Livingston, Montana
Hollywood loves Livingston, having unpacked its cameras several times for major motion pictures—including “A River Runs Through It”—in this Montana town of 7,000. Still, Hollywood hasn’t spoiled Livingston; though well-known artists and writers have settled here, the place retains its Western charm and authentic connection to the outdoors. The angler-friendly Yellowstone River runs along the southeastern side of town, while Yellowstone National Park sits just 60 miles south. More than 2,000 miles of trails spider-web through the adjacent Gallatin National Forest, and the state’s tallest mountain, 12,799-foot Granite Peak, is found in Livingston’s backyard of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Finally, prodigious snowfall makes for excellent skiing and riding at Bridger Bowl, a 30-mile drive, and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing just about anywhere. Visit Dan Bailey’s Fly Shop (406-222-1673) for fishing tips, Timber Trails (406-222-9550) for hiking and biking gear and Chico Hot Springs Resort (406-333-4933) for a place to sleep—it’s a rustic lodge with a dash of Hollywood.
