The only way to access Yellowstone in winter is by way of snowcoach, snowmobile, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing; you need these alternative modes of transportation to get around, but they also make for great recreation vehicles! Your winter vacation in Yellowstone National Park isn't complete without a thrilling and engaging snowcoach tour. We offer several kinds of interpretive tours that can easily be accessed from your hotel.

What is a Snowcoach? Our Gardiner snowcoaches are 15-passenger vans with bench seating, on oversized low-pressure tires. These tires allow our coaches to drive smoothly over the snow, while keeping you higher off the ground for better viewing. Disclaimer: Actual tour buses may differ than what is represented in photographs.
