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

Yellowstone Trading Post

Reviewed By tlewiswatts53 - Bozeman, United States

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!????????
