Events

In February, Bear Creek’s annual Jardine Ski Race attracts cross-country skiers of varying ability and non-skiers for a friendly citizens ski run and. It’s always interesting to see who will show up with the funniest ski hat or costume. For details, watch this space and The Plains Truth, Northern Plains’ newsletter.

About Us
Bear Creek Council is based in Gardiner, Montana. Gardiner is a gateway into Yellowstone National Park. We work closely with park rangers and local citizens to make our community a better place to live and work.
History
Local citizens started Bear Creek Council in 1983 when hard-rock mining was revived on the boundary of Yellowstone National Park, in Jardine on the banks of Bear Creek. Since that time, Bear Creek Council has worked to minimize the mine’s impact on the area, including monitoring its reclamation. Today, our projects include other resource issues affecting the Gardiner Basin.
