Day 3: Red Lodge
After a leisurely breakfast, stroll by the shops up and down Broadway, and check out the
critters at the
Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary.
Later, grab some picnic supplies at
Café
Regis
and head out on a scenic hike in the Beartooths, perhaps the
Basin Creek Lakes
Trail.
Back in town, enjoy a sumptuous meal at
Bridge Creek Backcountry Kitchen and
Wine Bar.
The National Bison Range is one of the oldest animal refuges in the country.
Appreciating wildlife is as much a part of the culture as mountains are part of the
landscape. The most obvious choice for prime wildlife viewing is Yellowstone Na-
tional Park, where animals have the right of way; just try telling a herd of rutting
bison that you have to be somewhere. Grand Teton and Glacier National Parks are
also great bets, although the restricted roads and dense forests can limit visibility.
Both states are packed with public lands and refuges (Wyoming has 7 national wild-
life refuges, and Montana has 15) that offer prime habitat to any number of species.
