The drive between Bozeman and West Yellowstone along The Gallatin River is a great way to see the beautiful scenery and wildlife outside of Yellowstone NP. It’s about a 90 mile drive one way. We saw elk and moose along the way.

The Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, preserves and tells the stories of Montana and the Northern Rocky Mountains, educating visitors about the region's rich history, which includes its paleontological roots. Located at 600 West Kagy Boulevard, it was founded in 1957. Its collections focus on the physical and cultural history of the Rocky Mountains and the people and animals who have lived there, dating back more than 500 million years. The museum houses the largest collection of dinosaur remains in the United States, possessing the largest Tyrannosaurus skull ever discovered, as well as the thigh bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex that contains soft-tissue remains. The museum's collections have grown to include 300,000 objects that cover more than 500 million years of history. In 1980, the museum acquired over 10,000 photographs and negatives from the heirs of Albert, Alfred and Chris Schlechten that chronicle the Bozeman and Yellowstone National Park areas over two generations, from 1905 until the late 1970s. Other permanent exhibits include: "Enduring Peoples," which chronicles the life of Native Americans on the Northern Plains and near the Rocky Mountains; "History of the Northern Rocky Mountain Region," whose inhabitants included Native Americans, fur traders, gold seekers and white settlers from the frontier days through World War II; the Living History Farm, which includes the Tinsley House, where costumed interpreters demonstrate life in a turn-of-the-century home; and the Taylor Planetarium, a 104-seat domed theater. The 100-year-old Tinsley House is preserved as a living history museum where visitors learn about the life of the Tinsley family and others who lived at the time. The house includes a functioning outhouse, water pump and kitchen where food typical of the time is sometimes prepared. The Tinsleys migrated west during the Civil War and worked in Virginia City, Montana, then relocated to the Gallatin Valley. The house was built in 1889 and provides an overview of homestead life in the 1800s in the Gallatin Valley. The newest addition to the complex, the $4 million, 20,000-square-foot Curatorial Center for the Humanities, will provide storage and curatorial space for the museum's humanities collection, which includes art and archaeological, historic, Native American and photographic items.

Montana Grizzly Encounter is a grizzly bear rescue and educational sanctuary.
Reviewed By lindsayhJ7204SY
We visited the sanctuary for a couple hours, after hearing good things about the people who own it and wanting to see grizzly bears up close. We were not disappointed! The bears were so majestic and fun to watch, and the staff were so friendly and informative. We learned so much about bears, and heard the stories of the rescues there, which in some cases was enough to make me want to cry. I am so thankful to know that there are people and places like this one who give these bears the best life possible when a wild existence is not possible for them. We can't wait to visit again!
