Jh dining guide 2013, snowcoach tours.

Exploring Yellowstone National Park in the winter is truly an amazing experience.  The park is primarily accessible via snowcoach or snowmobile. The majesty of Yellowstone awaits. This is one of the most popular winter activities here in Jackson. With diminished crowds during the winter months, the overall park experience is magnified.

In April 1994, the Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee directed that a team from the surrounding forests, parks, and wilderness areas study winter visitor use and associated issues. Through this winter visitor use study agencies gained great insight into visitor and environmental concerns.  A high quality visitor experience is maintained within the park. Resources are protected, the necessary infrastructure and staff are in place to support current levels and types of winter use. The park service regulates the number of snowmobiles and snowcoaches allowed through the various park entrances on a daily basis. The park service also requires outfitters that provide tours to use snowmobiles and snowcoaches the operate with lower emissions, and at quieter noise levels.

Snowcoaches only tour into Yellowstone. There are a number of  snowmobile tour options available which provide wildlife encounters, swimming in hot springs, and/or plenty of off trail riding.

Old Faithful Snowcoach Tour in Yellowstone National Park

Be prepared for an extended day filled with adventure. These guided tours are a unique way to explore any area on snow. These modified vans or tracked machines will carry you over snow through the park. The tour follows the same route as the snowmobile tours. The tours follow the summer roads through the park. After sufficient snowfall the park service grooms these roads for winter use.

Protected from the elements inside the snowcoach, one is left take in the sites and enjoy the ride.

Scenic Safaris , Togwotee Snowmobile Adventures , Wildlife Expeditions

General Information

Pricing for the various trips range from around $250 a person and up. Private tours can be arranged.

Plan on a long day, starting with 6:30am pickup time and returning roughly 12 hours later. Quite a distance is covered and the experience unsurpassed. Breakfast and lunch will be included in the tour.

Dress in warm layers, don’t forget a camera. I would suggest bringing snacks and extra water.

Yellowstone National Park is breathtaking in the snowy, winter months, but is only accessible by vehicles that can traverse the deep, deep snow. If riding a snowmobile doesn’t interest you, but seeing the Wyoming wildlife and majestic scenery does, a snow coach tour is the right option for you. Wildlife Expeditions and Scenic Safaris provide comfortable coach buses  that are outfitted with snow tracks and skis to easily transport your group over snowpacked roads. Spend the day in the comfort of a snow coach and get to see the remote areas of Yellowstone, and get an up-close look at Old Faithful.

  • andrewnS566LN 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Awesome trip in perfect weather Can't recommend our guide enough – Bobby, the Snowmobile Whisperer of Yellowstone! He ain't your grandma's tour guide – Bobby's the snow-slinging, joke-cracking cowboy of the frozen frontier! Imagine blitzing through Yellowstone's winter wonderland, the snow kicking up behind you like a herd of startled bison. With Bobby leading the charge, every snowdrift becomes a speed bump on the road to adventure. Also, his jokes are hotter than Old Faithful and twice as explosive. With him as a guide you'll forget it's colder than a bison's bottom horn out there! So, if you're ready to saddle up and ride with the wildest guide this side of the Rockies, hitch your sled to Bobby's and prepare for the snowstorm of a lifetime. Yeehaw!

  • S1077EEdanielc 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Awesome! So much fun! Our family of 4 (mom, dad, 13-yr son, 15-yr daughter) had a great time riding 2 tandem snowmobiles to Old Faithful. Our guide, Delaney, was so great. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, is a great sled rider, and a great team leader managing the group. It is impossible to do better than her! Our tour was in the middle of a ski week for us at JH on our off-day and was a highlight of the trip. Seeing Yellowstone in the winter is an incredible experience. On our day, it snowed in the morning and the sun came out in the afternoon, so we had the best of both worlds weather-wise. This will be a memorable experience for the whole family.

  • Jn627 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great experience! Overall it was great experience. My wife and I both rode our own snowmobiles and yes like most it was our first time. We went on a snowy windy day and visibility was not the best. We did stop to see some waterfalls and of course Old Faithful which did not disappoint. There is a push to keep going but when we arrived at Old Faithful we only had about 10 minutes before it erupted, so had we not hurried chances are we would have missed it. My wife loved it! Unfortunately we did not see any wildlife on this trip. Read more Written March 2, 2024
  • Mcccurry 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Incredible Fun & Beauty Brett was our guide for the winter Yellowstone tour, and within minutes, we agreed this was Brett’s life calling! He was the best, most informative, most knowledgeable guide we’ve ever had on any adventure! His smiling, pleasant demeanor was infectious to the entire group, and we all had the best time! The snowmobiling alone was a blast, but the places we stopped, & the beauty of the landscape, and the wildlife was everything we imagined that the tour would be and more! Highly recommend if you are in Jackson Hole, to make a Scenic Safari tour a MUST DO … & definitely request Brett as your guide, (though I also heard from other groups how much fun their guide was as well)! Seems to be a great company, with skilled & happy guides!! We will definitely be booking a summer tour with them next!! Read more Written March 2, 2024

  • F5080XMelizabetht 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles NOT FOR BEGINNERS, NOT WORTH THE PRICE Disappointing experience. If you want a fun day to see the beauty of Yellowstone and at the same time do a bucket list experience and ride a snowmobile, this is not the tour for you. Was looking forward to this tour most of all on our trip to WY and this ended up being our least favorite. Other couples we met went with another tour provider and they had a wonderful experience. Our day on this tour was high stress, fast paced and high speed. Not a tour for beginners, even though 95% of our group had never been on a snowmobile before. Guide was bad at managing time and we were forced to race back at max speed. Most couples had plans to change drivers for the way back so all could have the experience, but we were told that we could not do that due to the time and the more experienced drivers had to stay in place as we needed to go fast to get back. Driver a few sleds in front of me was going too slowly and the guide kept coming back to tell them to “go faster” and “close the gap, we had to get back” Safety didn’t seem to be the concern for the guide, this driver was obviously intimidated by the conditions and I’m glad they ignored the guide and went at the speed where they felt safe (which was still over 35mph BTW). Missed so much beauty in the park because I had to keep eyes in front of me. Ride was scary at times for most and by the end my group was just glad it was over and nobody got hurt. If you want to race a snowmobile and don’t care where you are, you will enjoy this tour. If you really want to enjoy Yellowstone and have time to take in all the beauty, consider a coach tour. 0 star for the snowmobile aspect and 5 stars for what I did get to see of Yellowstone, the park in the winter is breathtaking. I will do a snowmobile tour again, just not here with this tour company. Read more Written February 26, 2024
  • PammyP_ATL 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Amazing experience on the full day Old Faithful snowmobile tour. I can not say enough good things about Scenic Safaris! There was amazing communication throughout, answering multiple email questions and reminders before the trip and then an app to watch your pickup driver day of tour. My guide, Athena was amazing! Her ultimate goal was making sure we had a safe and amazing day. It was my first time on a snowmobile and she knew exactly how to coach me to give me confidence. The scenery and experience was amazing. It's a must do!! Read more Written February 26, 2024

  • Stay49584926103 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not for Wildlife Viewing/As Advertised I wanted to love this and so I will start with the positive first. Our guide, Scarlett, was AMAZING. She was knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. Any issues we had with this experience were completely unrelated to her. Now the downside. We woke up at 5am and be ready for pickup at our hotel at 6am. The shuttle did not arrive until after 7am and we only found out how late it was running after about 40 minutes sitting in our hotel lobby. We could have slept, ate breakfast, etc had we known. By the time we did the other hotel pickups and drove to the site, we did not start on the snowmobiles until after 9am. This is not a long experience. It was not even 8 hours total actually snowmobiling. Second, there was no widelife which is advertised on the website and our primary reason for booking. I know no one can control nature but it seemed the guides knew there would be nothing as they talked about rarely, if ever, seeing anything. Very disappointing. Finally, everything was rush, rush, rush. Each stop was quick and there was no time to explore. This would have been especially enjoyable at our lunch stop at Old Faithful. We did get to see Old Faithful erupt which was the highlight of this trip but no extra time to walk the boardwalks and hardly anytime to stop into gift shop. Overall, I recommend booking this only if you want to see Old Faithful in the winter as it is one of just a few avenues to visit with park restrictions. Even if you LOVE snowmobiling, I would not recommend as you will be in a group with beginners and only be able to travel at the rate of your slowest driver. We read reviews and the website and got the impression we were experiencing something entirely different. Not worth the money by any means. Not a fan of leaving less than positive reviews but I hope this helps others before deciding to spend this amount of money and taking a day out of their vacation. PS- I do not recommend this for children at all. As a grownup who loves experiencing nature, even I was bored. PPS- Scarlett was great so if you do book this, I would ask for her as a guide.

Take a Snowcoach Through Yellowstone in the Winter

One of the two ways to explore yellowstone in the winter is by snowcoach. this is everything you need to know..

When snow blankets Yellowstone National Park, there’s only two ways to get into the heart of the park: by snowmobile or snowcoach.

In early November each year Yellowstone closes all but one road to normal vehicle traffic. As the snow begins to fly and cover our first national park, a different sort of vehicle gets ready to transport visitors through a winter wonderland. A snowcoach is a shuttle van either on extra large (picture a monster truck) tires or tracks like a snowmobile. These specially designed vehicles are perfect for navigating the park’s unplowed roads and, other than snowmobiles, are the only way to access the interior of the park in the winter. With big picture windows, you’ll be able to see all the sights from the park’s abundant winter wildlife to steaming geysers.

Snowcoaches are a great way to see the park since you’ll stay warm and cozy inside the vehicle, unlike a snowmobile tour where you’ll have to bundle up. Your driver will also be able to share fun facts about the park and easily point out wildlife as you drive. Tours range from half-day scenic drives to full-day excursions to packages where you’ll do both a scenic drive and ski or snowshoe in the park.

A snowcoach is also the only transportation to Old Faithful Snow Lodge , the park’s only hotel other than Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel , open in the winter (note: Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel will be closed winter 2022/23). A stay in the heart of the park in winter is magical. From spending the day skiing or snowshoeing past geysers to curling up next to the fire with a book to ice skating under the stars, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Yellowstone Snowcoach Options

West entrance tours.

Located in West Yellowstone, Mont. , the park’s West Entrance is closed to normal vehicles in the winter months, but is known as the “Snowmobiling Capital of the World.” You can take a guided snowmobile tour in the park from West Yellowstone, but you can also depart on a day tour from this town to see the park from the comfort of a snowcoach. These tour operators offer day trips into the park, usually to either Old Faithful or Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone :

See Yellowstone – seeyellowstone.com

Backcountry Adventures – backcountry-adventures.com

Yellowstone Vacations – www.yellowstonevacations.com

Yellowstone Expeditions (Ski camping tours) – yellowstoneexpeditions.com

South Entrance Tours

Yellowstone’s South Entrance is located closest to Jackson, Wyo. , a famous winter ski destination thanks to Jackson Hole Resort. Nearby Grand Teton National Park is also home to lots of winter fun including snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. From Jackson, you can head north with one of these tour operators to spend the day seeing Yellowstone by snowcoach, or be dropped off at Old Faithful Snow Lodge for a stay:

Scenic Safaris – www.scenic-safaris.com

North Entrance Tours and Transportation to Old Faithful Snow Lodge

The North Entrance, just outside of Gardiner, Mont. , is where you’ll find the only year-round road open to normal vehicles through the park. In winter, you can drive plowed roads to the Mammoth Hot Springs area and through Lamar Valley to the Northeast Entrance where the tiny Montana towns of Silver Gate and Cooke City await. You can also book a snowcoach day tour into the park, or transportation to the only hotel inside the park besides Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel that offers winter lodging: Old Faithful Snow Lodge.

How Far in Advance Do I Need to Book a Snowcoach Tour?

If you’re using a snowcoach as transportation to the Snow Lodge, it’s best to book your ride as soon as you book your stay since there is only one company at the North Entrance and one company at the South Entrance that offers transportation.

Day tours are more flexible since there are more operators, but it’s best to book as far in advance as possible in order to ensure you get a seat. Last minute reservations may be available, but don’t count on them.

How Much Are Yellowstone Snowcoach Tours?

Yellowstone snowcoach tours range in price depending on which company and tour you choose. In Winter 2022/23 half-day scenic snowcoach tours could be found for less than $100 for adults and less than $50 for children. Transportation, including two pieces of luggage, between Mammoth and Old Faithful Snow Lodge cost $144 for adults and $72 for children each way for the 2022/23 season. While tipping is not required, it’s expected. Be prepared to tip your driver 15-20% in cash.

Be sure to note whether or not your snowcoach operator includes your park pass in your tour price. If they do not, you’ll need to purchase a pass in advance. On guided tours, a 7-day, annual or lifetime pass is only good for one person, so be sure to have a pass for each individual in your group. These passes cost $20 in 2022/23 for adults 16 and over. Children 15 and under are free.

What Do You Wear on a Snowcoach Tour?

While snowcoaches are heated, it’s important to be properly dressed for winter conditions as you’ll be entering and exiting the snowcoach in snowy and cold weather and will likely get out and explore at certain stops along the way.

Dress in layers so that you can be comfortable on the drive but quickly gear up to get out in the cold. A waterproof and insulated jacket, a warm hat, warm gloves and snow boots or other waterproof boots with good tread are recommended. Wool or synthetic fabrics are better than cotton for winter trips as they wick away moisture more quickly.
