private and modern lodging option.

*Now offering special rates for select dates on our Old Faithful Winter Expedition tours!
