Bozeman

There’s so much to see and do in one of the US’s fastest-growing cities that it might be simpler to ask what not to do in Bozeman. The Montana city, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, is a celebration of all avenues of life: culture, history, heritage and, naturally, the awe-inspiring nature that engulfs the city. Bozeman is conveniently close to Yellowstone National Park; the city is a mere 90 miles to the immensely popular and much-visited park. Yet the ‘Sweet Pea capital’ of the country is so much more than the residence of choice for Yellowstone visitors. An underrated corner of the Mountain West’s unique culture, Bozeman stands as both a pillar of Montana’s slower pace of life while also captivating tourists with its urban vibrancy, especially its thriving arts scene. Everything is on o ff er here, from The Smithsonian a ffi liated Museum of the Rockies to the Bozeman Art Museum, which honors the city’s art heritage. Don’t miss the Gallatin History Museum,

Bozeman's cityscape

housed in what was once the county jail. Standing right in the middle of town, the museum not only o ff ers a cohesive history of Bozeman through its 20,000 historical images, but also of the state of Montana, including both the expedition of American heroes Lewis and Clark and a segment on the historical role of pioneer women. And as the city grows, the nightlife does, too — be sure to grab a drink on West Main Street, or experience true All-American fanfare by catching a ballgame on television or playing pool at The Rocking R Bar. And yet, it's di ffi cult to not highlight the spectacular beauty that characterizes Bozeman and its surrounding vistas. This really is a utopia on earth for nature lovers. The wondrous Gallatin River has something for everyone, whether it be the serene vistas of the rocky canyons, the seemingly never-ending beauty of the fl oral alpine meadows, or the opportunity to go hiking, horseback riding or white-water rafting.
