Following a hearty breakfast in Flagg Ranch, we will transfer from a wheeled vehicle to our custom Mercedes-Benz snowcoach. Our comfortable snowcoaches will take you over snow-covered roads to visit Old Faithful, Upper Geyser Basin and West Thumb Geyser Basin. We will stop for a picnic-style lunch around midday. We will provide Yaktrax traction cleats and walking poles to safely enjoy short walks around the park as well as hot drinks and quality snacks.
