Explore Meeteetse

Come enjoy our hospitality and meet Meeteetse, Wyoming, where outlaws once rode and cattle barons ruled the land. Where wooden boardwalks, hitching rails and water troughs still line the streets. Where the rugged Absaroka Mountains meet the Wyoming Bad Lands. Wyoming’s best kept secret! Some of the best fishing, hunting, sight seeing and wildlife viewing available anywhere! Make Meeteetse your base camp for your adventure in the West! We are only 80 miles to the East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park and offer endless miles of backcountry access that can lead you all the way into the secluded parts of YNP.

Meeteetse can be the restful base camp for your stay in Wyoming. And remember, watch for wildlife, especially deer, as you travel in the Meeteetse area.
