SCENIC SAFARIS RECEIVES CONTRACT FROM NATIONAL PARK SERVICE TO OPERATE SNOWMOBILE, SNOWCOACH
TOURS IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Scenic Safaris, a tour company owned by Forever Resorts LLC, has been selected by the National Park Service to provide guided interpretive oversnow vehicle tours within Yellowstone National Park under a new concession contract. The contract is scheduled to be in effect beginning July 1, 2014.

All equipment utilized meets the National Park Service newest noise and emission requirements.
In addition, Scenic Safaris operates the newest, most fuel efficient and quietest snowmobiles available. The company is the largest single buyer of SkiDoo snowmobiles.
Scenic Safaris has partnered with Headwaters Lodge and Cabins at Flagg Ranch to offer snowcoach and snowmobile guests a better experience this season. Details about packages debuting for the 2014-2015 season will be announced shortly.
All Scenic Safari guides are certified by the National Association for Interpretation and undergo continuous education each year. In addition, all guides are qualified Wilderness First Responders and trained to address emergency situations.
New tours are in development now for the 2014-2015 winter season, which begins Dec. 15, 2014 in Yellowstone National Park.
