Pictures of Winter in Yellowstone - - The Park Has More Than Old Faithful
It has Snowmobiling, Cross Country Skiing and Animal Watching Too

By , About.com Guide

During the winter in Yellowstone you can snowmobile or cross country ski past steamy clouds drifting from hot springs, geysers and fumaroles. At dawn, you'll watch the horizon turn blazing yellow as the sun rises and a golden tint reveals the dark-green pines that punctuate snow-clad mountains. Then, you'll look through a spotting telescope scope at two wolf pups playing while the alpha male lopes past bison shoving their massive heads through the snow to reach the rye grass below. Welcome to Yellowstone in the winter.

Yellowstone in a mantle of snow is an astonishingly beautiful park. Here are the "Top 9 Reasons to Visit Yellowstone in Winter".
