Things to do in West Yellowstone
West Yellowstone is a small town built right against Yellowstone National Park’s west entrance, the park’s busiest gate and the most direct route to Old Faithful and the geyser basins. Nearly everything here serves the park’s visitors, from hotels and outfitters to fly shops, restaurants and tour operators, and the town’s population swells dramatically in summer. In winter, West Yellowstone becomes a hub for snowmobile and snowcoach tours into the park and for cross-country skiing on the Rendezvous Ski Trails, which host races and training camps.
