In Yellowstone Country, we’re fortunate to have plenty of open spaces—there’s well more than six feet of elbow room! As such, some areas are still holding Independence Day activities. It may look a little different than years past, but the spirit is the same.
Montana is a beautiful place, with miles of public lands. Our residents are a resilient, reliable, and happy lot who look out for one another. We have a lot to celebrate.
We invite you to join us. But please, know the public health guidelines before arriving at your destination. Stay home if you are sick, and understand that some services and destinations may be limited.
