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.
