Beautiful area, so much less crowded than inside Yellowstone. Loved the accessibility of the trail to the waterfall at the Clark's Fork picnic/fishing spot

We LOVE this store, right in the heart of Cooke City, MT! If you love T-shirt variety, look no further! They have dozens of designs, & most of them are UNDER $10, which makes it so much fun to pick out several: On Saturday, June 13, 2020, we bought 5 T-shirts & a super-cute kids’ bear blankie/back-pack for little more than $62! Tip: Many of these same T-shirts will be inside Yellowstone, for 30-40% more, so support a local business, & enjoy shopping all their other selections—Pendleton wool items, yummy huckleberry treats, sweatshirts, denim shirts, gorgeous jewelry, kitchen items—such a great selection of so many terrific gifts! The two shirts in the photo below? The maroon one on top has a “glow-in-the-dark” feature, & the teal T-shirt on the bottom features a grizzly: Both are under $10 each!????????

Easy to walk thru and experience Cooke City once upon a time. Enjoyed this must see place. The staff was easy to talk to and answered any questions we had. Loved the outdoor exhibits also. Wifi is available and so are clean tidy restrooms.
