Silvergate General Store

Last fuel and supplies before entering Yellowstone's northeast entrance, this tiny mountain outpost has served travelers since 1937.

This weathered log building houses the only fuel pump and general store for miles in any direction, making it an essential stop for Beartooth Highway travelers. Limited grocery selection covers the basics — canned goods, snacks, ice, propane exchanges, and overpriced but necessary last-minute camping supplies. The attached cafe serves hearty breakfast and lunch when open.

Silvergate itself is barely more than a handful of buildings clustered at 7,400 feet elevation. The store operates seasonally, typically May through October, matching Yellowstone’s northeast entrance schedule. Premium pricing reflects the remote location, so stock up in Red Lodge if possible.
