When It’s Cold Outside…

December thru March the parks concessionaire Xanterra offers interpreted snow coach tours into the interior of the park.  They also offer ski and snowshoe rentals.

If you’re looking to ski locally Timber Trails in Livingston offers rentals too. Downhill skiing at Bridger Bowl is a great local ski area as well only one hours drive.

Dog sled treks by Absaroka Dogsled Treks operates out of Chico Hot Spring Resort.  They trek up the Mill Creek Road, a drainage north of my cabins.   Mill Creek is also one of my favorite place to cross country ski and snowshoe.

Restaurants & More

Yellowstone Valley Grill has culinary fine dining, enjoy indoor dining or sit on their open patio with a view of the Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley.  Dinner highly recommended and reservations are needed.

Wildflower Bakery and Follow Your Nose BBQ  wildflourbakerymt.com is my local hangout, the bakery is open for breakfast and lunch, Follow Your Nose BBQ is open during the summer with occasional outdoor music.  It’s the perfect place to load up on fresh pastries, and bread for a day of exploring.
