Wildlife in Gardiner, Montana
Always be on the lookout for wildlife in the communities surrounding the park. Elk are prevalent here in Gardiner and can often be found navigating the local streets or grazing in and around the town. Give them space!

Yellowstone River Trail
Dry conditions along the Yellowstone River near Gardiner, Montana which is often the case unless we have a big storm. You'll find plenty of elk, pronghorn and bighorn sheep grazing in this area. Elk can often be found roaming the streets of Gardiner throughout the year.

Yellowstone North Entrance Road Reconstruction Project
This is exciting!
Nothing is set in stone as of yet but it's a beautiful alternative and provides access to areas that were impacted by the historic floods that damaged park infrastructure in 2022.

A beautiful hike this morning but still no snow here in Bozeman. Winter usually settles in around the beginning of October but it feels like it's getting later and later every year.
