Snowmobile -Freedom Of MovementThese experiences may sound like something out of a fairy tale but the reality is that they occur daily in northwestern Wyoming. Whether your delight is riding hard through off-trail areas around Jackson Hole or cruising the groomers through beautiful Yellowstone Park, snowmobiling can bring exhilaration and excitement that is sure to cure your cabin fever.
Off-trail snowmobiling is a wonderful way to get yourself outside and active during the winter months and snowmobile vacations . The beneficial aspect about the sport is that you have freedom to go just about wherever you want providing you are in the National Forest limits or any area designated for snowmobiling. The season typically starts around the second week of December and lasts until the middle of April. For die-hards, the snowmobile season can last until the middle of May. As fun as snowmobiling is, off-trail riding is not recommended for novices due to the skilled maneuvering needed to drive the snowmobile. Riding groomed trails and getting the feel for the sport on packed areas is strongly recommended for people starting out and only when you feel comfortable riding trails should you then attempt to go "off-trail."
But once you are ready to head off trail, another benefit of northwest Wyoming, especially around Jackson Hole, is that hundreds and hundreds of miles of prime terrain are easily accessible just minutes from town. Some famous areas to ride around Jackson include Togwotee (45 min. N of Jackson) which has world-famous expert powder terrain, Gros Ventre (40 min. NE of Jackson) which is the place to be to photograph wildlife, and Granite Hot Springs (35 min. S of Jackson ) which is a great area for a day trip and fun trails. These areas can provide endless hours of fun exploration.
West Yellowstone is the snowmobile capital of the world due to its extensive trail systems and proximity to Yellowstone National Park. Enjoy Yellowstone Park and hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming by snowmobile. You will experience a "winter wonderland" of un-paralleled beauty. Yellowstone and the surrounding area are comprised of many geologic and geothermal wonders such as the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Old Faithful. In addition, there is a wide variety of wildlife including Bald Eagles, Bison, Wolves, Elk, Swans and much more. You will see these animals and other natural wonders up close when riding our snowmobiles into and around Yellowstone Park.
