many of them even more spectacular than the one on your doorstep. Take a snowmobile for a spin. Or there is always a quiet day cozying up in the rustic comforts of the lodge... As night falls, a special Ken Burns video illuminates the world outside. Meals BD
6. YELLOWSTONE’S GRAND CANYON The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is considered the soul of the park, deep in its interior, and you arrive there by snowcoach, over roadless terrain. En route, visit Kepler Falls, West Thumb Geyser Basin, and the Mud Volcano. Weather permitting, discover the sub-alpine Hayden Valley, straddling the Yellowstone River; once a vast lake bed, now a surreal winter landscape alive with trumpeter swans, bison, elk, and moose... And then the Canyon itself – a fantasy landscape with a deep gorge blown open by an ancient volcanic eruption, then carved by glaciers and the river itself, nearly a mile wide and plunging 1,200 feet with two torrential waterfalls, each with an arc of spume-made ice and crystalline forests up and down the steep banks. Members of an expedition in 1870 who first happened upon the canyon stood speechless on its rim for a full five minutes... silent... And they didn’t see it in winter. Meals BLD
7. THE TETONS AND THE NATIONAL ELK REFUGE The ice on Yellowstone Lake can freeze three feet thick, yet where the edges meet the warmth of boiling springs, there are patches of open water where otters frolic and catch fish – and coyotes try to steal them. Wintering eagles wing above the lake and river. Leave your snow vehicle behind for travels to Jackson. Take in a discussion at Murie Ranch, a center in partnership with Grand Teton National Park, dedicated to conservation and wildlife biology... then apply what you’ve learned to a wildlife encounter of your own... A horse-drawn
sleigh takes you to the heart of the National Elk Refuge on the outskirts of Jackson, a sanctuary where vast congregations of elk weather the harsh winter en masse. Learn how conservation efforts over decades have strived to keep the remaining herds alive. Return from the tundra to your historic hotel in the heart of Jackson. Meals BL
8. A DAY IN JACKSON HOLE
Snowshoe your way along trails through Jackson Hole with local naturalist guides, on the lookout for moose and signs of predators, then spend the afternoon at leisure. Your special farewell reception and dinner tonight is at The National Museum of Wildlife Art, whose galleries celebrate Western wildlife, from ancient art to contemporary masters, images and objects that illuminate the natural world and humanity’s place in it. That would include you. Meals BD
9. JOURNEY HOME Tour ends: Jackson. Fly home anytime. A transfer is included from The Wort Hotel to Jackson Hole Airport; you should allow two hours for flight check-in. Meals B
