I enjoyed your video. Great narration with just the right amount of background music without blaring noise. THANKS! Your area is beautiful. I forgot how nice it is.
I also like crossing the bridge from Tower. Going to Lamar. Big gravel lot. Walking down to confluence. Barronette ascent is best up ridge from ice box canyon. Right up ridge.
You also can walk right into Beartooth. Best to go to up past top if world below pass right out to Spirit Mountain. The fire tower is above bear maul bowl. Woods. Meadows. Behind it is peak but go up the n west small one. Mile walk out.

Northeast is best area of Yellowstone. Mammoth to here. Tower. Blacktail. Pebble. Easy down to North Rim. Barronette is my favorite peak out of 100s I have been up.
Love this video quick question. Does the town close down during winter? I know the pass closes during winter and im guessing you would have to come up the other way?
Thank you so much! I did ask just about everyone I met if they are there in the winter. As I understand it, there's something like 60 full-time residents (maybe a little more.) The back country skiing there is quite the destination for people who are into that. So to answer you question, the town doesn't close down completely...some businesses do as the owners also live somewhere else during the winter and only come out for the summer. I'm not sure of the pass situation. I know driving into town can be difficult so some people park outside of town and snow mobile in.
Stayed there back in the late 70's. Two more times since. All of them in the same cabin. Best nights sleep I think I ever had. Totally awesome and thanks
I worked for Betty and Mort while they were building the motel. He added the game room, remodeled the Ma Perkins kitchen. He also bought the Corral and turned it into Elkhorn Pizza. When he started remodeling my cabin out back I lived in the new motel a couple months. He built quite the Empire those years. Worked in every business they had. Happy to see the motel with happy owners. A lot of blood sweat and tears went into those businesses.
Phenomenal! This is AWESOME! What a cool perspective on what it's like to be a tourist in Silver Gate and the surrounding areas, so many activities and experiences one can have. Well done!
Really enjoyed your videos on Cooke City. My first visit was in June of '83. Curious: how many residents winter over? I heard one business owner in another of your videos mention a large number of summer cabins but nothing about the winter population. Thnx, Tom
I think I heard it's around 60 people in Cooke City. Most people get around with snow mobiles in town during the winter. Thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comments!
@@swoonfilms Appreciate the reply. Your videos have reignited my interest in Cooke City. Spending an entire winter there sounds like a great adventure. AND an awesome chance to catch up on some reading.
Alpine inn is my go to for staying in winter also, snowmobiling is expensive need to save where I can I sure hope I can make it out there this winter again. Thanks for taking care of me in the past
Yay Ben & Vanessa! This is an awesome film about your businesses and the area!! Your ice-cream comments are hilarious! EVERYONE needs to stop in for locally sourced goods, ice cream, and to book a guided ski trip or avalanche class for this winter!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge about the area and the amazing local events and community!
What an amazing moment in time to document for these local businesses in Cooke City! Such great history and insight into the local business owners and what they love about the area! Well done Wendi! Loved learning more about Scott and Vicki, thank you for creating these!!! Phenomenal!
