Columbus, Montana is located on on I-90 at the junction to Red Lodge on Montan State Highway 78. Due to its convenient location to Red Lodge and the Northern Boundary of Yellowstone National Park, many people travel through Columbus each year.
With a small population hovering around 2,000 full-time residents, Columbus has much to offer the visitor. If you are looking for a base camp that is near some of the most scenic natural resources, yet not filled with the crowds of tourists just South in Yellowstone, we recommend a night or two in Columbus.
Columbus is located in Stillwater Country and is at the northern end of the Stillwater Valley. This often overlooked valley is home to a wide range of geographic features, breathtaking scenery and wildlife that outnumbers the people.
If you are on your way to Yellowstone National Park, this is the way to get there. Take the most scenic route..."Gateway to the Beartooth Highway," described by Charles Kuralt as "one of the ten most scenic roads in the world." You'll find it's an easy day trip traveling MT Hwy 78 to Red Lodge.
