WEST YELLOWSTONE, MONTANA
West Yellowstone is located approximately 95 miles from the Bozeman Airport. In the winter, we offer a daily scheduled service to all locations within the city limits of West Yellowstone. Please allow up to 3 or more hours for this trip because there are often stops in Big Sky.

The drive to Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel is approximately 2.5 hours, depending on weather, traffic, and road conditions. Due to winter flight delays and cancellations, we strongly recommend that you arrive the day before whenever possible, especially if you are coming for a packaged tour or program with the Yellowstone Institute.

How does Karst Stage ensure that I will be driven by the best commercial drivers in the business?
First, Karst has the driver go through a thorough interview and application process. We require a pre-employment drug screen and we do extensive background checks on all prospective drivers. We verify their driving record, previous employment and DOT drug and alcohol testing.
Previous employers are contacted, and former drug testing results, along with other employee behaviors, are reviewed. Once hired, Karst’s Drug and Alcohol policy exceeds the federal guidelines for CDL drivers. All Karst Stage drivers, regardless of the vehicle size, are required to have a CDL and are subject to the same training, testing, and drug and alcohol testing.
Where are you located?
Our counter is located inside the main passenger terminal on the street level in Ground Transportation.

Our daily scheduled service is a shared-ride service provided by passenger van, mini-bus, or full-sized bus, depending on location and the number of passengers scheduled on each run.
