A QUICK TOUR OF THE AREA
Located at the West Entrance to Yellowstone
National Park and sitting within the Gallatin
National Forest, meeting planners find this
“Hub of Yellowstone Country” excels
in exceeding the needs and interests of their
conference attendees. Nature at its best
provides picture perfect days within
Yellowstone National Park. Nearby, day trips
include Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife
Refuge, the Visitors Center at Earthquake Lake,
which tells the story of the 1959 earthquake
that dammed the Madison River; Hebgen Lake
Recreation Area, with swimming, boating, and
fishing; and the old gold mining towns of
Virginia City and Nevada City, which give a
glimpse into a bygone era.
PICK YOUR SEASON
WINTER: There’s nothing like a day on our
fantastic snowmobile, snowcoach, and
cross-country ski trails to put a glow in the
eyes and roses on the cheeks of every
visitor.
SPRING: What a great time for cycling. Traffic
is light, streams are rushing, baby bison and
elk are being born and the countryside is
greening.
SUMMER: The list is long and the experiences
unforgettable. Hike, horseback ride, tour,
fish, take pictures, watch wildlife –
time is the only thing in short supply.
FALL: Aglow in aspen gold, this is an
especially inviting time for fly fishers and
mountain bikers. Bright days and crisp nights
mark this quieter period in Yellowstone
Country.
ATTRACTIONS
The Museum of the Yellowstone, open summers,
occupies the great old Union Pacific Railroad
Depot and features exhibits transportation and
visitation to Yellowstone National Park. The
Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center, a year-round
educational facility devoted to preserving the
grizzly bear and wolf, provides opportunities
to see both in their natural habitat. The
ultimate motion picture experience can be found
at the Yellowstone IMAX Theatre, where the
grandeur of Yellowstone erupts year-round on
its giant six-story screen. Numerous shops
offer gifts and souvenirs, arts and crafts,
Western wear, and sporting goods, while day
spas provide ample opportunity for special
pampering. On summer evenings visitors can also
enjoy the lively, acclaimed Playmill
Theatre.
