National Park Winter Serenity from Bozeman to Jackson
Of course there's value in sharing. But having Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks all to ourselves seems pretty sweet. The sight of bison lumbering across the icy landscape. Otters fishing in semi-frozen streams. Maybe even a glimpse of a cautious gray wolf. A winter wonderland of epic proportions. We can't wait to share it with you.
Highlights
- Snowshoe in two of the nation's most iconic national parks, soaking up the quiet and peacefulness of these landscapes in winter
- Adventure to Upper Geyser Basin, home to an extraordinary concentration of colorful geothermal features
- Behold Yellowstone's famous steaming fumaroles and bubbling mud pots—magic against the snow-brightened landscape
- Marvel at the magnificent snowcapped peaks of the Teton Range, whose grandeur is at its best this time of year

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
On this trip we stay at Old Faithful Snow Lodge. While this accommodation reflects the natural surroundings of the national parks and provides unparalleled access to the best activities in the area, it is simpler than is typical of Backroads lodging. The lodge has basic guest rooms that are not equipped with televisions. Please note that internet and cell phone service are extremely limited throughout the parks.
