December 18, 2014 thru March 1, 2015

Officials in Yellowstone National Park have determined new winter use limits for the 2014-2015 season. The new plan continues guided snowmobile and snowcoach tours in the park. Winter Season 2014/2015 will run between December 18, 2014 and March 1, 2015. The park is accessible as it has ever been during the Winter months. Book early as these trips are quite popular especially during peak periods of visitation. An experience not to be missed. Prepare for a long day filled with adventure.

The park service has also allows unguided individuals back into the park during the winter season. It has been years since private individuals have been allowed to explore the park on their own during the winter months. One group of up to five persons may be permitted into the park each day.  These numbers could grow as technological advances continue to allow vehicles to run cleaner and quieter. It seems as though this decision reflects the park’s desire to provide the public with desired uses in a sustainable way.

The Hole Concierge believes this decision is a step in the right direction. Greener technology has made vehicles, snowmobiles in particular, much cleaner and quieter than in the mid 90’s when studies regarding winter use and the future of snowmobiling in particular were strongly examined. Exploring Yellowstone in the winter is a magical experience. There are a very small number of people exploring the park each day in comparison to the  summer months.

I would be happy to help you coordinate your adventure into the world’s first national park.
