Gardiner Lodging Policies
Yellowstone North Entrance Temporarily Closed
The North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park remains temporarily CLOSED due to extensive damage to roads and infrastructure caused by recent flooding.
With the road closures, The Ridgeline Hotel® at Yellowstone and Jim Bridger Explorer Cabins are currently closed, and your reservation will be canceled. We will do our best to call or email you regarding your reservation and we are working to re-open as soon as possible.
However, the Upper and Lower Loops are now open to all visitors (visitors will need to enter through the West, South, or East entrances). We encourage you to consider a stay at one of our West Yellowstone hotels or cabins. The Rusty Rail Lounge in Gardiner is also open daily from 4 PM to closing.
