Winter Yellowstone Tours

Our Winter Yellowstone tours offer a glimpse into the challenges wildlife face during the winter months. Survival involves a constant struggle to meet daily nutritional needs. For wildlife, winter in Yellowstone is undeniably the most demanding season. Bison, in particular, rely heavily on the fat reserves they accumulate during the summer and fall. In summer, male bison can consume up to 70 lbs of food daily. However, in winter, when their food is buried under snow, this amount can drop to 15 lbs per day. If the winter is particularly severe and prolonged, many bison may appear thin by late spring. Winter Yellowstone tours showcase both the beauty and severity of the winter season.
