a note about your choices of vehicle and clothing: while this home is very easily accessible from 2 major two-lane highways (87 and 287), remember that you are visiting the rocky mountains The driveway and short gravel access road to the house will be plowed of snow and are graded regularly, but we do recommend choosing a rental car appropriate for the season, weather and terrain in Montana. A 2WD vehicle will be fine most of the time, but 4WD and AWD vehicles are recommended during the snowy season which can begin as early as September all the way through June. Please be sure to check weather forecasts regularly. Weather in the mountains can be very dynamic and change quickly. People joke about experiencing all 4 seasons in one day once in a while. Keep various clothing layers and rain jackets handy while you are enjoying your outdoor activities, so you can always be safe and comfortable.
please visit the yellowstone national park website to stay abreast of any temporary or seasonal road closures in the park, and to take advantage of all the detailed info there about the many amazing park attractions, plus videos and helpful trip planning guides.
