Snowmobiling is a favourite hobby for many, and we usually spend the summer fixing up and modifying our snowmobiles for our winter snowmobiling trips. After repairing, maintaining, tuning and finishing prepping your sled for your trip, you have to know where to take it! We researched for you and have compiled a list of the 4 Best Places to Snowmobile in 2020. Each one of these places is usually a hot topic when you talk to anyone about where they should be going for their next big trip.
West Yellowstone, Montana
|
Starting off our list of the best snowmobiling in the US is West Yellowstone, Montana. Thrilling mountain views, 400 miles of trails and an average of 150 inches of annual snowfall, you are sure to have a blast sledding through some of the groomed or backcountry trails in this area. Snow usually arrives early and stays late, so you can enjoy riding outside of peak seasons. Yellowstone Vacations offers two guided tours, Old Faithful and Yellowstone Park Grand Canyon. These will show you the best that the region has to offer alongside some fantastic snowmobile trails. Old Faithful Geyser Basin Tour is 65 miles, and you pass by the inkpots, will most likely see some wildlife and get to experience Old Faithful halfway through the day. The Yellowstone Grand Canyon tour is 90 miles and takes you past the upper and lower falls, and many of the active geysers in the area. |
Island Park Idaho
Well known for its diverse and technical terrain that includes tree riding, 500 miles of trails and over 200 inches of average snowfall, Idaho Park is a solid choice. Riding elevation can vary from 5,000 - 10,000 feet along the largest Mainstreet stretch in the world. You will be able to start and keep going to the extent of your supplies! You will pass through towns along the trail, making it possible to enjoy a much longer touring route. There are large off-trail sections, such as Jefferson and Sawtelle. The Freemont Country Snowmobile report is updated daily with scheduled route groomings.
