Recreation

Bozeman is located at the juncture of Rocky Mountains and Montana central plains that offers great skiing, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, fishing and other recreational opportunities. Once you've experienced the mountain life of outlying Bozeman, you won't want to go anywhere else. In Bozeman, you can jump on your mountain bike and be at awesome hills in the matter in minutes.

The surrounding mountains are a cross-country ski mecca. If you prefer downhill skiing, the best in the country is to be found at Bridger Bowl ski area. This still-uncrowded ski area has great powder through much of the season, and awesome views.

Fishing along the Madison, Yellowstone and Gallatin rivers is incomparable -- unless you compare it to fishing on our numerous mountain lakes and streams. In addition to the shear number of places to wet a line in southwest Montana, you will experience an abundance of wild trout.

This area is a wildlife lovers dream. Our proximity, close to Yellowstone Park, blesses us with numerous big game: deer, moose, elk and even bison! But be careful, we also have mountain lions, bears, and wolves. And those lovely moose have been known to charge an unwitting camper now and again, so it is best to be prepared with some wilderness wisdom before seeking the truly wild areas of the region.
