Description:
Originally occupied by Native Americans for thousands of years, this special place along the Absaroka Mountains was named after the Crow Indian Nation. Captain William Clark’s expedition brought some of the first white men to travel through this area. He, with his men and Sacajawea, stopped here along the great bend of Yellowstone to rest and eat on July 15, 1806. Livingston sits between the Gallatin and Crazy Mountain ranges and surrounded by the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area, the town of Livingston is nestled along the free flowing Yellowstone River. Main Street and the historic districts are reminders the city’s bygone golden era. The downtown buildings from the 1880s and 90s still stand as a testimony of the old west and give Livingston its special turn-of-the-century charm. Because of its historic flavor and beautiful natural surroundings, Livingston has also been seen on the silver screen in several movies, including the very popular A River Runs Through It.Over the decades, Livingston has become an arts mecca with many artists and writers living in the area. The downtown area has over 15 art galleries, and there are over 200 artisans throughout Park County.For adventure, whitewater rafting is very popular on the Yellowstone River, and there are plenty of trails to hike, bike, birdwatch, horseback ride, hunt, fish, golf, ski, rock climb and camp in the area. For a western-life experience, there are working ranches in the area that are willing to take in a tenderfoot too. Ranked as the nation’s tenth top rodeo over the Independence Holiday, the Livingston Roundup is held every year July 2-3-4 and draws competitors and visitors from all over the USA and Canada.
