. (Thu.) Welcome to the “Wild West” town of Jackson, Wyoming. At 6 pm, meet with your traveling companions for a welcome drink. Your Tour Director will prepare you for your upcoming adventure.
. (Fri.) Begin your day with an included SLEIGH RIDE in Jackson’s National Elk Refuge. Here, as many as 10,000 elk congregate each winter. On occasion, we may be lucky enough to see wolves, eagles, trumpeter swans, and coyotes as well. We then depart for an escorted tour of GRAND TETON and YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARKS, where some of the majestic peaks ascend above 13,000 feet. At Flag Ranch, board a Bombardier SnoCoach and begin the journey through Yellowstone National Park. Highlights include West Thumb Geyser Basin, Lake Yellowstone, the Continental Divide, and Shoshone Point Overlook. Your journey ends at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge for a relaxing 2-night stay. (B,D)
. (Sat.) Wake up this morning to the crisp air of Yellowstone in the winter. After breakfast, enjoy a guided WALKING TOUR of the Upper Geyser Basin, the greatest geothermal basin on earth. Here you will view Old Faithful, along with many other geysers in the eruptive state. The remainder of the day is at leisure. Why not participate in a snowshoe excursion or cross-country skiing? Later, relax with a warm drink by the crackling fire. (B,D)
. (Sun.) Travel by Snocoach today to Mammoth Hot Springs. We’ll make stops to see the famous Fountain Paint Pots as well as Gibbon Falls. At the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone we’ll have our box lunches in a warming hut before proceeding to Upper Falls and thundering Lower Falls, which are nearly twice the height of Niagara. Have your cameras ready, as winter is the perfect time to spot animals such as bison, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, deer, and coyote. We overnight at Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, where you can enjoy evening talks, ice skating, and outdoor hot tubs. (B,L,D)
. (Mon.) This morning, join our excursion to LAMAR VALLEY. This magical place is known to the locals as the Serengeti of Yellowstone, the perfect place for spotting wildlife—especially the gray wolf. We journey to Bozeman before heading south to West Yellowstone, Montana. With your free time this afternoon, why not visit the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center to learn about and gain a better appreciation of the grizzly bear and gray wolf? (B)
. (Tue.) After breakfast, board your motorcoach for a journey through Idaho and Utah. On the western side of the Tetons are breathtaking views of the highest peak on the range: Grand Teton itself, which rises to an elevation of 13,777 feet above sea level. Tonight, celebrate your journey with a festive farewell dinner at a local restaurant. (B,D)
. (Wed.) After a leisurely breakfast, bid farewell to newfound friends as your vacation comes to an end with an included transfer to the airport. (B)
