Heart of the Winter in Yellowstone

After you enroll, we’ll ask you to provide or update your personal information and preferences, which includes your health information, lodging and meal preferences for your program.

Please bring your Golden Age, Senior, or National Park pass for entry into Yellowstone National Park.

United States citizens don’t need a visa for any of the countries you’ll be visiting. Non-U.S. citizens should refer to their country's requirements to ensure they have the necessary documentation for travel.

Demands of high altitude winter travel are greater than in the summer. Program activities range from easy to moderately challenging. The elevation alone will increase the activity level before you engage in any physical activities. Each day you will enjoy moderate walking to explore some of Yellowstone’s many wonders. Should you have a history of altitude or respiratory difficulties, serious heart problems, or any medical conditions that might be exacerbated by winter stress, take this into consideration before your trip. If you are unable to participate, or choose not to participate, you will miss important information and interpretation. In addition, falling behind during activities can put you at risk of possible wildlife encounters and/or winter exposure dangers. The academic components for this program are provided in the classroom, while traveling throughout the park during field days, and along the trails during outdoor activities.
