Getting to West Yellowstone
West Yellowstone may not be the easiest destination to get to, but it is well worth the effort. Public transportation has stopped their normal runs from Bozeman, but a rental car is a sensible choice as there is so much to do in the region. If you are looking to partner on a rental car, or have a ride to offer, please visit the ride share form and add your information.
