THE ROAD TO BOZEMAN ON A WINTER DAY
When you make the decision to live in West Yellowstone 12 months out of the year - you do so with having learned and accepted several things.
1. It is certainly one of God's most magnificent places on earth.
2. The scenery cannot be duplicated.
3. You are 100 miles from the nearest Wal-Mart
4. Any type of major (or even slightly serious) medical necessities will mean a trip down the Gallatin Canyon to Bozeman or a trip to Rexburg, Idaho or Idaho Falls.
5. There is one small pharmacy in West Yellowstone.
6. Many of the restaurants and businesses will close around the first of October and will not open again until mid May - or later.
7. McDonalds has NO $1.00 menu and you cannot get a salad or ice cream there from October 1 until Mid May.
Having said all that - I can also tell you that living here is worth the trade offs.
Some of the best - most generous and caring people I have ever met are full time - year around - residents of West Yellowstone, Montana.
Come on out and meet us. - Who knows? Maybe you will decide to stay a while.
