This Rocky Mountain enclave in southwestern Montana is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, offering snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and dog sledding in winter; trout fishing in fall; birding, biking and hiking in spring; and summer parades and rodeos.

Great family Tarzan show! Actors and actresses were very committed to their roles and you could tell they were having fun. Opening variety show was a nice treat. Fun intermission goodies are served also! Interesting that they're moving several miles away next year. Not sure if we would make that trek so glad they're in West Yellowstone this summer.

My 11 year old has never ridden a horse. He has always wanted to. I grew up riding horses with my grandfather and I wanted to have that experience with him. We arrived at the Diamond P Ranch was immediately greeted by our guides, Nan and Aaron. The ranch itself was so beautiful and rich with history. We received instructions about horseback riding and about the area, we also go a card with a brief history of our horse that we would be riding. I thought that was pretty awesome! Our guides were so amazing, it's like we became best friends. They were so good with my boy on helping him get comfortable. We went on a 3-hour ride which honestly felt like 1! We had so much fun and riding in some of the most amazing scenery the Rocky Mountains has to offer. The horses are so well trained and very calm and responsive. Our guides were very knowledgable. Thank you Diamond P Ranch, Nan and Aaron for providing a memorable experience. We hope to come back!
