10 Things to do in West Yellowstone Montana
There's so much to do in West Yellowstone, MT, a gateway town to Yellowstone National Park. Living just north of the Park, we have spent a lot of time in that area but we also love the west entrance of West Yellowstone Montana. It's got a very retro, historic ambiance to it with plenty of fun things to do before you even go into the first national park. And it's not just for RV campers. Here are 10 of our favorite things about this wonderful Montana town.
Bonus tip: The Slippery Otter pub is a great place to grab a beer.

DOWNTOWN WEST YELLOWSTONE
360* degree-view of downtown West Yellowstone, Montana as seen at the corner of Yellowstone Avenue and Canyon Street, Oct 2, 2013. The tiny city is the western gateway to the Yellowstone National Park and mainly caters to park visitors. Seen on the video clip is the Montana Centennial Train car Cow Belle (maroon/orange/blue rooftop) adjacent to the left of the Historic Center Museum (formerly Union Pacific Depot), the Chamber of Commerce building, and one of the colorful life size buffalo artworks by local artists. Interesting note about the 100th birthday train: The Cow Belle, part of the 25-railcar train was in New York City for the opening of the 1964-65 World's Fair, and it served as the backdrop for the Montana Pavilion's pioneer village. The knowlegeable staff of West Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce has to be commended for their excellent service to the Park visitors for providing them info on alternate state and local sceneries during the YNP closure due to the federal government shutdown from Oct. 1 thru Oct. 17, 2013.

Grizzly Bear Discovery Center in West Yellowstone
Paid a visit to the Grizzly Bear Discovery Center in West Yellowstone
Great place to watch Grizzly Bears up close without the need of bear spray or fear of becoming their next meal :)
The Grizzly Bear Discovery Center also has Wolves, Eagles and Beavers. The place is not as big as I'd expected but definitely worth a visit.

Yellowstone National Park - Old Faithful Inn - Full Tour (2018)
The Old Faithful Inn is a hotel located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States, with a view of the Old Faithful Geyser. The Inn has a multi-story log lobby, flanked by long frame wings containing guest rooms.
With its log and limb lobby and massive (500-ton, 85-foot) stone fireplace, the inn is an example of the Golden Age of rustic resort architecture, a style which is also known as National Park Service Rustic. It is rare in that it is one of the few log hotels still standing in the United States, and was the first of the great park lodges of the American west.
Initial construction was carried out over the winter of 1903–1904, largely using locally obtained materials including lodgepole pine and rhyolite stone. When the Old Faithful Inn first opened in the spring of 1904, it boasted electric lights and steam heat.
The structure is the largest log hotel in the world; possibly even the largest log building in the world. In 2007 the American Institute of Architects conducted a survey to determine the 150 favorite buildings in America; the Old Faithful Inn ranked 36. The Inn, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987, is itself part of the Old Faithful Historic District. Old Faithful Inn is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management and control of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, the first being Columbus Delano. However, the U.S. Army was subsequently commissioned to oversee management of Yellowstone for a 30-year period between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than a thousand archaeological sites.
Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest super-volcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone. In 1978, Yellowstone was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
WEST YELLOWSTONE WALK TOUR: 1
The Union Pacific Pylon (no. 1 location) is the start of this historic walk tour of West Yellowstone, Montana which I completed in less than two hours, Oct. 1, 2013 by following the sidewalk bear paw (green) trail. The marker symbolizes tourism in its infancy (early 1900s) when railroad travel made the national parks more accessible to all. The patriotic colors and 13 stripes of the shield honored the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, signed by Pres. Abraham Lincoln. The historic tour is a project of the West Yellowstone Economic Development Council in association with the Yellowstone Historic Center Museum, the U. S. Forest Service, West Yellowstone MAP Fund, and participating historic site locations. Info: yellowstonehistoriccenter.org (An iPad mini HD video upload)
You Don’t Need to Worry About Yellowstone (or Any Other Supervolcano)
You’ve probably heard that the supervolcano under Yellowstone National Park is a ticking time bomb ready to go off at any time. But as it turns out, volcanologists aren't too worried about it.

The 1959 Yellowstone Earthquake
At 11:37 p.m. on August 17, 1959, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake rocked Montana’s Yellowstone country. In an instant, an entire mountainside fractured and thundered down onto the sites of unsuspecting campers. The mammoth avalanche generated hurricane-force winds ahead of it that ripped clothing from backs and heaved tidal waves in both directions of the Madison River Canyon. More than two hundred vacationers trapped in the canyon feared the dam upstream would burst. As debris and flooding overwhelmed the river, injured victims frantically searched the darkness for friends and family. Acclaimed historian Larry Morris tells the gripping minute-by-minute saga of the survivors who endured the interminable night, the first responders who risked their lives and the families who waited days and weeks for word of their missing loved ones. (Thursday Night at the Museum—September 29, 2016)

Drawn to Yellowstone
In association with Wyoming PBS, Raechel Donahue of Wild West Productions has produced, written and directed a documentary loosely based on the Peter Hassrick book Drawn to Yellowstone, the story of how the art of Thomas Moran and the photography of William H. Jackson were used to persuade Congress to make Yellowstone into the world's first national park. Beginning with the native Americans who frequented the area, through the early expeditions in the 1800s and eventually traveling up to the present day, scholars and artists tell the story of this amazing 2.5 million acre wilderness and the incredible pull it has always held for artists of every kind.

Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles have been documented, including several that are either endangered or threatened. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest and most famous megafauna location in the Continental United States. Grizzly Bears, wolves, and free-ranging herds of bison and elk live in the park. The Yellowstone Park Bison Herd is the oldest and largest public bison herd in the United States. Forest fires occur in the park each year; in the large forest fires of 1988, nearly one third of the park burnt. Yellowstone has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. During the winter, visitors often access the park by way of guided tours that use either snow coaches or snowmobile.
