Yellowstone & Frontier Farms
Highlights
- Day 1: Fly to MontanaUpon arriving at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, we transfer to our nearby hotel for the next two evenings.
- Day 2: Bozeman Farms & HistoryOur day begins with discovering the area’s agricultural splendor at local farms. Venture into the fertile Rocky Creek bottomlands to visit Gallatin Valley Botanical, a family-owned organic farm boasting a wide variety of vegetables, fruit, and flowers. At Alpacas of Montana, enjoy a custom tour that gives us hands-on experience as we learn how the farm owners make quality alpaca clothing and other unique products. We then get to know fellow travelers over a Welcome Lunch before visiting the Gallatin History Museum. Built in 1911 as a jail, it has since been converted into a museum that tells stories of escapes, a hanging, and other mysteries. You can also view battlefield artifacts, old photographs, and Native American exhibits. The evening is at leisure to relax or explore independently.

- Day 3: Gateway to YellowstoneWe depart our hotel for Yellowstone Gateway Museum, nestled along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail in Livingston, Montana. Browse a vast collection of exhibits that showcase the area’s Native cultures, famous expeditions, and stories of early-day communities. There is also an authentic one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, and more. Afterwards, we continue our drive to Gardiner, the original gateway to America’s first national park. Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 to protect a large variety of wildlife and preserve the world’s most extraordinary collection of geysers and hot springs. We have free time in the Mammoth Hot Springs area before traveling through the northern loop of Yellowstone, where we may encounter the notorious bison traffic jam. Later, we check in to our accommodations nestled inside the park and have dinner together.
