On the Grand Canyon Snowmobile Tour, guests have the opportunity to visit the biggest waterfall in Yellowstone, also known as the Lower Falls, which has a drop of 308 feet. This incredible natural wonder was originally made famous by renowned artists Thomas Moran and Ansel Adams. The magnificent animals of Yellowstone commonly migrate to the lower valleys for food and shelter during the winter seasons, making it easier for visitors to spot these beautiful creatures.
Grand Canyon Snowmobile Tour – Full Day Details
The Grand Canyon Snowmobile Tour starts bright and early between 6:00am-7:00am to give visitors the most time possible on tour. The first stop along the way is for a hearty breakfast at Flagg Ranch.
With a full day of touring, this trip is perfect for those looking for an exciting adventure that covers some of the most scenic locations in Yellowstone, including the beautiful shores of Yellowstone Lake.
Snowmobiles in Yellowstone are under strict environmental regulations. To meet these regulations, the snowmobiles used are 2017 or 2018 Ski Doo 4-stroke machines, which are environmentally friendly. Snowmobile drivers must have prior snowmobiling experience, and a valid driver’s license.
The time spent driving the snowmobile is approximately 6 to 7 hours, 130 miles roundtrip, in potentially subzero weather, so physical stamina is an important prerequisite to participate on this tour. Children passengers must be at least 10 years old, although 12 or older is preferred. For younger guests or guests with less stamina, the snowcoach tours to the Grand Canyon are a good alternative!
