Island Park during the winter is a great place to get away! Here are few ideas of things to enjoy.
1 Take a drive
The drive in itself is enough to turn around and go home. Glistening snowflakes all over will make you squint your eyes. The snow is everywhere! A thick heavy blanket covers the ground and weighs the limbs of the strong pine trees.
2. Cozy up by a fire
What's better than a warm cracking fire after a day out of fun in the cold? The smell of wood burning and smoke is the best way to unwind.
3. Go sledding
Here is a list of hills you can find to go sleigh riding. Why is it that we enjoy the adrenaline rush of such sports?
4. Put your feet up and read a book.
Getting lost in a book is such a great way to enjoy the stillness of a snow covered forest from the comfort of a warm cabin. Nothing says vacation quite like having time to open up a good book.
5. Take a winter's walk
Bundle up and hear how quiet the forrest can be in the dead of winter. You may hear the occasional animal outside or even some snow falling, heavy on the branches.
6. Put on some cozy socks
Your chilly feet will thank you immediately after you put them on, and they will continue to thank you after they are warm.
7. Enjoy a ride on a snowmobile
Not much more is thrilling or exciting than feeling the cold wind whiz past you as you zip free in a meadow or up on a mountain. Here is a great resource for rentals & trails.
Park in the winter is such an unique experience!
Nothing has ever felt so rustic, so off the grid. The nearest infrastructure besides the only gas station and restaurant in town is West Yellowstone, nearly an hour away on a snow covered road.
