the event


Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Yellowstone’s wintertime world on our 8-day Ken Burns Event, crafted by Tauck and filmmakers Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan – creators of The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. Limited to 210 guests, the event features opportunities to meet them at a keynote address by Ken Burns and an evening talk by Dayton Duncan. You’ll have unique access to Yellowstone like never before with guided exploration by snowcoach to remote areas of the park to see geothermal features “ten times more spectacular in winter”; remarkable wildlife viewing; and stays at inside-the-park lodges open to only a few hundred visitors in winter.
