By Junction House

Yellowstone National Park is just 90 minutes away. Here's how to make the most of a day trip from Junction House.

Just 90 Minutes from Yellowstone's West Entrance

Junction House in Deer Lodge is perfectly positioned for a Yellowstone day trip. Hit the road early and you'll be watching Old Faithful erupt before lunch.

Morning: West Yellowstone

Stop in West Yellowstone for coffee and a quick bite. The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is a great warm-up if you're traveling with kids.

Afternoon: Grand Loop Road

Drive the Lower Loop to see Old Faithful, Fountain Paint Pot, and the Grand Prismatic Spring. The colors are unreal — don't forget your camera!

Evening: Back to Junction House

Head back to Deer Lodge for a relaxing evening. Fire up the grill, soak in the hot tub, and plan tomorrow's adventure.
