Founded in 1880, Gardiner became a center of activity for visitors to the region, serving as the original, and only year-round, entrance to Yellowstone. Sandwiched between the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness to the north, the Gallatin Wilderness to the west, and the world's first and most famous park - Yellowstone - to the south, seasonal activities abound, with a focus on the outdoors.
In the summer and fall, activities include fishing, hiking, horseback riding, pack trips, whitewater rafting, kayaking and hunting.
In the winter, Yellowstone country is magically transformed under a blanket of snow, and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and wildlife watching are the most popular activities.
Gardiner has a small airport, a variety of lodging, art galleries, churches, grocery store, restaurants, shops, and related visitor services. Campground and trailer parks offer overnight services with all hook-ups.
The Roosevelt Arch is the most famous structure in Gardiner. This Yellowstone entrance, gateway or arch was dedicated by President Theodore Roosevelt on 24 April 1903. The arch is visible two miles north of Gardiner on Highway 89.
In Gardiner, elk regularly roam around town, and pronghorn can often be spotted in the hills and meadows near town. Listen carefully and you are apt to hear coyotes in the foothills in the evening time. Black bear and grizzly bear inhabit Yellowstone and the surrounding area. During the winter season, bald eagles and osprey abound on the Yellowstone River, while bighorn sheep come down to graze within view. The more cautious moose may be seen on occasion in the canyon above town, alongside the ever present deer and bison.
Gardiner has grown and matured to meet the needs of today's visitor. It is in the heart of some of the west's finest country, and real estate opportunities are abundant.
We welcome you to spend time in Gardiner, Montana, whether it be a day, a week or the rest of your life!
