Hiking and Biking:

For those who'd rather travel by their own power rather than on horseback, hiking and mountain bike trails will take you to many destinations. The ranch has a limited number of bikes for guest use, or feels free to bring your own. West Yellowstone Bicycles and Freeheel & Wheel offers rental bikes by the hour or the day.

There are two events that might interest you. The Spring Bike Ride (which takes you into Yellowstone National Park when cars are not on the road), and the Fall Cycle tour of the area in October.

The Rendezvous Ski Trail is easily accessible from the town of West Yellowstone, Montana. The Rendezvous Ski Trails consist of over 35 kilometers of gently rolling, beautifully groomed trails that wind through tall stands of lodge pole pine and open meadows. The trailhead is at the south end of Geyser Street and is marked with a distinctive archway. There is always a good chance that you will encounter wildlife on the trail system. Elk, moose, pine marten and bear sightings are not uncommon so stay alert and be prepared.

Whitewater & Scenic Rafting:

Rafting the Gallatin River is a popular summer attraction that will truly provide you with an experience to remember for a lifetime. Enjoy the thrills and spills of an adventuresome outing, or take a leisurely trip. Scenic and white water raft trips are available through several companies servicing the Gallatin, Yellowstone, and Snake Rivers from June through mid-September. You’ll need to provide your own transportation to the rivers, however, we’ll be glad to assist you with reservations.

There are many other activities from bike races to triathlons sponsored by West Yellowstone, the US Forest Service and other communities. Check our calendar for a list of events.
