Hi, I’m Taryn!

Hi, I’m Taryn!

I travel extensively, I kinda like to hike and think of myself as "outdoorsy," and I'm a wannabe photographer. I'm glad you're here and hope you'll stay awhile!

Let’s connect on Instagram!

📍 Pine Creek Falls in Paradise Valley - between Gardiner and Livingston, Montana

Paradise Valley is rightfully named; there are so many incredible things to do in this area! Pine Creek Falls is an awesome, easily-accessible hike near Yellowstone and Bozeman. ~2.5-mile roundtrip, some modest elevation gain. You can continue on another 4ish miles to the lake!

It's popular, but even on a gorgeous summer weekend, it wasn't outrageously busy. You can also camp at the trailhead 🏕 

Afterward, grab a beer and live music at nearby @pinecreeklodge

Do you believe in haunted hotels? Would you stay in one? What if it was one of Anthony Bourdain's favorites in the world?

📍 The historic Murray Hotel in downtown Livingston, Montana

The late Anthony Bourdain named The Murray one of his top 10 hotels in the entire world - numerous times. Right up there with the iconic Chateau Marmont and other internationally-renowned hotels...this humble hotel in equally-humble Livingston. Specifically, he loved the Peckinpah Suite and the Murray Bar downstairs.

If you ever watched Parts Unknown or No Reservations, you may know Bourdain had a longtime love affair with Montana. I gotta say, I get it! 🤪 

The Murray was built in 1904, has hosted countless celebs and dignitaries over its century-plus, and is supposedly haunted. It's not even a full block from the former train depot, which was BIG industry in Livingston for decades, so it's no surprise it was the happening spot.

I stayed in one of The Murray's 25 rooms, originally built (unsurprisingly) for long-time stays, set up like an apartment. I love unique stays like this, they have so much more character than cookie-cutter chain hotels! The whole vibe is just...different, imagining all the things that have happened inside those walls.

If you've seen my stories the past few days, you know I went to Gardiner, Montana, the teeny-tiny community at Yellowstone's north entrance. [If you didn't see the stories, they're now a highlight!]

The devastating flooding in June hit Gardiner the hardest. Y'all probably saw the now-famous home that fell into the river in one piece - that was Gardiner. BUT amazingly, the community has largely returned to normal. Businesses just outside the park are open, the river has returned to nearly normal flow rates and clarity. Should be business as usual, except...it's a ghost town.

While 90ish % of the park has since reopened (amen! 🙏), the north entrance remains closed - because the road looks like this in five places. That means that although people have resumed visiting iconic sites like Old Faithful and traffic elsewhere in the park has returned to normal parking lot conditions, Gardiner has been largely forgotten about. 

Here's the thing...

This is an unprecedented opportunity to experience a different Yellowstone. A Yellowstone you can enjoy largely to yourself, sharing it with no one but wildlife. Free of traffic and crowds of impatient tourists. Although you can't drive into the north entrance, you can take a whole slew of different tours or hire a guide, or hike or bike some limited routes (including to Mammoth Hot Springs!). 

This goes for Gardiner itself too. Most of the outfitters, accommodations, and restaurants/shops in town are OPEN and ready for business, ready to show you this other side of Yellowstone that's here for just a limited time. These aren't corporations that can afford to have an off season, y'all. They're small, family-owned businesses that depend ENTIRELY on having a strong summer season. There's no sugar coating it, this community NEEDS our support. 

If you've been considering taking a trip to Yellowstone or canceled one earlier this summer, reconsider. Go [re]discover the charms of Gardiner - check the highlight for all the ways you can and please help spread the word that Gardiner is open! We've met so many people that honestly didn't realize it's accessible!
