Most Wyomingites avoid the National Parks from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The crowds and the traffic turn most summertime trips into a challenge for locals. While many people plan their park trips in September or October to enjoy some warm weather, spending a magnificent winter in Yellowstone is often overlooked.
Visiting Yellowstone National Park during the winter is a completely different experience than the typical summertime trip.
Rivers, lakes, and waterfalls freeze over. Winter storms blanket the park in fresh powder. Roads are only open to oversnow travel. Truly, Yellowstone becomes the world’s greatest winter wonderland.
