How much does it cost?

From $1,119 per person, the operator's advertised from-price, read on its own page on 12 Sept 2026. About $1,119 at ECB reference rates. Departures, room types and dates can price differently; the operator's page is the final word.

Is the train travel included?

No. Rail is explicitly listed as not included in the priced package; the trip covers transfers, hotel nights, and a park tour.

When does this trip run?

It's built around winter travel, November through March, when the operator says Yellowstone has far fewer visitors than peak season.

4 nights of hotel accommodations, a roundtrip transfer between Salt Lake City and West Yellowstone, and a sightseeing tour of the park.

The named highlights are wildlife spotting, including wolves in Lamar Valley, and the winter contrast between steaming geysers, hot springs, and snow-covered ground.

Rail content not confirmed

Not counted among our train tours: the operator says the listed price excludes rail and quotes it separately; no train journey in the package itself. It stays listed under Amtrak Vacations.

Amtrak Vacations

Yellowstone in the Winter

Off-season 5-day Yellowstone trip from Salt Lake City for winter wildlife

Amtrak Vacations built Yellowstone in the Winter around the quieter months at Yellowstone National Park, running November through March. The 5-day, 4-night trip starts in Salt Lake City and ends inside the park at West Yellowstone, with a roundtrip transfer covering the drive between the two. Once in the park, an included sightseeing tour, the Old Faithful Explorer Tour in winter months, takes travelers past the geothermal features that the operator says stand out most starkly against snow and ice. The highlights named are wildlife spotting, including wolves in Lamar Valley, and the low winter crowds compared to peak season.
