This guy was able to talk all day, and even the kids who initially had a moderate disinterest in the whole tour were mesmerized by his stories by the end of the tour. I would advise other to be ready for changing weather, there were some peeps on the tour who barely wanted to get out of the van because they were underdressed for wind and cold. This is Montana folks! Fun group as well as everyone began looking out for sign of wild life. Thanks Clark!

I toured Yellowstone National Park on three separate days (12/17-12/19/2018) in snowcoaches…read moreprovided by Alpen Guides. Since the cost of the tours was included in a vacation package provided by a travel company, I'm not sure about Alpen Guides' specific prices. This review is based on how much I appreciated the tour itself. I went on two tours to Old Faithful & one to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The Grand Canyon tour included a box lunch. The Old Faithful tour didn't include a meal but you could purchase something to eat at the Old Faithful visitor's center restaurant if you wanted to. I was so excited about riding the snowcoaches! In Yellowstone, snowcoaches are a normal mode of transportation during the winter but I'd never ridden one or even seen one in person before. In lieu of regular tires, the back portion of a snowcoach has tracks like a tank & the front part has something that resembles skis so it can plow through the snow. The reason why I was so anxious to ride one is because the kid in me remembered the old "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" animation special where the narrator rode one. For each tour, I was picked up just before 8:30 am near the front of the motel where I was staying. We normally returned back from the tour around 4:30 pm. The tour groups are usually small (the ones I went on ranged from 4 to 8 tourists with either one or a couple of driver/tour guides). On the three days I went, I rode with customers from Ohio, Alabama, Maryland, Canada, Utah, and the Phillipines (among other places). We were told not to throw gum or candy wrappers on the ground inside the park because they want to keep Yellowstone as natural as possible. During the winter season when there's lots of snow, they only allow snowcoaches & snowmobiles in Yellowstone. Snowcoaches have a speed limit of 25 mph while snowmobiles have a speed limit of 35 mph. Because snowmobiles are allowed to go faster, snowcoach drivers are supposed to pull over to the side and let them pass. Snowmobile drivers usually travel in groups & from my observation behaved like groups of people in a motorcycle club; like they owned the road even though most of them were riding snowmobiles for the first time. The crowds in Yellowstone are small & spread out in December so even with the snowmobilers we felt like we almost had the park to ourselves. The worst thing about the snowmobilers is when we're quietly taking pictures of wildlife & then they drive up en masse & unintentionally scare the animals off. Our drivers/tour guides were excellent at their job. They had eyes like hawks, pointing out such sights as bald eagles nesting in the trees that most of us would've missed. They knew everything about the various types of trees and wildlife. My favorite part was other than seeing the wildlife was listening to the guides tell stories about their experiences in Yellowstone. One tour guide told us about when he was by himself in the park & a grizzly began approaching him. He had to use bear spray to temporarily slow it down so he could get in his vehicle & drive away. Another guide told us about how bald eagles mate for life & how they sometimes test the worthiness of a mate during courtship by doing a death spiral. A death spiral is when they lock talons high in the air, tumble towards the earth & then let go just before hitting the ground. That's how they decide whether their mate is a ride or die. If you're trying to decide which tour to choose, I'd recommend that you go on both. The Old Faithful tour has the best opportunity for souvenirs due to the two gift shops near the geyser. Also, there's a restaurant beside one of the souvenir shops. The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone tour is popular too because tourists love taking selfies with the canyon waterfall in the distant background. The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone tour includes a boxed lunch that consists of a cold sandwich (roast beef, turkey, etc.), small bag of chips & Oreo cookies. We ate the boxed lunch inside the Canyon Visitor Education Center (where you can see animal skulls & pelts). You'll see wildlife on both tours but I saw more bison on the Old Faithful tour. Every time you venture into Yellowstone it's likely you'll notice something you didn't see the day before. I enjoyed riding the snowcoaches but my favorite was the maroon bombardier that has been running since the 1950s that's nicknamed Chip. It also had a roof that the driver sometimes opened when Chip was parked. You could stand up, stick your head out & take pictures. The other snowcoaches were nice too, although they looked more modern. All of them were toasty inside but during the winter you should wear warm clothing because you will get out of the ride & walk some. The weather fluctuated from single digits to the twenties later in the afternoon. Alpen Guides is as good as it gets when it comes to sightseeing tours. Five stars!

They readily helped us with a small extra need for one of our party. (Jul 2026) Our Gallatin Cabin was separate from three other cabins in two other buildings. Ours was modern, bright, and clean. They provide a nice book of local recommendations, and a number of useful discount coupons! Thanks! One bedroom was roomier. Two others were quite cozy, filled with queen bed and cabinet. There was wifi and a moderate-size tv, which we used to screen-share the day's photos. The kitchen area was roomy and fully equipped, with an open counter with tall chairs. We ate there, and at an indoor picnic-like table. The open layout was nice for conversation. It was convenient to have laundry facilities, and two shower-bathrooms. There was a small attached deck with chairs, and also a grill with table and chairs across the parking lot. We didnt cook there, but we did sit at one or the other for morning coffee and evening beverages. We felt comfortable and welcome. This was perfect lodging with perfect hosts at a convenient not-too-busy location with a nice restaurant-bar across the street, and within a short walking distance of downtown shops, restaurants, and bars.

We were grateful to have the ability to have our own showers, washer/dryer and kitchen after staying several nights and various state park cabins. It was a lovely way to reset while we spent two days exploring Yellowstone. We met the people staying in the Grizzly Cabin (larger place, full house, on the same property next to us) and they were so pleasant. Then there is the Grizzly Lodge which is even larger! The cabin and lodge had their own hot tubs, and they had fire pits and firepit seating with swings made out of ski lift chairs. The whole experience was the best of our 8 day trip (OR to WY and back) to be honest, when it came to lodging.

Clean, up-to-date, decorated nicely for Yellowstone. Great firepit!…read more We liked this cluster of lodgings where friends were staying. The Rustic Bison buildings were like three long single-wide trailers, made permanent, behind a cabin. Those three we rented were clean and up-to-date, with many nice western decorations inside. Living room, kitchen, and bedrooms were pretty spacious. One very nice feature was a large firepit out front, surrounded by Adirondack chairs, with another picnic table or two off to the side, and additional seats that would've been easy to carry from the porches, if we needed them. Our friends staying here had bonfires every evening, and we joined them for ice cream from across the street, and for roasting marshmallows! I love to light them afire, blow them out, and eat the crust, sometimes re-lighting a few times until I can't resist the molten core. Some of us just melted or just browned the marshmallows. Pro-tips: Get long skewers, and be sure that the fast lighting firewood you use is the kind that is safe for cooking. By the way, these cabins are right across the street from what became our favorite ice cream, baked goods, and coffee shop, with the lowest prices in town. Both of the places we stayed in town were close enough to walk here. Everything in West Yellowstone is pretty close to everything else. Look for the huge brass Rustic Bison sculpture out front!

There is simply nothing like it around. I was a solo traveler (33F) from NY never having been to MT or out west - reading reviews online I liked that the ranch didn't seem to be like a "mill" and looked like more of an individualized experience & boy was everyone right. I was immediately put at ease before I even booked when I called the ranch and Melissa spoke with me right away answering all of my questions - she is extremely knowledgeable, responsive & informative. Upon booking she sent a bunch of information for packing/activities/etc. - there were absolutely no surprises and I felt very prepared for the trip & of what to expect - if you miss something it's because you didn't read it carefully & that's on you! My cabin immediately felt like home - it was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated. There is so much charm to the ranch. Every meal was better than the next. Melissa, Kurt, & the wranglers are the real deal - they know the country better than the back of their hand & I was so impressed by them all. Having never experienced this kind of country I quickly went from being apprehensive to eager to go out every day and explore simply because of how at ease the wranglers made me feel. Kurt & Melissa have a real talent for reading horses & people and paired everyone PERFECTLY with their horses for the week as well as the group I rode with. I have never seen better cared for/happier horses in all my years of riding - I don't even want to say my horse's name here (& I won't) because I selfishly want her for the next time I go but she was really just such a great horse. There are not enough words or space in this review to say how much I loved this ranch and how much I appreciated the kindness and warmth Melissa, Kurt, their 2 boys, the guests, animals, and the entire staff of the CWR showed me. This place will forever hold a special place in my heart & I look forward to coming back as many times as I can!!
