Episode 201: Christmas in Red Lodge, Montana Looking for a holiday getaway that feels straight out of a postcard?

Red Lodge, once a bustling coal-mining town in the 1800s, is now best known as the gateway to the Beartooth Highway. But come December, it transforms into a festive haven filled with twinkling lights, family traditions, and a community spirit that makes the holidays unforgettable. Joining us is Sherry Weimer , director of the Red Lodge Chamber of Commerce, who shares why families should plan a Christmas trip to this hidden gem.
