Best Western Plus by Mammoth Hot Springs (D)

Head to the open, rolling meadows and wide vistas of the Lamar Valley, where grey wolves were first reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995. Using a spotting scope, search among herds of elk and bison for coyotes, eagles, and the elusive wolf. After lunch, we meet a renowned wildlife photographer in his home studio where he shares his experiences shooting for National Geographic.
Continue to Mammoth Hot Springs, and stroll the steaming, travertine terraces outlined in pure white snow.

Travel by private snow coach to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Walk to the rim of the spectacular gorge to see its thundering waterfall and the ice arch that forms from the spray. Then continue to Old Faithful to explore a dramatic landscape of erupting geysers, frozen waterfalls, and gem-coloured mineral pools. Keep an eye out for wildlife—bison, encrusted in ice, often stand in the pools for warmth. After dark, step outside to admire the incredible canopy of stars in one of the world’s best constellation-viewing spots.
