Montana has a hike for everyone, I kid you not, everyone! To illustrate this point, you need to look no further than the paved 1\/2 mile trail to Palisade Falls in Hyalite Canyon. The flip side to this is that there are also plenty of challenging trails<\/a>, that may require more technical gear, and occasionally a trusty can of bear spray. Here are a few hikes that are easy on the soles, yet amazing on the eyes. <\/p>\n First, the Lava Lake Trail (my personal favorite) which is a quick, yet satisfying hike that lets out into to a pristine mountain lake. Second, Storm Castle, this\u00a0is an excellent hike if you are strapped for time or looking for a quick way to burn some calories to a stellar backdrop. Storm Castle\u00a0also features a special treat upon the summit. Finally, Sacajawea Peak (Pictured Above), has stellar views of The Crazy Mountain range as well as the greater Bozeman area.

But alas, it rolls in as a very close second. We are incredibly lucky in Bozeman to be close to so many differing skiing opportunities. There are two very large ski hills near Bozeman; Big Sky Resort and Bridger Bowl, but the ultimate jackpot lies in the exploration of the secret powder stashes in the back country. I find myself fortunate to be able to live in a place, that with a little effort, I can ski year round.<\/p>\n TRG Floats the Madison!<\/p><\/div>\n There are few things in life that are more refreshing on a hot summer day than plopping down on a tube, for a casual float in a river<\/a> cooled by numerous\u00a0mountain streams. Life is swell when the most arduous task of the day is agreeing on the same river. Which happens on occasion, as each river has unique and intriguing features that make it distinct from the others. The Jefferson for example features, a natural cliff to take a plunge off of, charming\u00a0countryside, as well as a bridge that also serves as a place to launch your body into the depths below.\u00a0There was an attempt to eradicate the aforementioned cliff, however\u00a0it still exists and now serves as an even greater dose of adrenaline.<\/p>\n Montana is 2nd in the nation for microbreweries per capita. Within a small radius around Bozeman, we have at least six that I can think of. Each brewery serves its own unique lineup of tasty local brews, some even have food! The majority of breweries are family friendly, so there is no need to worry about leaving the rug-rats behind, bring ’em on down. So, if you find yourself parched on a hot summer day or dying of thirst after a rippin’ day on the ski hill, why not\u00a0stop by a local brewery and wet your whistle. For more information about Bozeman breweries, as well as Montana Breweries, check out the Montana Brewers Association<\/a> webpage.<\/p>\n To be frank, I waited six long years before I ventured to this treasure trove of time-worn\u00a0relics, and what a mistake it was to wait so long. The Museum of the Rockies (MOR) has a massive dinosaur exhibit that houses an astounding array of all elements dinosaur. That’s not all they have to offer though, the MOR features an impressive collection of artifacts from cultures that date from early Native American to end of the wild west. They also have rotating exhibits that change as new exhibits are cycled in. These exhibits add even more intrigue and allure with such exotic collections as:\u00a0Egyptian Mummies, Amazonian Tribal Treasures, even a Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame.
