New and Exciting!

From the Bozeman International Airport (Gallatin Field)

Take I-90 to Livingston Exit 333 (Livingston, Montana).  Exit the freeway and the ramp takes you around a cloverleaf to a traffic light.  This is the intersection with State Hwy. 89.  Turn left (south) onto Hwy. 89.  You will be heading south through the Paradise Valley.

Travel about 45 miles south on Hwy. 89.  Some of the landmarks you will pass by include a town called Emigrant where there is a flashing light at the only intersection with the highway—continue south, a sign that marks the Tom Miner Basin off to your right, and a sign that tells you that you are entering Yankee Jim Canyon (which is the narrow canyon that Yellowstone River runs north through and where the whitewater rafting tours run out of Gardiner).  Continue south.

As you come out of Yankee Jim Canyon, you have another few miles to go to your turnoff.  The road follows the Yellowstone River, which you will see on your right.  After a few miles, you will come to a small green highway sign that says "Entering Corwin Springs" and a large sign saying Yellowstone Hot Springs. The next driveway to the right is your turn and takes you to the Corwin Springs Bridge.  The Corwin Springs Bridge is the only way over the river until you get all the way into Gardiner.

(Please note: The new Hot Springs is now open at Corwin Springs and there is a large sign that states Yellowstone Hot Springs.)

Cross the bridge and make an immediate left turn onto the dirt road which is Old Yellowstone Trail South.  Go along this road approximately 2.5 miles.  You will pass a few homes, lots of meadows, and a ranch operation (Royal Teton) where the buildings are painted yellow.  The next property after this ranch is the cabins.  Turn left at the driveway entrance with a white sign marked “Yellowstone Cabins” with addresses beginning with 550 (there is a new brown home on your right-hand side as you enter the driveway.  Proceed beneath the large log arch entry.  Drive in and park at your designated cabin.  Let yourself in with the combination lock code you have been given.

From the North Gate of the Park

Exit Yellowstone National Park at the North Gate in Gardiner, Montana. You will pass through the Roosevelt Arch. Take a left and you will be on Old Yellowstone Trail South.

Follow this road out of town (pavement ends and it's gravel thereafter). Go about 4.5 miles. You are actually still inside the Park as the boundary wraps around Gardiner and goes north several miles.

Stay on the Old Yellowstone Trail South through the various meadows. The river gorge will be on your right and the closest mountains on your left. You will come to a hiking trailhead called Beattie Gulch on your left (at Reese Creek) and you will see some jackleg fencing and a parking area.

Continue on Old Yellowstone Trail South to the first driveway on your right after this trailhead. You will come to a new brown home on the right.  Proceed down the driveway and beneath the large log arch. You will see a row of log cabins below by the river.

Park at your designated cabin. Let yourself in with the combination lock code you have been given.

From Billings

From Billings take the I-90 Interstate westbound.  Follow the signs for Butte.  You will pass towns such as Columbus, Reed Point, and Big Timber. The stretch from Billings to Livingston will be about 110 miles.

Stay on the freeway to Livingston and take exit 333. The off ramp puts you at the intersection with Park Street (Highway 89) in Livingston.  Make a left turn (south) and you will be on Hwy. 89 headed south through Paradise Valley all the way to the cabin.

Travel about 45 miles.  Some of the landmarks you will pass by include a town called Emigrant where there is a flashing light at the only intersection with the highway—continue south, a sign that marks the Tom Miner Basin off to your right, and a sign that tells you that you are entering Yankee Jim Canyon (which is the narrow canyon that Yellowstone River runs north through and where the whitewater rafting tours run out of Gardiner).  Continue south.

The next driveway to the right is your turn and takes you to the Corwin Springs Bridge.  The Corwin Springs Bridge is the only way over the river until you get all the way into Gardiner.
