Traveling to West Yellowstone Montana?
SUMMER
Yellowstone National Park truly comes alive in the summer. In early season/late spring, there are so many babies to see from all the wildlife that calls Yellowstone home. In summer we have awesome weather, but crowds can be significant, so try to make your plans with this in consideration. Bing Mountain Luxury Transportation can take you to your next adventure in YNP. If you need to get dropped off at lodging, an RV rental shop, dude ranches, or any resort, Bing Mountain is the best choice. Ride in style and learn from a local before your adventure officially begins. We offer vacation planning consultations complimentary - give us a call and lets make your dream trip a reality!
WINTER
Winter in West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park is truly special. Here's what to expect: all the same amazing thermal features and wildlife without any of the crowds. Besides seeing some groups of snowmobilers, you'll likely have the whole park to yourself! Please be aware that all roads in YNP close for the winter season with the exception of the north entrance from Gardiner to Cooke City which is plowed all season long. For the majority of the park, the only way to get in, besides on foot, is with a licensed tour guide. They'll take you on either a snowcoach or as part of a snowmobile tour. Either option is great, but the snowcoach is recommended for those who are intimidated by colder temperatures. Our recommendation is to take the snowmobile tour - it's awesome!!! For either option, you'll need to book as early as possible. These tours are extremely popular and sell out fast. There are many outfitters, but availability is limited especially during popular ski weekends at Big Sky. If you need a ride to West Yellowstone from Bozeman or Big Sky - contact us today!
Transportation in West Yellowstone
Once you've arrived in West Yellowstone, it is a small and walkable destination from most lodging locations. Getting to, or leaving from West Yellowstone to go to another location can be a serious challenge. No transportation providers are based in this area so all providers must come from elsewhere. Uber & Lyft are not available anywhere in West Yellowstone or even in Big Sky, MT for that matter. The 2 hour ride from Bozeman can be an intimidating drive particularly in winter. We're happy to take the stress out of the equation. Ride in style, and with a driver who has the experience of navigating these mountain roads on a daily basis. We are proud to offer pick ups in Bozeman and Big Sky for early morning dropoffs at West Yellowstone Outfitters. Our West Yellowstone transportation services can also take you back to home base after your adventure filled day!
BZN Baggage Delays
Due to ongoing construction and modernization efforts at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, passengers should prepare for potential extended wait times for checked baggage when arriving during peak hours midday. In some cases, these delays can be up to or exceed 90 minutes. We encourage all clients to consider not checking bags when flying into BZN to avoid delayed departures to their final destination.
