What to do and see in Bozeman, Montana (MT): The Best Nature & Parks

November 6, 2021 Harland Bartelt

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.

Gallatin Canyon

Reviewed By VacationsRWanderful

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.

Emerald Lake

Emerald Lake is a 9 mile moderate difficulty hike along the beautiful East Hyalite Creek, featuring green meadows and small waterfalls even in the summer. It rises from 7200 ft at the parking lot to almost 9000 feet at the gorgeous lake. This is the the most remote trailhead on the road, but the Hyalite canyon area is popular so you won't likely be alone.

Gallatin River

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!

Bridger Bowl

Reviewed By gramrun - Chicago, United States

My husband and I bought a midweek ski package from Bridger Bowl. This included skiing at Bridger and staying at the Element in downtown Bozeman. We loved both experiences and highly recommend this package! Fern Corwin from Bridger coordinated the details. She was so kind and easy to contact and we even got to meet her in person when we were at Bridger. If you can get away for midweek skiing this is the BEST- no crowds, no lift lines, and lunch at Alpine cabin mid mountain. The Element has a lobby breakfast that is beautiful and bountiful and also a relaxing happy hour . We plan to return next winter.
