Snowmobiling The American West, 2026: Grand Canyon Of The Yellowstone

We wanted to do one more good ride but had to wait out the weekend to get enrolled in Three Bears' Canyon tour on Monday, March 2nd. It was a very good ride, from West to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and back.

Again, something else other blogs won't show you...
a bison patty in the snow in Yellowstone

Another waterfall; after Iguazu, I can hardly remember any of the others' names


Us, there; wherever

Seeing Yellowstone in the winter vastly outweighs seeing it in the
summer; however, sometimes the steam vapor obscures one's vision...

Yellowstone (River) Falls...note especially the snow bridge, formed
entirely from the freezing spray; and the icebergs

Us, there

Looking down from the rim upon the river

The view from Artist's Point, wherefrom Thomas Moran did some of
his most famous western landscapes...

On the 40+ mile ride back, a little-known vent on the road side;
chocolate volcano

Our group

One of the more interesting sights of the day...very loud steam vents
right on the road; the video someday might be posted on my YouTube
channel; probably not; impressive, nonetheless
