BOZEMAN, MT, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Yellowstone Forever, the official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park, is welcoming visitors to plan a more immersive park experience with its Summer 2027 Lodging & Learning programs and private tours. The offerings pair expert-led education with time in Yellowstone’s landscapes, from wildlife-rich valleys and geothermal basins to the shores of Yellowstone Lake.

Summer Lodging & Learning packages are now available to book in partnership with Yellowstone National Park Lodges. Guests will stay overnight at in-park lodging and explore with Yellowstone Forever field educators, with select meals and transportation included depending on the program. Options include Yellowstone for Families, designed for families with children ages 8 to 12; Essential Yellowstone, which introduces visitors to the park’s best-known features; and Grand Tour of Yellowstone, which travels between park locations aboard a historic yellow bus. The August program Wild Yellowstone: Tracks & Talons focuses on wildlife viewing and guests have the opportunity to see wolves, bears and birds.

Visitors looking for a day in the park can also book one of four private tours with a Yellowstone Forever field educator: Yellowstone Day Hike; Lamar Valley Wildlife Watching; Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone; or Geysers, Mudpots, and Hot Springs. Tours can be tailored as family-friendly experiences. Each tour includes field breakfast and lunch, beverages, transportation from Gardiner or Mammoth Hot Springs, and use of scopes and binoculars.

“Yellowstone rewards visitors who take time to look closer,” said Amanda Hagerty, Chief Program Officer at Yellowstone Forever. “Our summer programs help guests understand the wildlife, geology and stories behind the places they’re visiting, while giving them the guidance and support to make the most of their time in the park.”

Yellowstone Forever’s educational programs connect visitors with Yellowstone’s natural and cultural history through field experiences led by educators who help bring the park’s wildlife, geology and landscapes into focus.
