If you fell in love with the cowboy adventures of the TV show Yellowstone, then a trip to the stunning mountains of Montana is for you. Here are some of the best places in Montana to visit for a beautiful outdoor adventure that will allow you to follow in the footsteps of your favorite Yellowstone characters.
Lolo National Forest
While it may be one of the state’s smaller national forests, Lolo is a perfect place to visit thanks to its wide variety of natural wonders. From rivers and waterfalls to mountains, valleys, and hiking trails, Lolo National Forest will truly help you to become one with nature and all its beauty.
Red Lodge
When they’re not ranching, the Dutton family would often visit their local town, whether it was to pick up groceries and other supplies or simply to enjoy a night out. For a similar experience, head on over to the charming town of Red Lodge. A gateway to Yellowstone, Red Lodge is surrounded by the breathtaking views of Custer Gallatin National Forest.
Garnet
Although Yellowstone may be set in the modern day, its numerous spinoffs will take you back in time to the Old West. If you’re in the mood for a trip back in time, consider taking a trip to Garnet, an abandoned Old West town. Consider visiting in June around the same time as Garnet Day, when you’ll be able to enjoy Old West reenactments, music, food, and family-friendly activities around the town.
