Christmas in Yellowstone depicts wintertime deep within Yellowstone National Park. NATURE follows in the snowy footprints of Yellowstone\'s red foxes, spies on the predatory play of wolves and elk, and climbs into the den of a grizzly bear that gives birth to two cubs while deep in hibernation as captured by author and photographer Tom Murphy in "Christmas in Yellowstone."
Yellowstone National Park is a joy to visit any time of the year. In the autumn and winter there are some closures. Fall weather is unpredictable and roads may be closed temporarily by snow or other weather conditions. Snow tires or chains may be required. Beginning December 20, 2006 all roads are open to oversnow travel. Oversnow travel refers to vehicle such as snowmobiles, snowcoach, etc.
There is an abundance of winter activities at Yellowstone. Yellowstone National Park is one of the only national parks that allows snowmobiles. There are certain regulations for snowmobiling that must be followed in order for everyone to be able to enjoy themselves. All snowmobile operators in Yellowstone National Park must possess a valid motor vehicle operator\'s license. It is important for all snowmobilers to always be prepared for emergencies and be alert for snowdrifts in some areas or sections of bare pavement, especially in thermally-influenced areas.
Other winter activities in Yellowstone include cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. These are wonderful ways to see the park sites. In addition Warming huts will be open at Canyon, Fishing Bridge, Indian Creek, Madison, Old Faithful and West Thumb. All warming huts, except Old Faithful, are open 24 hours a day; the Old Faithful Warming Hut is open during daytime hours only. Canyon and Madison warming huts have light snacks and hot drinks during the day; vending machine snacks are available anytime at all warming huts except Indian Creek and West Thumb to make your trip a pleasurable experience.
