December 25, 2006

Yellowstone National Park opened for the winter season Wednesday morning, December 20th.

Visitors can take commercially guided snowcoach or snowmobile trips over snow covered, groomed roads to popular destinations including Old Faithful and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. This is the third year the park will operate under temporary regulations which include the use of cleaner, quieter snowmobiles, daily entrance limits, and all-guided access.

The road from the park’s North Entrance at Gardiner, Montana, to the Northeast Entrance at Cooke City, Montana, is open all year to automobile traffic.

Xanterra Parks and Resorts provides lodging, food service, cross-country ski rentals and lessons, snowmobile rentals and snowcoach tours of the park. Details are available online at
