Wish You Were Here: Adventures in snowy Yellowstone National Park

Bay Area News Group readers are a well-traveled bunch. Just in the last year, they’ve toured salt mines in Austria, explored rivers in Alaska, and so much more. And once they returned home, they shared their travel stories and passed along helpful tips for anyone else interested in going too.

Here’s the latest installment, this time from snowy Yellowstone National Park.

Wish You Were Here

WYOMING AND MONTANA: Fremont resident Joe Samagond and his family spent a week in snow-blanketed Yellowstone National Park in December. “We loved the winter wonderland with its grand snow-covered landscape, snow-capped peaks and captivating thermal features in the company of bison, elk, wolves and coyotes,” Joe says.

TRAVEL TIPS: “Winter travel in Yellowstone requires prep and legwork. Pack plenty of warm layers, waterproof boots, hand and toe warmer, heat packs and a good thermos. Spend some time in the fantastic nearby Montana towns of Bozeman and Livingston.”
