Dog Sledding comes to Yellowstone FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lisa Coleman (406) 223-7939 (Gardiner, Mt.)
Two vacation destinations, located at the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park, have teamed with a local dog sledding company to offer guests an adventure they’ll never forget. The eco-friendly Bear Lair Lodge and Sunny Slope Lodges, both located outside Gardiner, Mt., have joined with Jason Matthews, owner of Yellowstone Dog Sled Adventures. Participants have the chance to see elk, moose, deer, wolves, coyotes and even bison with Matthews and his team of amazing dogs. With no mechanical noise bouncing off trees, only the rhythmic padding of the Alaskan huskies, riders can enjoy the majestic views in snowy, quiet splendor.Guests can also luxuriate in a natural hot spring soak or get a good workout with a cross-country ski or snowshoe hike and come home to a comfortable, cozy cabin nestled in the Absaroka National Forest. “Our goal is for each guest to have the best possible experience in Yellowstone and they can pick from a myriad of adventures to fit their groups needs and desires,” said lodge owner Lisa Coleman. For more information on dog sled excursions and other winter packages, contact the lodge at (406) 223-793.

This rustic yet modern lodge located in the historic mining town of Jardine, Montana, is just five miles from the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. We are surrounded by the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness and Forest Service land - a perfect spot to base out of for the endless activities offered here. Cross country skiing, horseback riding, rafting down the Yellowstone River, hiking, fly fishing world-renowned streams, and jaunts into Yellowstone - just to name a few are all just a few minutes away.
We have recently renovated this three-bedroom, one-and-one-half bath, 2000-square-foot lodge. There is new log furniture, appliances, tile shower, sheets, towels, pillowtop mattresses, etc. You can relax in a hammock amid the Aspen and Spruce trees and listen to Bear Creek while cooking dinner on the new gas grill. We are in a secluded setting allowing you to soak in the mountain view, ski or hike out the front door, and truly enjoy a Montana vacation. The town of Gardiner is a short drive away allowing to shop and eat out if you choose. We are happy to help you plan your vacation as it can be overwhelming with so many adventures to enjoy.

"Cabin is rustic yet with modern accomodations. The sound of the creek eased us to sleep every night. It was nice to be away from and above town. Our kids asked if we could move here."
"We truly enjoyed our stay. It's obvious how much work you have put in to make this place warm and inviting. The attention to detail is awesome.....

Please be patient as we continue renovation on the lodge. Things are progressing well so we are hoping to have new pictures soon. This is a wonderful place to base from as you explore Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area.
