like coyotes and bald eagles. Wolves, usually invisible in the summer months, are easy to spot in the winter landscapes. Visit Cooke City, once a mining camp in the foothills beside the Snake River. This evening, perhaps attend a ranger lecture, or take a turn on the ice skating rink under magnificent stars. Meals BD


4. GEOTHERMAL PHENOMENA Yellowstone is a hotbed of geothermal spectacles. A pilgrimage to the most famous geothermal wonder, Old Faithful, includes stops at Gibbon Falls and the aptly named Fountain Paint Pots, oozing pools of reds, yellows, and browns. Arrive at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge... warm up, settle in, then walk outside to witness the eruption (on average every 94 minutes) with no crowds between you and the legendary clockwork geyser... Meals BLD


5. INSIDE & OUTSIDE YELLOWSTONE Spend the day as you wish. Explore the Upper Geyser Basin at your leisure... or take a guided tour. Rent cross-country skis to cover more ground, or take a snowshoe stroll off-trail or 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 West Thumb Geyser Basin, and the Mud Volcano. Weather permitting, discover the sub-alpine Hayden Valley, a surreal winter landscape alive with trumpeter swans, bison, elk, and moose... And then the canyon itself, surrounding a river nearly a mile wide plunging 1,200 feet with two torrential waterfalls. Meals BLD


7. THE TETONS & AN ELK REFUGE Board your snow vehicle once again as you travel through Yellowstone via Kepler Falls and West Thumb Geyser Basin to Flagg Ranch and on to Jackson. Visit the Grand Teton National Park Visitor Center, then a horse-drawn sleigh takes you to the National Elk Refuge, a sanctuary where congregations


of elk weather the harsh winter en masse; learn how conservation efforts strive to keep remaining herds alive. Return 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, then spend the afternoon at leisure. Your special farewell reception and dinner is at The National Museum of Wildlife Art, whose galleries celebrate Western wildlife. 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
