Here is a little about my town....I Love
This Place!
Welcome to Ennis! A lively little Cowboy
Town in the heart of the Madison Valley Montana on the Madison
River with friendly people and good neighbors. If you are trying to find that
special small town, look no further. It has been voted one of the top 20 towns
to live by Amercian Cowboy.
The fishing is superb and the
hunting is even better. Ennis and Cameron boast huge herds of Elk and Antelope
as well as Mule Deer, White Tail Deer, Moose, Bear, Wolf and Mountain
Lion.
Living in the Madison
Valley is like living in a post card. Madison Valley elevation is approximately 5000’
with surrounding peaks ranging to 11,300’. The Madison County is known for its “Blue Ribbon”
Trout streams, gorgeous lakes brimming with fish, fabulous hunting, hiking,
biking, skiing, snow mobiling, white water rafting, and panoramic mountain
scenery. The Madison Valley is bordered by the Centennial Range on the south, the Tobacco Root
Range to the north, the Gravelly Range to the west and the Madison Range to the east. The Madison River flows north to Three Forks
where it converges with the Gallatin and
Jefferson
Rivers.
The lively western town of Ennis has a population of about 1200 and is one of
Montana’s best
loved small towns. It offers outstanding
restaurants, a supermarket, golf course, medical clinic, hospital, emergency
helicopter services to larger medical facilities, also a variety of fishing and
hunting outfitter shops, which offer guide services. Just about six miles south of Ennis is a small
airport which has a lighted runway and jet fuel.
The town of West
Yellowstone also has an airport which is open from June 1
to October 1. Gallatin Field Airport
in Bozeman is
about 100 miles to the north and is open all year. Idaho Falls Airport is 100 miles to the south and it
is also open all year. There are hub
airports in Newark, Salt Lake
City, Denver, Minneapolis, and Atlanta
that have connecting flights to Gallatin Field and Idaho Falls
airports.
The city of Bozeman is about an hour’s drive. It is
the home to Montana State
University. Bozeman has about 40,000 residents plus a large
student population. Bozeman has many cultural
events as well as world class shopping and fine dining. Gallatin Field Airport
is located on the outskirts of Bozeman.

have multiple daily flights to and from their hubs in Salt
Lake City, Minneapolis and Denver. Private aircraft can use a variety of services
from the fixed based operations at Gallatin Field.
West
Yellowstone is a small Montana town surrounded
by National Forests and Yellowstone National

Park's west entrance is located right in West Yellowstone and is the closest and
easiest route to Old Faithful and Yellowstone's
