Location and Access

Silver Gate Lodging is in a rural area less than one mile from the Northeast gate entrance to Yellowstone National Park, nestled between the park's Lamar Valley, Montana's Beartooth Mountains, and Wyoming's Sunlight Basin. Silver Gate sits at an elevation of 7,400 ft, while the peaks around it soar to over 11,000ft. Silver Gate Lodging is 100 km from Yellowstone Regional. F.J. Williams Primitive Western Art Gallery is 5 km away, as is Clay Butte Fire Lookout Tower. Grizzly Lodge is 0.3 km away, and Cooke City Montana Museum is 4 km away.

General Store Services

The general store sells Montana gifts, basic foods, local craft beer, wines, hiking supplies, maps, bear spray, and books. The store also carries local firewood and grinds Grizzly blend Montana roasted coffee on site. The store is open from 8:00 am till 9:00 pm during peak season (Memorial Day-Labor Day), and after Labor Day the store hours are 8:00 am till 8:00 pm. Silver Gate Guides offer half and full-day private wildlife tours into Lamar Valley.

“This property presents a paradox: a remote escape that's also a gateway to Yellowstone's wild heart. Cabins offer basic comfort with kitchen amenities, letting you self-cater amidst stunning scenery, and fire pits foster a sense of community after a day exploring Lamar Valley. While some may find the rustic charm a touch unpolished, for those seeking immersion in nature, this could be a good fit.”
