GLOBUS: YELLOWSTONE WINTER WONDERLAND (AW)
7 days from Jackson to Jackson
The only thing more impressive than Yellowstone in the summertime is Yellowstone in winter! Begin this spectacular escorted tour with a sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge in Jackson, Wyoming, where as many as 10,000 elk congregate each winter-prime territory for wolves, eagles, and coyotes! Next, tour beautiful Grand Teton National Park before boarding a Bombardier Snocoach and entering Yellowstone National Park. Enjoy a guided walking tour of Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin, the greatest geothermal basin on earth and home to Old Faithful. Continue via Snocoach to Mammoth Hot Springs, stopping along the way to see the famed Fountain Paint Pots and Gibbons Falls. View the thundering Upper and Lower Falls, which are nearly twice the height of Niagara, and keep your camera ready for bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, coyote, and gray wolves. Journey to Lamar Valley, known to the locals as the Serengeti of Yellowstone because of the wildlife that can be spotted here. Head to West Yellowstone, Montana, then motor through the western flanks of the Teton Range with views of the highest peak in the range-Grand Teton itself! Return to Jackson for free time and an overnight, the perfect end to a grand Yellowstone winter vacation!
