Yellowstone in compromise plan over park snowmobile traffic

13. Yellowstone in winter

Yellowstone in winter is spectacular! I went on a snow cat tour of Yellowstone last January and it was fantastic. I believe that snowmobiles are only allowed on roads in Yellowstone, so the idea that they would be blazing around harassing wildlife is an exaggeration. There are also restrictions limiting the type of snowmobiles that are allowed there, the ones that tend to pollute more are prohibited. It's a national park that has tens of thousands of cars driving through it on these same roads all summer, a couple of hundred snowmobiles don't pose any kind of a threat. If it allows more people to share the natural beauty of Yellowstone in the winter, I think it's an excellent ideait's truly a national treasure.
