Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Population 100, Cooke City is located just a few miles from the northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Wherever you go in Cooke City, you are bound to find a piece of history. Established in 1882 as a gold mining town, the city was located in a Crow Reservation. Today, it is sleepy little place where everything is slow, including the traffic – dogs, buffalos, bears, moose, and pedestrians have the right of way. Cooke City is a great gateway for all kinds of adventures in the surrounding wilderness.
There is something for everyone, from kayaking, hiking, and biking in the summer to snowshoeing, skiing, ice climbing and ice fishing in the winter. There are several delightful galleries in town that show and sell Western art.
It is a great place to meet young folks from all over the world who come during the tourist summer season to work in local hotels and other tourist-oriented businesses and have a few adventures while they are there.
