Gardiner Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

We visited this location but ideally needed to be there in the afternoon as the sun was on the "wrong" side of the arch. I used a wide lens to capture the arch and didn't attempt to correct the distortion as I felt it added to the picture (for me anyway). It took a long time to get this without hoardes of people in the shot.

Take advantage of local knowledge and insight so that your Yellowstone vacation becomes a memorable experience that delivers a lifetime of memories.

Whether for an exciting Yellowstone whitewater rafting trip, the world’s best fly fishing, or to saddle up for a real Montana horseback adventure - you are certain to enjoy the beauty and natural spirit of the country’s most popular National Park.
Gardiner Montana sits on the other end of this entrance.
Charming town, great old west feel still.
If you follow the Snake River about a mile down there's a small area with a hot spring that's great for swimming. There's a parking area and then you need to do the mile hike down
Drive up little ways from Cooke City on a dirt road to Daisy Pass and enjoy view of Republic Peak and Shark's Fin (from left). #colorful
