Yellowstone, Big Sky and the hot springs are spread out. Most trips here start with a rental car from BZN.
Rental cars
Most visitors fly into Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), where the major rental counters sit next to baggage claim. A car is the easiest way to see the region: the West and North entrances of Yellowstone are roughly 1½–2 hours away, Big Sky about an hour, and there is little public transport between them.

From mid-December most park roads are open only to guided over-snow trips, while the road through Lamar Valley stays open for wolf watching. These tours run in winter. November: only the north road (Gardiner – Mammoth – Lamar – Cooke City) is open to cars, and north-road tours such as the VIP North Yellowstone Winter Excursion run then.
A private 4WD day through the North Entrance: wildlife, Mammoth Hot Springs and the northern range. Runs November to April, Tuesday to Thursday.
