What’s Happening in Yellowstone: November 2025
November marks the quiet arrival of winter in Yellowstone National Park. With all but one road closed, access is limited to the scenic corridor from Gardiner through Lamar Valley to Cooke City, a landscape transformed by snow and silence. Bison and elk endure the cold, wolves roam the valleys in search of prey, and the last trumpeter swans glide across the icy Lamar River. Bears retreat into hibernation, while raptors and coyotes thrive in the frostbitten stillness. This is Yellowstone at its most raw and intimate, a place of resilience, beauty, and endurance for both wildlife and those who venture north to witness it.
