#Yellowstone has long remained in the American imagination as a land little touched by humanity. From the steaming power of erupting geysers, to the thundering might of the Yellowstone River, this magnificent landscape is testament to the power and beauty of Mother Nature.
When European explorers first ventured into these enchanting lands, they returned with stories which most people dismissed as hallucinations. Since then, it has become one of America’s ultimate #adventure #vacation destinations and provides a home for the largest remaining herd of wild bison on the planet. Welcome to Yellowstone, the grandfather of all national parks.
We hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Montana's Fabled Yellowstone with Cabela's Outdoor Adventures
This fly fishing lodge lies in Paradise Valley, overlooking the Yellowstone River, the longest undammed river on the planet. With 300 miles of fishable trout water, there is no shortage of fishing options here, regardless of the conditions. The Yellowstone is known for its prolific hatches and incredible fishing for browns, rainbows, and cutthroat trout. The river offers the best of both worlds with great float fishing and wade fishing opportunities. This area is centrally located around some of the state's best trout fishing with other nearby blue-ribbon trout streams like the Madison and Boulder. The lodge also offers private access to some challenging, yet rewarding, spring creeks. There's nothing more exciting to spotting and stalking large trout in gin clear water as you watch it take your dry fly! Besides the main lodge where guests gather for meals and to swap fish tales, there are also 16 private guest cabins. There are two different packages to choose from, both offering excellent opportunity for incredible fly fishing. The deluxe package includes accommodations in the newly constructed loft-style riverside cabins. These cabins feature two bedrooms, two baths, living room, kitchenette, flat screen tv, and private deck overlooking the river. The standard package includes accommodations in the original cabins that feature more of an open area with two queen beds, full bath, sitting area, and semi-private deck overlooking the river. All cabins have electric heat, central air, and incredible views of the Absaroka mountain range. Other area activities include hiking, mountain biking, gold, horseback riding, Chico hot springs, whitewater rafting, or a day trip to Yellowstone National Park.

Our guide tries two times to get up hill and fails. Karl Leinsing makes it up on first attempt and then our guide makes it up on 3rd try, but still not as high as Karl. Chris McKinney tries on 1st attempt and gets stuck at 1st ridge. To our guide - - Chris made me post this. :) Thanks for a good time.
Road Trip USA on I-90 Chicago to Yellowstone
We entered the US at Detroit on the Ambassador Bridge. We drove through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana - most of it on I-90. We stayed 2 days in Chicago and 2 in West Yellowstone. The other overnight stops were in Sioux Falls, SD, Sheridan, WY and Kalispell, MT. Much of Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks were not open as we were there at the end of April. These are a few highlights.
Our trip started in Hamilton, ON and ended in Bragg Creek, AB (we are Canadians) a distance of 5,200 km (3,230 mi), but this video shows highlights of the trip from Chicago to Yellowstone. We did the trip in 8 days.
OLD FAITHFUL & Mammoth Hot Springs | Yellowstone National Park & Red Lodge, Montana Roadtrip
Visit Red Lodge! It is a beautiful town, right on the way to Beartooth pass in Yellowstone National Park, in Montana.
My mother, Carla, and I are road tripping through beautiful Montana. We stayed for a night in Red Lodge, since we heard it is so picturesque and beautiful.
When we woke up at the Lupine Inn, we drank some free hotel coffee, and had a quick swim in the pool. Hungry for food, we then went for lunch at Bogart's Restaurant downtown. We ordered fried pickles, jalapeno poppers and Mexican enchiladas. The food is extremely delicious here, and good value.
After lunch, we decided to work off some calories, so we walked the whole length of the main street of Red Lodge.
We were anxious to see animals. Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary, all rescued animals who need care, is also in downtown Red Lodge and welcomes guests to see their bears, foxes and other animals. Community funded, the animals here are deemed unable to survive in the wild. They try to provide the best life for the animals. There are many signs to be quiet, so as not to scare the animals.
Before traveling out of town to drive up Beartooth Pass Highway, we first stopped at the old train station, where the art takes over the indoors, from floor to ceiling. Admission is all free, but the art is for sale.
It was our time to target on the road to Yellowstone, by way of Beartooth Pass. We headed into the mountains to Beartooth Highway Pass, up to the state line where Montana meets Wyoming. Unfortunately, there was too much ice and snow on the roads to continue -- the road was closed off for the rest of the winter already.
We had no other choice but to drive up to the North gate at Gardiner, Montana, entrance to Yellowstone to enter. Along the way, we saw moose and deer along the road. Once we entered Yellowstone National Park, we enjoyed the sighs of Mammoth hot springs and Old Faithful Geyser.
We left Yellowstone from the south gate entrance at Wyoming, that goes through the Grand Teton Park. The sunsets were incredible in the wide open Montana and Wyoning skies.

I have always wanted to see Yellowstone National Park for myself ever since I was a seven year old boy. Fortunately, I had three others with me who desired to see the park and it's surrounding areas with me. We set off for Idaho Falls and shortly after taking off with our rental we reached our first stop at Targhee National Forest in southeastern Idaho to see upper and lower Mesa Falls.
From there we crossed the Idaho Montana border and entered into West Yellowstone where we stayed, at Wyndham Worldmark. Next day was a fairly cloudy and snowy day limiting our travel plans to almost none. Fortunately we got a taste of winter in the park checking out some Hot Springs. First stop was the Painting Pot Nature Trail, then The Midway Geyser Basin for the Grand Prismatic hot spring and several geysers. Snow eventually came in real hard and we eventually headed back to town for dinner and some local beer.
Third day, we did a large loop around southwest Montana passing through Hebgen Lake and Earthquake Lake. Passing through Ennis and up to the Lewis and Clark Caverns where we took a two hour tour through some beautiful caves. From there we drove through the large towns of Bozeman and Livingston before heading back south through the Roosevelt Arch in Gardiner to Mammoth for some more Hot Springs and back to our place of stay.

28-Mile Bike Tour + Mind-blowing Wildlife Lessons: a Yellowstone National Park Travel Guide
Little-known fact: Yellowstone’s West Entrance is open to hikers & bikers during the park’s 2 off-season periods: Spring & Fall. The gates are closed to cars, but the roads are plowed, and ready to be explored (weather permitting).
Two days before the gates opened for the 2018 summer season, we explored 28 miles of unadulterated Yellowstone wilderness by bike — from West Yellowstone to Madison Junction and back.

Montana's Backroad to Yellowstone
Open space and wildlife. Cowboy towns, fly-fishing, and great food. Things to do and places to stay. Roll down US Highway 287 on Montana's Backroad to Yellowstone!
You have discovered the Backroad to Yellowstone in southwest Montana where there are so many things to do! Take your vacation in a new direction through the Madison Valley and find unspoiled landscapes, untamed wilderness, pristine lakes and abundant wildlife. Learn the story of Quake Lake and the geology of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Visit Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park for a 2-mile hike and tour of the caverns. Stop for a picnic at one of several fishing access sites along the clear, rushing Madison River. Camp, hike or ride horseback in the quiet of the non-motorized section of the Beaverhead National Forest. Fish, raft, kayak and swim in the warm months. Or come for winter and snowshoe or cross-country ski through some of the most peaceful forests in Montana – followed by a soak in the Norris Hot Springs while you listen to live folk music.
Ennis is a year-round western town in the heart of the Madison Valley with unique shops and galleries, delicious restaurants and distinctive lodging – all one-of-a-kind and owned by the folks greeting you on your arrival. Explore our Main Street and take a sip at a local distillery. Belly up for a brew at a cowboy bar with a hitching post. Shop for wholesale silver jewelry, western boots, fishing and hunting gear and locally sourced gifts. As you wander, pick up a guide and take in the outdoor art walk. Dine upscalewith fine wines, have a piece of home-made pie or try a fresh scone with a local latte. Any time of day there are great spots to satisfy the foodie in you. And when you are ready for a great night’s sleep, choose from budget friendly motels, a remote retreat or complete your Montana immersion with a stay in a fishing cabin or fishing lodge with all the modern comforts.
More things to do? Well, of course. Events – lots of them! Most famous is the 3rd and 4th of July parade and rodeo in Ennis, but also the Art Festival, the Brew Fest, the Ennis-on-the-Madison Fly-fishing Festival and Hunters’ Feed for starters. What else? How about golf course at 5000’ for long drives, a first-run movie theatre and a bowling alley? Ennis offers the traveler all the services you need to keep your vacation on track, but there is still more to explore.
Historic towns are tucked in the mountains between the Madison and Ruby valleys are the living and past reminders of the wild-west days of gold fever. Virginia City lives on as you walk the boardwalk and peer into the windows of the past –literally. Nevada City boasts a Nickelodeon museum with dozens of music machines and a walking tour of authentic western buildings, including a two-story outhouse! Ghost towns and the ghosts of the past are everywhere. At night there are even more things to do! The Brewery Follies and the Virginia City Players entertain with vaudeville, plays, song and dance. Events in Virginia City include the Victorian Balls, a motorless parade and historic stagecoach tours of the town and Boot Hill. In Nevada City, live reenactments of the days of vigilante justice play out giving travelers a glimpse of frontier justice and the true wild west.
Exploring the Backroad to Yellowstone along US Hwy 287 will take you out of your routine and give you a chance to take in a big slice of all that Montana has to offer. There are things to do, places to eat and stay and sights to see. Take your time, breath deep and leave refreshed!
