Magic of Winter in Yellowstone

DAY 3: OLD FAITHFUL

Journey into Yellowstone National Park aboard a private, heated snowcoach guided by our local expert. Closed to normal vehicles, this is the only way to see Yellowstone cloaked in its winter beauty.

After a day exploring the snowy wilderness in comfort, return to West Yellowstone for dinner. B, L, D

DAY 6: LAMAR VALLEY

The grand adventure begins as a naturalist guides us into the magical Lamar Valley, where bison, elk, and pronghorn graze in the territories of the Park’s favorite predator — gray wolves.

After a morning on safari, enjoy lunch at the historic Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and a stroll along the area’s colorful thermal features before returning to Gardiner. B, L

Sunrise Shuttle drivers appreciate gratuities (suggest $5 per person) for excellent service as well. Our staff will not solicit gratuities or pass out envelopes.

From a departure city not listed, typical airfare will be +$100 higher than our published fare for domestic tours, and +$200 for international tours.

Preferred seating may not be available on group air. In some cases, seats are not assigned until the airport. Your tour fare includes an economy seat on the flight; it does not include seat selection. Seat upgrades may be available at an additional cost.

To help make our tours the most comfortable in the business, we limit Sunrise Tours motorcoaches to 80% capacity, or 44 passengers on a coach built for 55. We reserve the right to amend this practice.

Your Tour Director will rotate seats on the motorcoach each day of your tour. A single fare does not guarantee two seats on coach; you may be seated next to another friendly Sunrise Tours guest.
