@mamabec I don't know what to tell you since it is entirely different in the Winter. We stayed in the park so we would have easy access to the park at a time when you aren't allowed to drive your own vehicle most places. We stayed at Mammoth Hot Springs hotel and the Snow Lodge near Old Faithful. Both are Xanterra hotels and really nice but more spendy than we would have preferred
Such beautiful colour.
Your info helps. It will be so fun! We are doing an Alaska cruise in May. It’s our big 50th - so celebrating all year.
