West Yellowstone is an outdoor person's paradise. We have some of the best biking, hiking, horseback riding, boating (including sea kayaking, water skiing, whitewater rafting & kayaking, and swimming), skiing & snowshoeing, fishing, hunting, wildlife watching, geyser gazing, and sunrises/sunsets in the world!

If that isn't enough, we also have an excellent museum, an IMAX theater (along with a regular movie theater), live shows in the summer at the Playmill theater & Shakespeare in the Parks, a wild animal educational facility (the Grizzly Wolf & Discovery Center), A Smoke Jumper's Museum & Environmental Education Center, live music in the park on summertime weekends, an earthquake visitors center, and lots of shopping, bookstores, coffee bars, bakeries, and restaurants. There are organized outings of all kinds where you can learn about things as diverse as West Yellowstone history (from the seat of a bicycle) to sea kayaking to wildflower identification. Check out the WY Chamber's weekly update. Big Sky and Ashton (45-70 miles either direction out of West Yellowstone) offer golfing in the summer months.

In the winter, we have some of the best skiing on the planet, including the Rendezvous groomed trail system, where you can get rentals & lessons. Then there's Yellowstone and the surrounding area's myriad of touring possibilities, boundless mountains for backcountry sliding and riding, and snowcoach and snowmobile tours in Yellowstone and the surrounding area. Big Sky and Moonlight Basin offer downhill skiing only 45 miles from West, and daily winter shuttles and car rentals are also available. Check out snow and road conditions on the map page and here...
