We’ve added a monthly event calendar for the Mammoth Recreation Hall and Old Faithful Recreation.

Check your location’s page to see what’s going on.  We’ll continue to add events to it throughout the season!

Mammoth

Old Faithful

 

 

We have so many educational opportunities for you this winter!  These seminars are all presented by experts in their field who work directly in the park or the surrounding area.  

We will try to add a couple of more seminars throughout the winter so continue to check back here for more subjects and dates!

The majority of the Mammoth seminars will be at 7 pm in the Mammoth Conference Room that is located right next to the rec hall.  But please be sure to check the flyers for dates and definite locations!

The majority of the Snow Lodge seminars will be at 8 pm in the Paintbrush Dorm Lobby.  But please be sure to check the flyers for dates and definite locations!

UPDATED ON 01/29/18

This is your chance to see the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone as few people do – covered with fresh powder and sparkling with frost and ice. Ski the famed Roller Coaster trail or snowshoe along the rim of the canyon. Although these are geared towards skiers, snowshoers and sightseers are welcome as well! Be sure to rent your skis or snowshoes the day before. Bring a sack lunch and at least one quart (Nalgene) of water.

Presented by Yellowstone Forever and led by Brad Bulin, these field seminars will focus on tracks and signs of wildlife but will include a large variety of other interpretive and educational topics of the park.

Brad Bulin is a long-time seasonal instructor with Yellowstone Forever. He has been tracking and documenting wildlife for over 30 years, both large and small.  Brad is a wildlife biologist and cinematographer who captures video of many of Yellowstone’s wild animals, including footage which has aired on National Geographic, PBS, and CBS.
