Your year round Gateway to Yellowstone Country is West Yellowstone, Montana. We invite you to explore the land West of Yellowstone during your visit. A visit to our area during any season poses unique opportunities for enjoyment. Take a trip southwest of here to Mesa Falls and the southwestern corner of Yellowstone National Park. Experience the beauty of Quake Lake and learn about the Earthquake of 1959. Experience the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky, and the scenic Gallatin Canyon.
Long summer days offer unlimited access to the splendors of the high country, be it a scenic drive in Yellowstone National Park, fishing or hiking through flower covered mountain meadows, whitewater rafting, or horseback riding along crystal clear rivers and streams.
The warmth and beauty of fall offers vibrant colors of autumn foliage against the evergreen backdrop of our abundant forests. The sounds of bugling elk will stir your inner soul.
In winter, West Yellowstone's powder snow and groomed trails have garnered the town the title of "Snowmobile Capital of the World" - a true mecca to the fascinating and exhilarating sport of snowmobiling. Millions of acres of park and other public lands are open to snowcoach tours and cross-country skiing, while major downhill ski resorts give skiers a variety of challenges.
In spring, the land awakens. Trout are hungry, flowers abound, the wildlife are bearing their young, and birds fill the air with song.
Our businesses will be happy to assist you in ensuring your West Yellowstone experience will be an adventure that will be long remembered.
We look forward to seeing you in West Yellowstone.
