Open from 7am til 9pm daily..... costs $8.50 per adult Day Spa:Massages, wraps, spa packages. I recommend calling well in advance for treatments in the summer. They are busy!

City/town information

This town is jumping! With a small year-round population of hardy individuals, this town comes alive in the summer... don't miss the 4th July rodeo & parade. There are exceptional art galleries, great little boutiques & antiques stores, a small but lovely dining scene, live music in the bars. There's also an excellent gourmet wine & cheese shop called, appropriately enough, The Gourmet Cellar! Check it out... On Wednesdays there is a super little Farmer's Market right down by the river in Sacajawea Park from 4.30 - 7.30pm 30 minutes north of the river house.... a visit to Paradise Valley is not complete without spending at least one day in Livingston

Black mountain overlooks Pine Creek Lake. The trail ends at the lake & you have to find your own way up to the peak. It is VERY steep with loose rocks. It is suggested that you have some rock climbing experience to summit Black Mtn 15 miles round trip NOTE: Black Mountain is only for very experienced adventurers

Livingston Eateries

Great for a casual meal. Menu has fish n' chips, burgers, tacos, sushi.... a little bit of everything. The decor is distinctly NOT Western tho', more like a beach shack. Lovely roof deck open usually after 5pm in the summer
