Cooke City is a unique mountain town located near the Northeast entrance of Yellowstone Park and at the base of the mighty Beartooth Mountains. A 3 hour drive from Bozeman Montana, Cooke City is a dead end town in the winter, only accessible by car from the West (through Yellowstone Park), or via snowmobile from the East (from Cody, Wyoming and Billings, Montana). A consistently deep and reliable snowpack makes Cooke City an amazing backcountry ski and snowmobile destination, from November through June every year.
SNOWMOBILE REGULATIONS & PERMITS
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL REQUIRED PERMITS FOR SNOWMOBILING IN MONTANA AND WYOMING. WE SELL MONTANA PERMITS ON-SITE AT THE EXXON.
APPROACHING COOKE CITY FROM EAST HWY 212 (RED LODGE, MT OR CODY, WY):
Due to “The Plug” of Highway 212 during Winter, Cooke City is only accessible by snow machine from Dec 1st until Spring (Date is Weather Dependent). “The Plug” is a 9 mile stretch of groomed trail from Pilot Creek, WY to Cooke City, MT. With “The Plug” spanning across state borders, all users are required to carry both a Wyoming & Montana snowmobile permit to access this terrain.
APPROACHING COOKE CITY FROM WEST HWY 212 (YELLOWSTONE NATL PARK):
If you’re traveling through Yellowstone, you’ll just need to cover any fees associated with entering the National Park (We recommend a annual pass). Upon arriving in Cooke City, you’ll just need a Montana Snowmobile permit to recreate in the area.
