Make memories that will last forever when you visit Yellowstone National Park in the beautiful and wild winter months. Touring is one of the best activities, visiting all the sights. The geysers seem to spout higher and the steam freezes in unbelievable shapes. Because of the warmth of the springs, plants continue to grow even though temperatures are right around or well below zero. In the winter, animals are drawn to the warmth emanating from the earth, and you can get some great wildlife viewing in. But don't forget to bring the camera for some great shots. Get a fantastic photo of the bison wandering along the roads, and elks feeding or drinking close by. You may spot coyotes or wolves hunting smaller prey and many birds around the water. Besides enjoying the amazing wilderness beauty, there are many other activities. You can go snowmobiling through the white powder, blazing new trails. Snowcoach tours are popular too. If you love skiing, there are ski trails as well as cross-country skiing across some incredible terrain. Winter ranger-led programs are fascinating for the whole family. With so many panoramic views, you must visit Mesa Falls, the headwaters of the Snake River. You can look out over three states and the Grand Tetons. See the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, carved by the Yellowstone River. Snow will cling to the walls in odd patterns. When you see the Lower Falls, you can see how the spray freezes at the bottom, creating a huge cone.
