2) Nature – Surround yourself with the pristine quiet nature of Yellowstone and let it fill you with calm. Getting married can be stressful whether you are going down to the courthouse or hosting a wedding for 500. Go snowshoeing and lose yourself among the trees as your take in the stillness that you have been searching for since your wedding planning had begun.

3) New Experiences– Whether it is snowshoeing hand in hand, having a picnic while waiting for a geyser to erupt, or crossing paths with a herd of bison on the trail. These unforgettable experiences together will stick with you forever.

4) Solitude – Instead of going to a crowded beach for your Honeymoon why not sneak away with a romantic winter getaway? Yellowstone during the winter is limited to a small population of visitors and offers an abundance of trails and excursions for you to slip away.

5) Exercise – Burn off those wedding cake calories and leftover wedding jitters! Not many think about the need for exercise on their honeymoon but between the flood of emotions, wild celebrations, and indulgence of wedding cake yummy goodness you both need it. Even if you take just a short snowshoeing jaunt around the Upper Geyser Basin you will be feeling more on top of the world than ever before.

7) Learn – Besides the incredible snow that the Yellowstone boasts in the winter, it equally has if not more educational opportunities. Take a moment to talk to a ranger or ask any staff member a question and I guarantee you will learn something new. Did you know that Yellowstone is the only place in the United States where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times?
