You’ll want to allow yourself plenty of time to take advantage of all that Targhee National Forest has to offer. On several million acres, waterfalls cascade down volcanic cliffs, and crystal clear pools provide some of the best cutthroat trout fishing in the world. Rafters and tubers frolic in the shadows of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, and the smell of campfires makes you feel like an Oregon Trailer. Ancient rock formations sprout wildflowers, providing a scenic spot to boulder or rock climb, and Big Spring & Palisades Reservoir boasts over 70 miles of shoreline to bask in the sun after a long day of hiking. Two of the trails here access the high-altitute Alaska Basin, as well as trails in Grand Teton National Park. You’ll also be right next to the city of Idaho Falls, perfect for stocking up on the essentials before a full day of exploring grizzly bear habitats and karst limestone formations, all under the watchful eye of the snow-peaked Tetons!

Adventuring in the largest national forest in Montana should definitely be added to your summer (or winter!) to do list. Activities abound in The Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, including wilderness trekking, scenic drives to killer views, camping among smallish forest sites, downhill and cross-country skiing in the winter, lake fishing, picnicking, and exploring historic wild-west ghost towns in the summer. You can also check out parts of the Continental Divide trail which crosses through this park, and cheer on thru-hikers in the final stretch of their epic journey. You may just have to flip a coin to decide between the plethora of outdoor fun in this 3.35 million acre forest. The choice is yours, all you have to do is pick one and get going!

Weekend Trip to Starlight Retreat Yellowstone
Absolutely loved our beautiful glampsite on the way to Yellowstone National Park! Didn’t know it came with great perks like the welcome center, friendly staff, towels for showering, a community fire pit, a map, etc! Sure it can be colder at night with the high altitude but I slept very comfortably with the fuzzy blankets provided. It was such an aesthetic way to camp and I will never go back to regular camping LOL. Very responsive and friendly host, and super helpful and chill staff! One guy even gave me his personal floss when I had an “floss emergency” lol. Absolutely loved it here! 1000000/10 would stay again and bring more friends :)

Everything was great! We had some issues getting there because of road closures due to a fire, but they were very helpful with instructions for late check in. They had also texted us earlier in the day to check in and welcome us. The tipi was comfy and cozy and the shower houses were very clean and a short walk away. Very welcoming and chill atmosphere.

Our family had a great time staying here in one of the tipis. By far the highlight of our stay was the full view of the night sky. Camp host was great, and had everything we needed! Would happily recommend this for those seeking a more unique experience.

Greeted by a helpful and happy staffer for early check-in. The sleeping space was clean on entry. Beds/linens were clean and warm. Enough blankets and comforter heft to keep everyone warm dung a 42 degree evening. Bathrooms were clean. Outstanding stay! W Yellowstone 20 mins away. Would go back for sure.

Enjoyed the s’mores and camaraderie with the other campers. Even though it was a bit chilly, (41 degrees in late June) the “glamping” experience was unique for two senior adults and two teenage girls!

The bell tents were so very cute and cozy! We loved the solar charging and lights! The beds were extremely comfy! The staff at Starlight and so kind and easy to talk to and they were helpful and outgoing! We enjoyed relaxing by the community fire and playing the yard games. The wild flowers, everywhere were gorgeous! We absolutely loved our stay here and will recommend Starlight Retreat to others.
