Or play hockey at Bogert Park at 325 S. Church Avenue. West Yellowstone, Montana, makes a skating rink each winter on Electric Street, and there's a nifty skating rink at the Mammoth Hotel in Yellowstone National Park. Dad and Mom can relax with a hot chocolate or a snack while you skim across the ice. The rink is open from August to mid-April. Call first, though, because the rink hosts a range of events and isn't always available for public use.
Hours can vary, but usually there's public skate time every day, winter only.
U is for utterly confusing your parents on Uncle Tom's Trail. Turn east off the Canyon-Lake road onto South Rim Drive. Stop at Uncle Tom's parking lot, pile out of the car and look for the signs telling where to go. We must warn you, this is a very strenuous walk, so if anybody in your family has a health problem, you'd better skip this one. V is for Virginia City, Montana.
