From the Town Center, We Can Just Make Out the Bridge and Straight Beyond, the White Buildings of the Hillcrest Motel
“The town is on high banks on either side of a bridge over a river which rushes over smooth and clean boulders“ Gardiner MT In contrast to the locations of the ZMM Hotel in North Dakota, Miles City MT and Laurel MT, there is absolutely no doubt about the structures making up the present day Hillcrest Motel in Gardiner MT: Straight across the bridge and on the opposite steep river hillside, there it is! The Yellowstone River in this area indeed does “ rushes over smooth and clean boulders“! Famous for mountain trout fishing, anglers come from around the word to stay for a week at the Hillcrest Motel and have a “fishing vacation’ in the Yellowstone!!
