West Yellowstone Shopping and Districts

(West Yellowstone, Montana - MT, USA)

Whether you are arriving in West Yellowstone to enjoy some serious summer fishing, of winter-related snowmobiling activities, it is quite likely that at sometime you will need to go shopping. Whilst West Yellowstone is quite small in size, it does cater for large numbers of visitors passing through, and so the shopping scene here is really very reasonable.

The shops cater extremely well for fishermen, and in fact, the town is actually home to one of the very best selections of fishing outfitters in the whole of America, suiting those heading into the Yellowstone National Park with their fishing rods. If you are shopping for a souvenir of you vacation, then the best gift ideas tend to follow a strong Western theme, including real Stetson cowboy hats and leather boots to match.

Where to Shop

Locally made handicrafts are very apparent in some gift shops, along with exquisite silver jewelry, figurines and similar collectibles. There are also a number of stores selling paintings, ceramics and wooden furniture.

When shopping in West Yellowstone, start by taking a stroll along Canyon Street, and then along the adjoining Yellowstone Avenue.

Eagle's Store is located on Canyon Street and stands out from the crowd, not only because it has been trading for more than 100 years and contains endless quality souvenirs, but because it boasts its very own traditional soda fountain bar at the very back of the shop, complete with the original wooden countertop and cash register.
