This quaint, Old-West-style town in southwest Montana has served as the “main entrance” to Yellowstone National Park since its creation in 1872. In fact, most of the residents of this town are working or have previously worked for Yellowstone, so do not feel afraid to ask for directions to the North Entrance Road Historic District, home to the only year-round entrance to Yellowstone. If you want to learn about the history of the nearby national park, make sure you stop by the Yellowstone National Park Heritage and Research Center where you can find museum collections and detailed history of the park and park service. You do not need to even be in the park to get that Old-West feel as bison, elk, antelope and deer are said to roam the streets and areas around town. Quite naturally, wildlife viewing is extremely popular in Gardiner in both the winter and summer, and can be combined with your favorite outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. No trip to the park would be complete without a stop by Parks’ Fly Shop, the oldest fly shop and guiding operation in the area, they are the regional experts for fishing and various kinds of guided tours, from walk and wade to boat trips on the Yellowstone River.Whether you are in town to begin your adventure in the nation’s first national park or you are just passing through, our Gardiner hotels are sure to make your travel plans easier.
