Here at the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, you’ll find small-town Montana charm, natural splendor, and abundant wildlife. Our beautiful landscape—coupled with a colorful history of trappers, miners, and mountain men—make Gardiner a unique “home on the range” for visitors and residents alike. Split by the mighty Yellowstone River and nestled between the Absaroka-Beartooth and Gallatin mountain ranges, Gardiner is surrounded on all sides by approximately 10 million acres of public lands. Year round access to Yellowstone’s Northern Range, known as "the Serengeti of North America," truly differentiates Gardiner from other Yellowstone gateway communities. Whether you seek the quiet splendor of wildlife watching in winter or the thrill of whitewater rafting in summer, we welcome you to stay like a local—hike, soak, ski, fish, raft, and explore our little piece of Big Sky Country.

The purpose of the grant was to develop detailed protocols necessary to monitor the ecological health of Soda Butte Creek and Reese Creek in and near Yellowstone National Park. The main objectives was to compile existing information on these creeks into one database, document the current conditions of Soda Butte and Reese Creeks by a one-time synoptic sampling event, and present recommendations for vital signs monitoring programs tailored to each creek’s needs. The database is composed of information from government projects by the United States Geological Survey and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, graduate student master’s theses, academic research, and private contractor reports. The information dates back to 1972 and includes surface water quality, groundwater quality, sediment contamination, vegetation diversity, and macroinvertebrate populations.
