A Yellowstone Winter Adventure

Many Photos to Come

Participants and Itinerary

 

A message from Dave Dibelius: it's not an official '68 activity.  Nancy and I just decided we wanted to do it and sent out emails to friends we thought might be interested.  Some of us are survivors of the 2019 Grand Canyon and Southwest Adventure so have traveled together before.  The tour is limited to 10 people and the group filled it up right away.

Old Faithful Winter Expedition

The Old Faithful Winter Expedition Lodging & Learning package is designed for those who want to

explore the heart of Yellowstone’s winter wilderness with an expert field educator. The serenity and beauty of Yellowstone in winter is truly one-of-a-kind, and this will provide the setting for discovery, reflection, and fascination. Wildlife, history, ecology, and geology will be incorporated into daily activities, additionally the group will discuss a variety of issues that affect the Greater Yellowstone

Ecosystem. The Yellowstone Forever field educator will lead you through the most scenic and aweinspiring features in the park and share stories behind the rare magic of Yellowstone National Park.

 

This program begins at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, where a field educator will deliver an informative evening orientation. The following three days will be based out of the Old Faithful Snow Lodge. Days will be spent visiting some of Yellowstone National Park’s most iconic interior-based locations, such as the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Old Faithful. The final day of programming will be spent traveling back to Mammoth Hot Springs where participants will spend their final night, before departing the next morning.

 

Most sightings of wildlife occur at a distance; the field educator will provide high-powered spotting scopes and binoculars for group use. However, participants are encouraged to bring additional scopes and binoculars if they have them.
