Visiting Bozeman this summer? Help me help you. I'm not here to beat up on tourists that are so vital to our local economy, but I AM here to make your vacation a bit more hassle free, for those of us who are already dealing with an enormous influx of new residents and a larger Montana State population.
I'm a big fan of my front yard but 'Uncle Gordon's' place south of Cameron in the Madison Valley is by far my absolute, hands down favorite place in Montana.
Most of southwest Montana is in a precarious position through at least Monday morning due to rainfall and swelling rivers and creeks. The Yellowstone River in particular is facing several issues including Flash Flood Watches.
All we have to do is walk, hike or bike the trails in the Gallatin Valley then log our miles. It's the easiest task I do each day during the month of June, and it benefits the Gallatin Valley Land Trust and the important work they do.
The gorgeous stretch of the Bitterroot River, south of Missoula is experiencing minor flooding now and is under a Flood Advisory until Tuesday evening.
Areas near White Sulphur Springs and Townsend are expected to receive heavy rainfall at times on Saturday, with possible flash flooding of the Woods Creek and Deep Creek burn scars.
The historic Ellen Theater in downtown Bozeman will become filled with fly fishing (and film making) fans on Friday, June 3rd for the International Fly Fishing Film Festival.
You'll have to do a lot more work these days to get the hell away from other people in Montana, but IT IS still possible. We just have to adjust our destinations and find legal lands or State Parks that aren't at the top of everyone's list.
Far southern Park and Gallatin Counties could see up to THREE FEET of fresh snow by noon on Tuesday in the high elevations. Lower elevations, including Yellowstone National Park will probably receive many inches of heavy, wet snow as well.
Camps, groups, lessons and classes are almost completely full with the City of Bozeman but we did some digging and found all the classes that still have openings for your kiddos.
This 106 acre piece of land that sits directly on Flathead Lake is located in the small community of Somers, Montana. It is now Montana's 56th state park, the first park created in 3 years.
