What makes Livingston, Montana the gateway to Yellowstone National Park? Favorite small town in USA. Livingston Montana is about 20 mins drive from Bozeman Montana, a scenic drive going through the Bozeman pass. Once you arrive in Livingston you will find the most welcoming people.
In Montana, no one cares about your political view whether Blue or Red, collecting food stamps or live on a million dollar ranch, the locals are genuinely nice. They treat everyone the same, you may find a Hollywood actor sitting next to you at a table in a restaurant.
But no one notices except you. They would serve that A-list Hollywood Actor like any ordinary diner.
The best time to visit Livingston would be in the summer during July 4th. Livingston would be welcoming everyone throughout the country wanting to see the 4th of July parade and the Livingston Roundup Rodeo.
While in Livingston, you obviously have to visit Yellowstone National Park. Once there you will see how special that place is. The beauty and the power of nature.
If you are lucky enough, you will be able to see one of the most dangerous creatures on this planet the grizzly bear or the sheer power of the Yellowstone super Volcano by visiting Old faithful geyser.
