Bozeman is the gem of Big Sky Country, bustling with activities for all seasons. Winter brings powder to the peaks at Bridger Bowl Ski Area and nearby Big Sky Ski Resort, while the spring brings high waters and thrilling rafting on the Gallatin River. Summer is splendid for backpacking the Gallatin Divide, and fall colors bring nearby Yellowstone Park to life as the wildlife come out to mate. The city's cultural scene thrives with annual events like the American Indian Pow Wow and the rodeo.

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 Last Wind-Up has been providing Bozeman with quality timepieces and watch service for over 25 years. A downtown institution, the shop also houses many interesting items not for sale, such as a vintage time-lock safe, a reconstructed Central European tower clock, and antique watchmaking tools that are sure to pique your curiosity.

Very interesting watch and clock shop with a wide selection of old and new watches, beautiful antique cabinetry housing their timepieces, old gramophones, and men's shaving items from days-gone-by (bristle brushes, razors, soaps). The antique clocks are amazing and the new novelty clocks are a delight. We were referred to them for watch batteries...had 3 changed and bought a novelty clock (crazy cat with yarn pendulum). Cooper and the other clerk were polite, informative and friendly. We will be going back and taking our friends! Loved it!

A good fishing river.
Reviewed By from4corners
The Gallatin offers a little something for everyone. Starts in Yellowstone park and ends at the Headwaters State park outside of 3 Forks MT. Upper river great for Fly fishing. Middle section that goes through the Gallatin canyon is great for whitewater rafting and kayaking. Tours are available through Montana whitewater. Lower river widens and deepens outside of Manhatten MT and you can fish from a boat from here to the headwaters of the Missouri. Excellent trout fishery through out!

This is a nice dog park with gravel trails. Plenty of places to dump the waste in bags that are provided. All of the dogs and owners were well behaved. It was a great find for a dog on a road trip. If it is hot - there isn't a lot of shade outside of a small pavilion.
