TOM MINER LODGE Emigrant, Montana ©Legacy Lands, LLC www.legacylandsllc.com Tom Miner Lodge Emigrant, Montana Introduction Some of the best things in life are hidden in plain sight, and Paradise Valley’s Tom Miner Basin is definitely one of them. As you approach the Tom Miner Basin turnoff along US Hwy 89, the Paradise Valley view turns into relatively arid rocky hills with dry grass and juniper. Turning off at the Tom Miner Road, you travel via a quaint old iron trussed bridge over the Yellowstone River and begin the ascent into Tom Miner Basin. As you travel along this road, the landscape makes a dramatic change from rocky, dry, juniper-covered hills to lush mountain meadows with thick Aspen groves. Continuing on, you pass neighboring ranches with lush grass and aspen. The panoramic view changes with each season. Spring brings the greening of the grass and the budding of the trees, yet the dramatic mountain peaks keep their blanket of white. Song birds return, and wildflowers pop up through the pastures with the lovely fresh colors of spring. Almost any animal that calls Yellowstone Park home can be seen in the basin. In summer, the valley and mountains take on the lush green of grass and trees. In the fall, the colors change to yellows, oranges and reds, while the mountains begin their transition to white with early snowfall. Winter at Tom Miner Lodge offers the brilliant, sparkling white of snow on the basin floor as well as the mountain peaks. ©Legacy Lands, LLC www.legacylandsllc.com Location This custom home is located in the Tom Miner Basin of Paradise Valley, 39 miles south of Livingston, Montana and 17 miles north of Gardiner, Montana (the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park).
