Red Lodge is a small mountain town in southern Montana. It is a gateway community to Yellowstone National Park from Billings Montana. It is close enough to the Wyoming border that you will most likely enter in and out during a day trip!
My college girlfriend (randomly matched freshman roommate) recently built a home in Red Lodge Montana and we could not wait to visit and made it our next girls trip destination. We enjoy new adventures, good food + drink, and be together – this trip delivered on that and more.
If you are looking for a girls trip destination that is off the beaten path, check out Red Lodge Montana!
