Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone sits roughly an hour and a half north of the ranch, and it rewards a full day however you visit. In winter, the park’s interior roads close to regular traffic — the only way in is by snowcoach or snowmobile, gliding over groomed snowpack past geyser basins wreathed in steam and wildlife moving through snow-covered meadows. In summer, the same roads open to a park in full color: geysers on their own schedules, canyons and waterfalls carved into the landscape, and valleys where bison, elk, and the occasional wolf pack are part of the daily view.
