Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Welcome to Bozeman

    Arrive in Bozeman, a historic Montana town shaped by rail routes, ranching traditions and its setting at the edge of the Rocky Mountains. Meet your Travel Director and fellow small group travellers and settle in before gathering for dinner. Share introductions over a relaxed meal and begin your winter journey focused on Yellowstone’s snow-covered landscapes.

  2. 2

    Arrive in Yellowstone National Park

    Travel south to Gardiner, set along the Yellowstone River beneath snow-covered hills at the park’s northern edge. Join a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience with Yellowstone Forever, focused on how wildlife adapts to winter conditions across the park. Continue to Mammoth, passing steaming terraces and open ground shaped by geothermal heat, before travelling into the wide valley floors of Lamar Valley. Here, an Insightful Encounter brings focus to winter wildlife and the landscape reshaped by the return of wolves. Later, travel on to your hotel for the evening.

  3. 3

    Snow Coach Touring in Yellowstone National Park

    Spend a full day travelling through Yellowstone by snow coach, using winter routes closed to regular traffic. You’ll move through quiet forest corridors and broad plateaus towards the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where the river cuts through ice-lined rock. As the day continues, watch for bison moving across snowy meadows, elk along timber edges and coyotes crossing open ground. Travel on to the Upper Geyser Basin to see Old Faithful erupt into the cold air, then explore the surrounding boardwalks before checking into your lodge for the night.

  4. 4

    Old Faithful and Winter Leisure in Yellowstone

    Explore around Old Faithful with Insight Choice. You could explore the geyser basin on snowshoes, follow groomed trails on cross-country skis, or remain indoors with your Travel Director, warming up by the fire with hot chocolate. Your afternoon and evening are free to enjoy Yellowstone in winter. You could head out for ice skating, take a short walk near the lodge, settle in with a camera as the light changes, or step outside after dark when clear skies bring out the stars.

  5. 5

    Yellowstone’s Northern Range

    Spend the morning travelling by snow coach through Yellowstone, moving through thermal ground and open winter landscapes. You’ll pass Norris Geyser Basin, one of the park’s most active geothermal areas, and stop at the Madison Junction Warming Station before continuing through the surrounding thermal basin. Around midday, arrive at Mammoth Hot Springs, where time is set aside for lunch at leisure. In the afternoon, depart the park and travel back to Bozeman. This evening, come together with your small group and Travel Director for a final dinner, marking the the final night of your winter journey through Yellowstone.

  6. 6

    Depart at Leisure

    After breakfast, say goodbye to your Travel Director and fellow small-group travellers. Depart Bozeman at leisure, bringing your winter journey through Yellowstone to a close.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
