Seasonal Highlights

Spring Awakening (May 15 – June 15):

Yellowstone and Island Park emerge from winter’s rest with roaring waterfalls, lush greenery, and wildlife at their most active. Bison calves, elk, and moose are often spotted, and the rivers come alive with trout fishing. Days are cool and crisp—perfect for hiking uncrowded trails or cozy evenings by the fire after exploring the park.

High Summer (June 15 – Aug 15)

This is peak season at Pelican Point. Long, sunny days invite swimming, tubing, and boating right from your private dock. Evenings stretch late into the night with fiery sunsets and stargazing by the firepit. July 4th is unforgettable here—fireworks sparkle over the water and can be enjoyed from the deck, lawn, or dock. Fishing is excellent, and a drive up Sawtelle Peak reveals breathtaking panoramic views of the entire region.

Golden Serenity (Aug 15 – Sept 15)

As summer crowds fade, Pelican Point transforms into a sanctuary of calm. The lake grows still, making it ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and quiet mornings on the dock. School is back in session, so Yellowstone’s trails and boardwalks become peaceful again. The air is crisp, sunsets grow richer, and the first hints of autumn colors begin to spread through the mountains. It’s an especially romantic season for couples seeking tranquility.

Autumn Splendor (Sept 15 – Oct 15)

This is Yellowstone at its most dramatic—elk bugle through the meadows, wildlife prepares for winter, and the mountains ignite with brilliant fall foliage. Crowds have disappeared, making this the perfect time for photographers, nature lovers, and travelers seeking solitude. Crisp days give way to cool evenings, ideal for fireside gatherings and intimate dinners after days spent exploring.
