Welcome To Cooke City!!

Established in the early 1880's, the town still has a rustic, "old West" atmosphere, which can be traced to its mining roots.  Today, surrounded by National Forest, wilderness, and Yellowstone National Park, the area is an outdoor recreationists dream.

Elevation: 7,800 feet   Population: 90

Spectacular scenery, world-class fishing and miles of wilderness fulfill any outdoor enthusiast's expectations!
