Trips to Yellowstone National Park are often undertaken due to the sheer scenic beauty and phenomenal wildlife that can be easily experienced while there. The recreational activities are also extraordinary; hiking, biking, fishing and horse pack trips in the summer with cross-country skiing, snowmobile tours and snow-shoeing in the winter.
In addition to the natural splendor of the area, there are several man made destinations that are highly recommended to visit while on your trip to Yellowstone:
The Greater Yellowstone Science Learning Center is a portal to information about the natural and cultural resources of Yellowstone and Grand Teton (including John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway) national parks and Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. By reporting on what has been learned from research and monitoring in these parks, they hope to increase public awareness of new findings and encourage studies that will help guide park management decisions. The National Park Service has set up Research Learning Centers as public-private partnerships that promote the sharing of scientific knowledge about the parks.
The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center offers every visitor to Yellowstone a chance to uniquely experience
the world of grizzly bears and gray wolves. All the animals at the Center are unable to survive in the wild
and serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts. The Center is open 365 days a year as the GWDC bears do not hibernate and your admission is good for two consecutive days. The GWDC is located one block from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
The Buffalo Bill Historical Center is widely regarded as America's finest western museum. Located in Cody (northwestern), Wyoming, 52 miles from Yellowstone National Park's East Gate. The Center features a library and five internationally acclaimed museums (more than 300,000 square feet) under one roof devoted to western cultural and natural history. Admission to all five museums is good for two consecutive days.
Beartooth Highway
The Carbon County Historical Society and Museum is located 63 miles from the Northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park at the base of scenic Beartooth Highway. Housed in the 1909 historic Labor Temple in downtown Red Lodge, Montana the museum is home to the Greenough and Linderman rodeo collections, Liver Eatin' Johnston information, Waples family gun collection, an interactive coal and hard rock mine exhibit, the Carbon County archives, and much more. The staff also assists with family genealogy and historic research.
The Gallatin County Historical Society & Pioneer Museum is located in the old Gallatin County Jail. Exhibits include a hanging gallows, model of Fort Ellis, Indian artifacts, and the historic "Big Horn Gun." There's also a display on movie actor and Gallatin County High School graduate Gary Cooper. The Museum has a library, photo archives, and bookstore. FREE ADMISSION. Donations are appreciated
All best,
