06 West Yellowstone

The gateway to Yellowstone National Park, West Yellowstone, has earned many accolades for its breathtaking scenery and numerous activities. Winter is the perfect time for snowmobiling or skiing among the frozen waterfalls and snow-covered trees. Your camera is a must for snapping pictures of wildlife. Fishing enthusiasts will find no better place to catch trout than on the picturesque streams and crystal-clear mountain lakes.

West Yellowstone is as much fun to visit in the spring as it is in winter, spring, or fall. Spring is ideal for watching newborns in the wild. Summer offers long days for hiking, biking, and kayaking. There are also numerous activities during the summer months, such as the Yellowstone Museum, weekly rodeos, and live music. Adventurers can get their fill here with a choice of white water rafting, horseback riding, or helicopter tours; there is something for everyone.
