About Eldridge Guard Station

Tucked between the majestic Madison and Gallatin Mountain Ranges, Eldridge Guard Station offers adventurers a true wilderness experience in a charming three-room log cabin. This remote outpost serves as your gateway to year-round mountain adventures—from summer hiking and mountain biking to winter cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Embrace the authentic backcountry lifestyle with no electricity or running water, where candlelight dinners and starlit evenings are part of the charm. Wildlife enthusiasts will thrill at the opportunity to share this pristine grizzly bear habitat with some of nature's most magnificent creatures.
Geological RegionThis extraordinary location places you at the convergence of two legendary mountain ranges—the Madison and Gallatin—where geological forces have sculpted a landscape of dramatic peaks and gentle meadows. The guard station rests peacefully at the meadow's edge alongside Taylor Creek, offering front-row seats to one of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem's most pristine grizzly bear habitats, where wilderness remains wonderfully untamed at over 7,000 feet.
