Depends on whether it has snowed there. Best to check with the park personnel before going.

If you're lucky, you might see some shmoe at the Old Faithful information center ask when they turn Old Faithful on. No, I'm not making this up- been there, seen that.

I don't think it's the season to tour Yellowstone unless you go by snowmobile or settle for a drive through the very northernmost part of the park. Here are the road conditions as of today:

Here are the snow depths (Northwest Wyoming is Yellowstone):

The roads won't open to wheeled vehicles again until late Spring.

It's well worth going when the time is right.

You can view from your home: Webcams.

Right now, everything looks pretty black, but I bet tomorrow once the sun's up, it will look pretty white.

Our son (the euphonium player) is in Colorado and has invited us out there for Thanksgiving. I will be watching for more reports. Thanks to all.
