West Yellowstone, Montana is located on the western border of Yellowstone National Park, and serves as a busy year-round gateway to this popular park. Alpine summers are spectacular, with world-class fishing on the Madison River, hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, and boating on Hebgen Lake. Winters bring deep powder snowmobiling and snowcoach tours into Yellowstone's winter wonderland. Visits are often combined with outdoor recreation in nearby Island Park, Idaho or incredible skiing at Big Sky Resort.
