Yellowstone from Bozeman

Use Bozeman as your base for Yellowstone

Bozeman's airport and restaurants make it an easy home base for exploring Yellowstone National Park.

Two ways into the park

North entrance at Gardiner: about 1.5 hours from Bozeman. It's the only entrance open to cars year-round, close to Mammoth Hot Springs and the Lamar Valley, known for wildlife.
West entrance at West Yellowstone: about 1.75 hours through the Gallatin Canyon, the closest route to Old Faithful and the geyser basins in summer.
Park roads and entrances change with the seasons. Check the National Park Service website for current road status before you go.

Leave early. Yellowstone days are long, and wildlife is most active in the morning.
Pack lunch in the condo's full kitchen. Food options inside the park are spread out.
Come home to a hot shower, laundry and a rooftop patio facing the Bridger Mountains.
