Visit Livingston, Montana

Livingston, Montana surrounded by four wild and beautiful mountain ranges that offer an abundance of outdoor activities year-round. Whether its fly-fishing on the Yellowstone, downhill or cross-country skiing, taking a wild outfitting trip on horseback, river rafting on a famous river or a hike in the most breathtaking, wild and natural place on earth, we have it all here in our diverse, friendly town. We are also a historic community that sits 52 miles north of the boundary to Yellowstone National Park. It has long been the “Original Gateway City to Yellowstone National Park,” and we have been evolving & enhancing our community since 1883.
For a relaxing day, visit our historic museums, wander through our many art galleries or sit along the river with a great cup of local coffee and take in the view. You can try a round of Golf on the edge of the mighty Yellowstone River or just walk through the late 1800’s history in our downtown historic district. Livingston has everything a destination needs for a Montana experience year-round with its super mild winters. We have great shops and a very diverse local restaurant scene from casual to fine dining or grab an award-winning beer from our downtown breweries.
Our night life is a mix of local and big-name entertainment at the pubs, breweries and many event venues, a live show in one of our two historic live theatres, camp under the star filled sky or simply relax in our many comfortable beds and let the occasional train whistle lull you to sleep.
Livingston is home to the largest population of writers and authors in the state. I think it has to do with the peace and quiet and inspiration our community provides. We have also had many famous visitors, from Calamity Jane to Sam Peckinpah and Michael Keaton to John Mayer we even please famous food critics like Anthony Bourdain in Livingston’s incredible restaurant selection.
So, for your year-round destination, let Livingston be your home away from home for your Yellowstone National Park vacation that you will remember for a lifetime.
