MONTANA GARDINER Nature's Favorite Entrance to Yellowstone National Park (Travel Guide)  On March 1st, 1872, an unprecedented opportunity took place that would forever shape the future of the rough-and-tumble community of Gardiner, Montana. That year, President Ulysses S. Grant signed into law a Congressional act that protected nearly 2.2 million acres that would later become known as Yellowstone National Park. Before Yellowstone was established Gardiner was mostly populated by prospectors and fur traders—and Native Americans who inhabited the area for thousands of years before them—and was known for being a little disorderly and rough around the edges. In 1902, the Northern Pacific Railroad completed a spur line to Gardiner from Livingston, Montana. (51 miles north), turning the community into a tourist destination. The spur line brought visitors to the Gardiner Depot at the base of Roosevelt Arch—a hallmark of Gardiner as the park’s original entrance. President Theodore Roosevelt dedicated a cornerstone of the arch in 1903 declaring Yellowstone “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People.” The first of its kind, Yellowstone has been a learning experience from the beginning and Gardiner has been a proud partner. Set aside for its geology and natural wonders, the park has also become a refuge for wildlife, a respite from civilization, as well as an ongoing testament to human history in the American West. As Yellowstone’s popularity among visitors continues to grow, gateway communities are working with park managers to secure a successful visitor experience moving into the future.
