BOZEMAN, MT, UNITED STATES, July 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Yellowstone Forever Institute, the official nonprofit education partner of Yellowstone National Park, is thrilled to announce its fall and winter Lodging & Learning lineup. These immersive educational programs, offer a unique opportunity to stay at iconic park lodges while delving deep into Yellowstone’s wild landscape.

Highlighted programs include the brand-new “Wild Yellowstone: Tracks and Talons,” where participants encounter the park’s predator-prey dynamics; “Fall Wolf and Elk Discovery,” focusing on seasonal wildlife; the beloved “Roosevelt Rendezvous” for history enthusiasts; the “Old Faithful Winter Expedition,” a snow-covered adventure; and the “Winter Wolf Discovery,” tracking Yellowstone’s iconic wolves.

Yellowstone Forever’s Winter Lodging & Learning programs offer a memorable blend of comfort and discovery. Presented in partnership with Yellowstone National Park Lodges, the packages combine lodging, expert-led field excursions and educational experiences. Participants explore the park’s winter landscapes, observe wildlife such as wolves and bison, and learn more about Yellowstone’s ecosystem while staying in the park’s historic lodges. Additionally, select meals are included.

Designed for travelers seeking both comfort and enrichment, Yellowstone Forever Institute’s Loding & Learning programs combine expert-led education with overnight accommodations inside and near the park. Participants spend their days exploring Yellowstone’s wildlife, geothermal features, and landscapes alongside Institute field educators, who know how to help guests slow down, notice more, and make sense of what they are seeing, then return each evening to welcoming lodge settings for reflective discussions, storytelling, and community.

“As seasons change, Yellowstone transforms into an entirely different world,” said Amanda Hagerty, Chief Program Officer at Yellowstone Forever. “Our Lodging & Learning programs offer a chance to truly connect with the park’s wildlife and heritage, all while enjoying the warmth of Yellowstone’s historic lodges.”
