Snowmobiling in Yellowstone National Park

Snowmobiling in Yellowstone National Park

I picked Goose Wing because they offered smaller tour groups - but I wouldn't use them again. Their snowmobiles are definitely the oldest of any of the suppliers - and on the return - we couldn't stop because the guide was terrified that one of the machines would never start again. Made for a long, hard ride. And 100 miles on a snowmobile in a day is a lot - don't let anyone fool you on that score. However, the tour is pretty cool. We saw Bison everywhere - and 5 wolves! The pack we saw is one of the newest groups - and we didn't just spot them - they ran across the trail, then played together for at least 30 or 40 minutes down near the river. Really neat. We also saw a coyote, swans, and either an otter or a beaver - tad far away to tell. The trees were lovely - the grand canyon very special, and there was some lovely vistas - too bad we were in such a hurry that we couldn't stop to take pictures. If I go again (and I will) - I would skip the snowmobile tour and go for one of the photo tour options - less bumping around on a noisy machine - and more time to see the animals.

It’s just like surfing on a Christmas cake. This is the only way to see Yellowstone in the winter. You are provided with appropriate clothing, a helmet, and a snowmobile, as well as two or three guides. After breakfast in Jackson (not great, but at 6am, who cares!) and a 90-minute van ride to the park, you climb aboard the snowmobile and head off. We managed to see bison, a wolf, elk, moose, and coyotes, as well as Old Faithful. Lunch wasn't great, but the day was so fantastic, it really didn’t matter.

Tip: Share one mobile between the two of you - that way you get to enjoy the views, as well as have a turn at driving.

The best activity ever!

If you do anything in Jackson Hole, go snowmobiling. The best tour guide is Leisure Sport Adventures in Jackson Hole. Brian and Jen, the owners, will pick you up at your resort and take you to the rental shop to suit you up for the big ride and then drive you out to your snowmobile adventure spot. (I recommend Granite Hot Springs where you ride 20 miles up into the Grovant Mountian range and then slip into your bathing suit and slip into the 110°F waters of the granite hot springs – heavenly.) Then they guide you safely through your adventure, sometimes even off the beaten path. You'll pass by other adventurers, such as the dog sledders, which we didn't do, but it looked like they were having such a nice time. Leisure Sports Adventures has the best prices and the friendliest, warmest, most accommodating business people you'll come in contact with.
