Lake mcdonald
Glacier National Park
An easy, moderately trafficked 13.7 mile hike that leads to picturesque views at the lake shore. Lake McDonald is located within the West side of Glacier National Park. This hike is the perfect day hike leading to a perfect view, I strongly recommend this hike if you love views and longer hikes. There are several different hikes that lead to the lake but I found this one to be the best.
Paradise valley
US Highway 89 and East River Road (Highway 540)
Paradise Valley is one of the largest river valleys of the Yellowstone River, located just North of Yellowstone National Park. The valley is surrounded by the Absaroka Range and the Gallatin Range. There is scenic, sixty-two mile paved walking loop that circles through the entire valley. Beautiful views all around this area, definitely worth the trip!
Moose Creek Inn
119 N Electric St, West Yellowstone, MT 59758
When planning our visit to Yellowstone National Park, we didn’t want to stay in a traditional hotel, we wanted to stay somewhere that gave us the cabin/ourdoorsy feel and this was just that. This stay is located in the heart of town, minutes from the Yellowstone entrance, making it easy to walk to shops, stores, restaurants, and bars nearby. The staff at Moose Creek Inn are so welcoming, and the coffee shop within the building is so yummy. I highly recommend this to anyone traveling to West Yellowstone in need of a place to stay that is cozy, accommodating, and located in the perfect spot.

The Slippery Otter Pub
139 N Canyon St, West Yellowstone, MT 59758
Located in a small town near the West Yellowstone entrance, this is the perfect spot after a long day of hiking. They have traditional American food, great service, and vegan options! This is walking distance to several shops, and attractions year Yellowstone. The menus are so cute, giving you fun facts about Yellowstone and history about the area.
