Outdoor Bozeman


Bozeman Highlights

  • With Gallatin National Forest and Yellowstone National Park in Bozeman's back yard, there's no shortage of fishing, paddling, hiking, and camping spots.
  • Trails ranging from easy to difficult are numerous in all elevations from 4,500 to over 10,000 feet. Try the Main Street to the Mountains trail system, which starts at various points throughout town and leads, you guessed it, to the mountains.
  • Numerous outfitters, resorts, and guest ranches offer horseback riding in the area surrounding Bozeman. Guided trail rides are the norm, though larger pack trips into the nearby mountains are also available.
  • Bozeman anglers looking for a short float on the lower Madison should put in at Beartrap Canyon, about 30 miles west of town on Highway 84. Fish the Madison in the early and late season, when cooler waters keep trout from getting lethargic.
