The COVID-19 crisis has upended everything. But for those ready to travel again, Yellowstone National Park and the community of Gardiner, Montana, might be exactly what you’re looking for: wide open spaces, plenty of natural wonder, and easy access for those on a grand American road trip. Here’s some helpful information to help you plan your summer adventure.
We’re open and we can’t wait to see you.
What To Expect
Because of health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, some services in and around Yellowstone National Park are reduced. Here are some of the things you can expect to find when you travel to the area.
In Montana, it’s important to:
- Wear a Mask
- Maintain Social Distancing (at least 6 ft. apart)
- Wash Hands/Use Hand Sanitizer
- Don’t Touch Your Face
- Cover Coughs & Sneezes
In Gardiner, Montana
Here at the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, you’ll find small-town Montana charm, natural splendor, and abundant wildlife. Our beautiful landscape—coupled with a colorful history of trappers, miners, and mountain men—make Gardiner a unique “home on the range” for visitors and residents alike.
Split by the mighty Yellowstone River and nestled between the Absaroka-Beartooth and Gallatin mountain ranges, Gardiner is surrounded on all sides by approximately 10 million acres of public lands. Year round access to Yellowstone’s Northern Range,truly differentiates Gardiner from other Yellowstone gateway communities.
Whether you seek the quiet splendor of wildlife watching in winter or the thrill of whitewater rafting in summer, we welcome you to stay like a local—hike, soak, ski, fish, raft, and explore our little piece of Big Sky Country
