Access to Yellowstone and snow-capped mountain views in Red Lodge
Red Lodge is known as the gateway to Yellowstone National Park, along the scenic Beartooth Highway, and serves as both a pit-stop for west-bound travelers and a year-round mountain escape for full-time residents. Views of the snow-capped Beartooth Mountains serve as the daily backdrop in Red Lodge, with local businesses selling artwork, outdoor gear, and western fare along Broadway Avenue. “We get a lot of visitors in the summer on their way to the national parks or the Beartooth Mountains,” says Makenzie Ellinger, an administrative assistant with PureWest Real Estate Red Lodge who has lived in the area for her whole life. “A lot of people move here to be closer to the mountains and the outdoor recreation that comes with it."
Red Lodge has great access to the outdoors with mountains, creeks, and open space all around it.
Locals enjoy road cycling along the scenic Beartooth Highway.

The gateway to Yellowstone and the Beartooth Highway
The Beartooth Highway offers panoramic views of snow-topped peaks, lakes and woodlands for around 65 miles to Yellowstone’s Northeast Entrance. One of the most visited National Parks, Yellowstone is known for its diverse wildlife, hiking and volcanic activity. The highway is also lined with popular nearby hiking trails, from Basin Lakes to Silver Run. The Red Lodge Mountain ski area has dozens of slopes and runs, from green to double black diamond. In the summer, the area is popular among mountain bikers and disc golfers. Rock Creek runs just east of downtown Red Lodge and is a popular fly-fishing area for brown and rainbow trout. Lions Park has a large playground, picnic tables and facilities for soccer, basketball, volleyball and horseshoe. In the winter, the soccer field is converted into an ice rink.
In the winter, Red Lodge is known to get high levels of snow. “If you move here, you have to have four-wheel drive,” Ellinger says. “We’re pretty used to the snow here, so it’s typically business as usual apart from a couple bigger storms every year. Then we hunker down. It’s not unusual to get 5 feet of snow during a big storm.”
Rock Creek winds its way through Red Lodge and provides local anglers a perfect fishing resource.
Red Lodge Mountain is 30 minutes away from Luther.
