As a big "Yellowstone" fan, I always wanted to travel to Montana for one reason: to embrace my inner Beth Dutton. Yes, because she's with Rip Wheeler — otherwise known as the hottest foreman on the ranch — but also because she has impeccably bold style. With this in mind, I imagined arriving to Montana to see handsome cowboys in hats and jeans, bison roaming around freely, and open landscapes that looked just as beautiful as they do on TV. But here's the reality of visiting Yellowstone in the winter: it is very, very cold. As much as I wanted to embrace Beth's western-chic aesthetic, the snow, wind, and temperature had other plans. Of course, this is one of the downsides of traveling to Yellowstone in the winter, but you won't really care what you look like as long as you're warm. So here's my packing list for Yellowstone in the middle of winter. Don't worry, you can still rock a cowboy-core aesthetic even while staying warm — just take notes on what I packed below. — Taylor Andrews, balance editor |
