Park County, Montana
Park County is a slice of Montana paradise, just north of Yellowstone. Livingston is the county seat, where cowboys rub shoulders with artists and fly fishermen.
The Yellowstone River runs through the county, offering world-class fishing and rafting. The Crazy Mountains rise to the east, their jagged peaks serving as a constant reminder of Montana’s wild heart.
You might spot a few Hollywood types around here, as the area has become a low-key celebrity hideout. But locals don’t make a fuss. They’re too busy enjoying the outdoors. The wind here is legendary. It’ll blow you away, literally.
