Guest Access:
The large private circular drive also contains a camping trailer or motor home for summer hook-up with power and water only. Bathroom facilities in the RV should be used for these extra guests.

The Neighborhood:
Mountain Escape sits at the end of its own drive, surrounded by forest on all sides, so it feels far from everything while staying close to Island Park's lakes, rivers and trails.

Summer: Drive your own vehicle into Yellowstone through the West Entrance, about 30 minutes away. Closer to home there's hiking, biking, fishing and ATV riding.

Winter: Island Park is one of the West's best-known snowmobile areas, and you can ride your snowmobile straight from the cabin to the trails. From roughly mid-December to mid-March, you can only enter Yellowstone on a guided snowcoach or snowmobile tour.

Getting Around:
You'll want a car; public transportation here is very limited. The large circular drive has plenty of parking. Yellowstone's West Entrance is about a 30-minute drive away. In summer you can drive your own vehicle into the park. From roughly mid-December to mid-March, the West Entrance is open to guided snowcoach and snowmobile tours only.

Nearest airports:
Idaho Falls Regional: about 90 minutes
Bozeman, MT (Belgrade): about 2 hours
Jackson Hole: about 2 hours
Salt Lake City International: about 4-5 hours

Groceries: For the best selection and prices, stock up in a larger town on the way in, such as Rexburg or Bozeman. If you forget something, Sam Patch Co. on N. Big Springs Loop in Island Park has plenty of items. There's also Market Place and Food Round Up in West Yellowstone, and Dave's Jubilee in Ashton.
