What to do and see in West Yellowstone, Montana (MT): The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

April 19, 2022 Nobuko Falco

Since the early 1900s, West Yellowstone has provided a tourist-friendly gateway to the geysers of Yellowstone National Park and its resident bison, bears and elk. This Rocky Mountain enclave in southwestern Montana is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, offering snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and dog sledding in winter; trout fishing in fall; birding, biking and hiking in spring; and summer parades and rodeos. In-town eateries and attractions are an easy stroll from local lodging.

My son and I did both tours. The Canyon tour gives you more riding and the roads are a little narrower, which we liked. We saw more wildlife on the canyon tour including 2 coyotes, a fox, a bald eagle and lots of bison. On the Old Faithful tour, we only saw bison - but still enjoyed that tour. We used Two Tops clothing and paid for upgraded machines with heated seats, which was worth it. Stayed warm all day. Big trunk on machine that let you stow all your stuff. Our guides were Cameron and Owen - both were friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic.

Had the best tour guide Cody! He was very knowledgeable, fun, and an Eagle Scout! I mean that literally...he would spot an Eagle hundreds of feet away on top of a tree while on the snowmobile! Absolutely wild! So worth the experience!

We were blessed with good weather during our visit to Yellowstone this fall. Due to snow on the ground and the shop’s advice I changed my plans from mountain biking to road biking. The knowledgeable staff was able to give me excellent bike route options for my weeklong stay. I can’t say enough good things about the ladies that work at the shop and their Chai Lattes were exceptional too.

Back Country Adventures

Reviewed By 321nicole - Dallas, United States

My family of three spent five days in West Yellowstone and the day we spent with Backcountry Adventures was by far the best day of our trip! Jerry, the owner, answered every question I had, returned every email and call, and had a smile on his face every time I saw him. Gary, our guide into Yellowstone, has a passion for what he does and quite the “eagle eye.” Gary spotted all sorts of wildlife on our excursion. We also stopped at numerous geological features on our way to Old Faithful. I would recommend this tour to anybody! My 13-year-old son is already to go back…as soon as he can drive a snowmobile ;)
