I've read Yellowstone is so nice in the winter. I'm considering going there in February or early March. Anybody have any suggestions.? Thanks.

no I haven't. I don't even like to go outside to get the paper in the morning and I can't get the dog to do it for me either.

My sis and her hubby did it a few years ago. They had some sort of package deal (not a tour group) that included lodging, car rental, snowmobile self-guided tours, and tours on the Snowcat thing. They loved it, and had a blast.

The snowmobile company rented gear to them, and someone sent them a list of other recommended clothing. Things like a balaclava, layered outerwear, insulated boots, etc. That would be something to research before you go.

I'm going to stay home, keep warm, and watch the Yellowstone webcams.

We did our first winter visit in February of this year. It was amazing! We stayed two nights in the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, then took the snow coach to the Snow Lodge (Old Faithful) and stayed 3 nights there. We did a tour of the lower loop. We have worked 8 summers in the park and were blown away with our winter visit. If you want to go and stay in the park, call NOW for reservations. I made our reservations in August and our choices were somewhat limited. But, by all means, go!

We have been, but with a snowmobile guided trip and stayed in hotels. It is beautiful and not many visitors, and you can see lots of animals.

We went to West Yellowstone a couple years ago over Christmas. Were to take a Sno-Cat into park but there wasn't enough snow so went in tour van. great to see the bison and elk around the thermal areas. Many coyotes.
It was cold but sunny. Very warm in the rig.
Make sure where you are going is open. Reservations for some is necessary.
