Winter Is Actually The Best Time Of Year To Visit Wyoming’s World Famous Yellowstone National Park
Most Wyomingites avoid the National Parks from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The crowds and the traffic turn most summertime trips into a challenge for locals. While many people plan their park trips in September or October to enjoy some warm weather, spending a magnificent winter in Yellowstone is often overlooked.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate





Oversnow travel means that the only way to visit the best winter destinations is to join a guided snowmobile or snowcoach tour, or on your own if you're lucky enough to get a non-commercially guided snowmobile lottery. Guided trips are recommended, because you'll have all of the safety gear you need, as well as up-to-date information on snow cover and avalanche conditions.

Traveling on your own means you must be prepared for the wild Wyoming winter conditions. Carry a shovel, safety beacons in case of an avalanche, a map, an extra belt for the snowmobile, tools, first aid supplies, and a winter survival kit that includes extra food and water.
