Winter Escape to Yellowstone National Park from Bozeman, Montana

Curated by
Katie McAvoy
Yellowstone National Park is on most bucket lists, for good reason. The vast majority of people see it in the warmer months. Visiting Yellowstone and Montana in the winter, though, provides a completely different view. Imagine Yellowstone with no cars, fewer people, blanketed in white. You can spot the famous wolves, eagles, bison, moose and maybe even a hibernating bear, to name a few. Yellowstone's geothermal features are even more spectacular and hot spring baths more welcoming. Montana is a perfect launching point for your winter adventure. Couple sightseeing with downhill or XC skiing, snow shoeing, dogsledding, snowmobile rides and more. There's no cabin fever here in Montana!

I did a site inspection while staying at The Green O in Montana. It is a luxurious adults-only retreat tucked away on a sprawling 37,000-acre Montana ranch. Designed for those seeking an escape that blends adventure and relaxation, the Green O offers secluded accommodations like treehouses and gourmet dining. Guests can choose from heart-pounding activities like ATV tours or calming experiences like spa treatments, all surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Montana's mountains and rivers. This trip report focuses primarily on The Green O, but I also had the opportunity to inspect The Resort at Paws Up, the family-friendly side of the property. Guests staying at The Green O still have access to everything at Paws Up, but not the other way around. Guests staying at The Green O have exclusive access to the Social Haus restaurant with renowned chef Brandon Cunningham and his extensive tasting menu.
