'Tis the Season


Thanksgiving is over (as well as our food comas) and the Holidays are approaching quickly. The lights are strung, the snow is falling and we have plenty of fires to keep warm. All we need is a great event (or a few) to really kick off our winter spirit.

West Yellowstone winters tend to have lots of spirit and fun events to go around. This month there are a lot of great happenings for you to choose from. Check out our local Event Calendar on the Faithful Street Inn website for full December schedule. Here are a few that might pique your interest...

Where's the Snow?

October seemed to come and go quickly in West Yellowstone, dusting the valley with gold and gray tones and leaving a bit of the white stuff on its way out. Now that November is here and winter is closely calling we can't help but wonder, "Where's the snow?" We know it's on its way and we are anxious for all the winter activities awaiting us.

Have you spent time in West Yellowstone in the winter? It's a great time of year to visit our friendly community and the outdoor events are plentiful. Cross country skiing, snowshoeing, Ranger lead walks, wildlife viewing, snowmobiling and tons of special events sprinkled across the season make for a wonderful winter in West Yellowstone. Won't you join us?

Faithful Street Inn still has cabins available for winter guests, but we encourage you to book fast as winter is a very popular time here. Just one visit will show you why!

Do you have a great Winter West Yellowstone story? We would love to hear it and add it to ours - post in the comments below!
