West Yellowstone is a working gateway town, and Three Bear Lodge fits that character: unpretentious, friendly and practical. Its location means you can walk to the entrance-area businesses, grab breakfast and be inside the park within minutes in summer, or step out to meet your snowcoach in winter. Spring brings bison calves to the meadows along the Madison River, and fall brings the elk rut, both within an easy drive of the lodge.
Booking craft: request a family or multi-unit room for groups, ask about the restaurant's seasonal hours, and book snowcoach or snowmobile tours as soon as winter dates are set, since popular days sell out. In summer, start early to beat the line at the West Entrance and head for the Madison and Firehole river corridors to Old Faithful and Grand Prismatic Spring.
Practicals: 217 Yellowstone Avenue, West Yellowstone, two blocks from the West Entrance. The entrance is closed to cars from November 1 until the over-snow season starts mid-December, and reopens to cars in spring. Fit: families, winter snowcoach and snowmobile travelers, and first-timers.
