We are located at 208 Electric Street in West Yellowstone,
Montana. You can get to West Yellowstone, Montana through
Montana by going to Bozeman and taking Highway 191 south
approximately 90 miles. Or, from Idaho, take U.S. I-15 to Idaho
Falls, Idaho; continue north on Highway 20 to Rexburg and then
through Island Park, Idaho to West Yellowstone (approximately
110 Miles).



West Yellowstone, Montana has earned a reputation among sled
enthusiasts as the "Snowmobiling Capital of the World." With
more than 1,000 miles of trails through some of the most
breathtaking scenery anywhere, it invariably tops the list of
favorite sledding destinations for any snowmobiler.
The trail system begins right in West Yellowstone, where
snowmobilers share city streets with motorists. There are also
hundreds of miles of trails in the Gallatin,
Beaverhead and Targhee forests in this system. Please
see
THINGS TO KNOW for
more information, rules and restrictions for riding in and
around West Yellowstone.
The West Yellowstone area provides a wide range trails that meet
the demands of beginning, intermediate, and experienced riders.
Whether you prefer steady, mellow cruising with few elevation
changes, or you are craving the powdery steeps, there are plenty
of options to suit your taste.
The Madison Arm Loop
is located north and west of West
Yellowstone and is 20 miles in length. This is an excellent
trail for beginning snowmobilers or someone looking for a nice
trail ride. The northern edge of the Madison Arm Loop skirts
along the edge of Hebgen Lake, while the west edge goes along
the South Fork of the Madison River. (Caution: the ice along
Hebgen Lake is not safe to ride on)
South Plateau Trail
can be access from Electric Street right in West
Yellowstone. It heads south for 13 miles where is meets the
Black Bear Cutoff (to Idaho) or 16.2 miles where is meets the
Black Canyon Trail. It provides great views of the area's
mountains, following creeks and rivers away from the crowds.
There is an abundance of off-trail riding but make sure that you
do not enter Yellowstone Park (the South Plateau Trail skirts
the western edge of the Park).

America!
Two Top Trail
is a popular choice for its variety of
terrain and 2,000-foot elevation gain. The trail is groomed, and
powder fields abound. From the upper areas, the surrounding
mountain ranges come into view, including the Wyoming's Tetons,
Idaho's Centennial Mountains, Lionshead in Montana, and
Yellowstone National Park. Constant driven winds create ghostly
ice patterns plastered on the trees at the top of this mountain
creating the famous "snow ghosts."
The Big Sky Trail
provides some of the best backcountry
snowmobiling in Montana. This 110-mile trail begins just north
of West Yellowstone. The first portion is groomed, but the trail
quickly turns into an ungroomed powder experience. Deep fields
of snow, and outstanding hill climbing opportunities are the
hallmark of this well-known and challenging trail. This is a
trail for more aggressive riders looking for backcountry access.
Try Carrot Basin and Skyline Ridge.
Lionshead Trail
offers an exciting experience for those seeking
something more radical. Following the east side of the
Continental Divide, the trail climbs to over 10,000 feet. Lionshead is short (10 miles), with plenty of the steep terrain,
very deep snow, and outstanding views.
Horse Butte Loop
travels the shores of Hebgen Lake. Access the
loop from the 4.8 Horse Butte Trail. (You can add another 15
miles by taking the Cougar Creek Trail.) This trail makes a ride
through thick pines and open meadows and along the lake. Watch
for the fire lookout and great views from the top of Horse
Butte. There is off-trail riding through then trees and meadows,
although some of the area is restricted (posted signs).
The Continental Divide Trail
offers a unique snow travel
experience, connecting central Wyoming with our community via
Yellowstone National Park. The trail system begins near Lander,
Wyoming at Sinks Canyon, and winds through the Wind River
Mountains near Pinedale and Dubois. The trail then passes
through Togwotee Pass and Moran before entering Grand Teton
National Park in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The trail follows the
Rockefeller Parkway and ends at Yellowstone's southern entrance.

Snowmobiling Island Park:
Island Park offers incredible, crowd-free riding and huge
amounts of snow, adding to the amazing network of possibilities
with another 500 miles of groomed trails! Talk about powder -
Island Park receives over 250 inches of light, fluffy snow a
year! West Yellowstone's trail system is connected to those in
Island Park, making it easy for visitors in either community to
enjoy both areas.
Snowmobiling Yellowstone:
A once-in-a-lifetime adventure is to snowmobile along the same
roads traveled by tourists in the summer time. There are 200
miles of groomed trails inside the park, and 400 miles outside.
All roads except Mammoth to Cooke City and Canyon to Tower are
open to snowmobiles. Ride from West Yellowstone to the Grand
Loop, which takes you to Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake, Norris
Geyser Basin and many other of the park's favorite attractions.
