Livingston - Timber Trails
Located on Park Street, the main drag running into downtown Livingston, is my all-time favorite outdoor store. For me, Timber Trails is a place like no other gear shop—and being a gearhead, I have explored countless such enterprises. From the first time I walked into this warm and quaint shop, I knew I had found my gear source for outdoor adventure. Unlike other outdoor stores where “sizing up” is often the norm, you will never have an uncomfortable moment at Timber Trails. In fact it is quite the opposite. The charm and appeal of this shop run so deep that you will find yourself stopping by just to say hello. After experiencing Timber Trails, you may feel disloyal when you venture into other gear stores in search of outdoor apparatus. Whether it be backpacking, mountain biking, skiing, climbing, or just looking the part, Timber Trails has what you need and more. Add to this the fact that this establishment is owned by one of the all-time “best” guys you will ever meet—Livingston native Dale Sexton—who is assisted by a knowledgeable and helpful staff, and you will see what the Timber Trails buzz is all about. Thank you Timber Trails for all of your support!

 

Livingston - Bunkers Design
Just take a look at our website and you will see why we rave about Brad Bunkers and Bunkers Design. After extensive shopping around to find someone to help YCG create a brand identity that would be consistent throughout all of our materials (brochures, case statement, website, blogs, stationary and more), we put our faith in Bunkers Design. This was perhaps the biggest and most important decision we have made in these first two years, because you only get one chance to make a first impression. Brad helped us to develop exactly what we were looking for and has given YCG a very professional and distinguished look. There must be something in the water flowing through Livingston because Brad Bunkers is another one of the “great ones” and is a true gem in what can be a difficult field to navigate. Bunkers Design has clients from all over the globe, so if you are a budding entrepreneur looking for someone to help you launch your new enterprise or are simply looking for a fresh look, then give “the Mayor” a call and you will be thankful you did. Our work would not be possible and we certainly wouldn’t be where we are today without Brad Bunkers. www.bunkersdesign.com (406)222-7566

 

West Yellowstone - Wild West Pizza
Located just off the main drag on Madison Avenue in West Yellowstone is Wild West Pizza. YCG director Michael Leach loves his pizza and the first time he ate at Wild West he was hooked for life. According to Leach, “It is hands down the best pizza anywhere in the region!” To make things better for YCG, Megan Fishback–one of Michael Leach’s dearest friends, a longtime wildlands activists and current YCG board member—married founder and owner of the best pizzeria in the west, Aaron Hecht. Whether you are looking for pizza or a sandwich, one meal at Wild West Pizza and we assure you that you will be back for more. www.wildwestpizza.com (406)646-4400

 

Gardiner - Tumbleweed Bookstore Café
Located on the main drag on Scott Street (highway 89) beside the Flying Pig Raft Store you will find the Tumbleweed Bookstore and Café. Owner Anna Holloway has created an atmosphere and menu that delight residents of Gardiner and leave us all craving more. Whether it is one of their legendary breakfast sandwiches, their smashed lunched paninis, or any of their delectable beverages—such as tea, specialty coffees, or smoothies—this down to earth, small town do–everything bookstore will leave a lasting impression. Add to all of this their natural ingredients, book club, and Anna’s flair for bringing bands to Gardiner to raise money for local non-profits, and we could not recommend a stop at the Tumbleweed highly enough! If you stop by don’t forget to give them a YCG shout out for us… (406) 848-2225
