Your Guide to Snowcoach Tours in and around Jackson Hole
Exploring Yellowstone National Park in the winter is truly an amazing experinece 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 the winter visitor use study the agencies hope to ensure that high quality visitor experiences are maintained within the park, resources are protected, the necessary infrastructure and staff are in place to support acceptable levels and types of winter use. As a result of this survey the park service is currently limiting the number of snowmobiles and snowcoaches allowed through the various park entrances on a daily basis. The park service is also requiring outfitters that provide tours to use snowmobiles with lower emissions, and operate at quieter noise levels. Winter use is still under review and the exact future of winter visitation in Yellowstone National Park still remains uncertain. Take advantage of this opportunity before it is potentially lost.Snowcoaches only tour into Yellowstone, however, there are a number of other snowmobile tour options available which also provide wildlife encounters, swimming in hot springs, and/or plenty of off trail riding.
