During the winter, people flock to locations such as Jackson Hole or the Green Mountains of Vermont to ski and snowboard. Skiers and snowboarders get to enjoy the breathtaking, snow-covered natural landscape while simultaneously getting an adrenaline rush. The other way that people can experience both the adrenaline rush and nature’s beauty, however, is through snowmobiling. Finding a mountain for skiing is generally a relatively easy task, but finding an ideal spot for snowmobiling may be trickier. We’ve got the best locations to plan for an incredible snowmobiling vacation.
For those still debating whether they should try snowmobiling, here’s some basic info about snowmobiling for you to consider.
Now for those looking for a snowmobiling spot to check out, heading out to Yellowstone National Park is a must. Better known for the herds of people looking to watch Old Faithful in the summer, going out to Yellowstone in the winter is equally beautiful. It’ll feel like having the place to yourself — plus, not even the frigid winter Wyoming air will stop Old Faithful from erupting.
For those who are new to snowmobiling, there’s no need to fear, as Yellowstone boasts numerous companies that provide guided snowmobile tours. Exploring the mountains as the snow glistens is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
Once you’re out in Yellowstone National Park, you can make a quick jaunt over to West Yellowstone, Montana for even more snowmobiling. It’s hard to believe that a place can top Yellowstone, but it is actually West Yellowstone that has earned the title of “snowboarding capital of the world.” There are an abundance of trails here for snowmobilers. You can take a spin along the 11o mile Big Sky Trail, follow the Continental Divide Trail down into Wyoming, or travel up into the mountains via the Two Top Trail.
