If you want to see Yellowstone in the Winter, just fly into Bozeman and
take the Park Services transport. You'll save the difference in off
season rates, usually. Then take the tour on the Artic Snow Cat, nice
and warm inside. Lotsa great mulled wine and spiced cider drinks and
roaring fires in the huge fireplaces. The outdoor hottub, at 20-30
below, in invigorating! Sign up for the hottub telling them you want it
last, at 10PM so you and your better half can enjoy it and the crystal
clear winter sky, without being interrupted in your Zen state. It's all
good. Ric
