Activities

Enjoy the splendors of Yellowstone National Park - but don't expect the scenery to end there. There's lots more to see and do outside the Park. In fact, West Yellowstone's locals prefer it. Enjoy the area's abundant lakes and streams. Take a waterfall tour. Greater Yellowstone is world famous for its blue ribbon trout fishing streams. Experience the majesty of mountain peaks and alpine lakes by horseback or on foot - you'll find trails in every direction. Enjoy the thrill of world class whitewater rafting. Or, take a scenic float trip through this area's breathtaking scenery. The West Yellowstone area is becoming well known for its mountain biking opportunities.

Wildlife watching is at its best.  You're chances of seeing a bear or wolf are best during this time of year. At the end of April, the buffalo are having their newborns. At the end of May, the moose have their young. And in June, it's the elk's turn. Whitewater rafting starts as early as May. The entire Yellowstone area comes alive after its winter sleep.
