Visiting from Billings, Laurel & Red Lodge, Montana
Coming to Indigo Thrive from Billings
Powell is just over the Montana line, a little under two hours from Billings and just over an hour from Red Lodge. Plenty of people from across the border make it a day trip.
From Billings or LaurelI-90 west to Laurel, then US-310 south through Bridger and into Wyoming, and US-14A west into Powell. Roughly 105 miles and an hour and forty-five minutes, all two-lane and easy.
From Red LodgeSouth through Belfry into Wyoming, then on to Powell — a little over an hour.
Make a day of it
Powell is 25 minutes from Cody, so the shop pairs easily with a Cody afternoon — the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, downtown Sheridan Avenue — or with the Heart Mountain WWII Interpretive Center, which sits between the two towns. If you’re coming for aura photography, text ahead so it’s set up when you arrive.
Before you come
The shop is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM. If you’re after something specific, call or text ahead and we’ll set it aside, and let us know if you’d like aura photography so it’s ready when you arrive. Street parking is on North Absaroka.
