    Sit back and relax, while letting someone else do the driving. While touring on the historic 1937 touring buses, you will not only enjoy the views, but you will also find interesting narrated trips, where you will hear stories about the past in Yellowstone. You may purchase tickets for All Day Tours, Partial Day tours, or Evening Tours. One evening tour is the Yellowstone Lake Butte Sunset Tour, which will give you beautiful views from the Lake Butte Overlook as well as other scenic views. The park concessionaire, out of Yellowstone Lake Hotel and Fishing Bridge RV Park, operates this tour. There are also Evening Wildlife Tours and others that depart from Mammoth Hotel, as well as other evening tours that originate from Old Faithful Inn. There are various types of Partial Day and All Day Tours offered departing form Lake Hotel, Fishing Bridge RV Park, Old Faithful Inn, Mammoth Hotel, Canyon Lodge, Roosevelt Lodge, and Grant Village. Some of these tours operate daily, others only a few times a week. There are also varying operating dates, some begin at the end of May, but most begin sometime in June. Some end in late August, while others run into mid- September. If you would be interested in one of these tours, visit the web page listed below, choose Plan Your Trip, then Available Activities, then Historic Yellow Bus Tours. Here you can read a short description of each tour, and get additional information. I highly recommend that you make reservations ahead of time. This can be done at the same web page or by calling the phone number listed below.

    Bus Tours: A Day Out By Snowcoach

    As I have said earlier on this page, the only way to get around Yellowstone in the winter is by oversnow transport and taking a snowcoach tour is an ideal method of doing so.

    There are a wide variety of operators to chose from, all of whom offer pretty much the same deal, and all the hotels have their own preffered service which can usually be booked through the desk.

    A typical tour will include being picked up from your hotel about 8.30 am then driven through the park to either Mammoth Springs or Old Faithful, with stop-offs for photo-ops en-route, aiming to arrive at the destination around lunch-time. You should have time for a leisurley lunch and then return via a slightly different route, expecting to be back early evening - about 4.30.

    Website below gives all the info you need, go to the bottom of it for a full list of the various operators.

    As a rough price guide expect to pay about $85-95 for the tour (this will include a $10 NPS entrance fee, though if you are already a pass holder this will be deducted from the cost) and tip for the guide will always be appreciated - say another $10.

    We did not take any of these bus tours, but A lot of other people did. Just Wanted to let you know they are available. They take people to the major sight seeing spots in the park.

  • This company does a two day tour from Billings, MT to and through Yellowstone National Park. For those who don't want to have to rent a car or drive themselves, this is a good way to go. There are several meals included in the package as well as lodging.
