Things To Do
College 'M' Hike
The Montana State University "College M" in the Bridger Mountains is visible from anywhere in Bozeman. This famous hike takes you up to the M and provides great views of the city of Bozeman. There is a longer, winding trail that is better for beginners. And a shorter, steeper trail that is better for advanced hikers. *If there is any snow or ice on the ground we HIGHLY recommend hiking poles and/ or hiking spikes, which can be fitted over your hiking boots! *
Hyalite Reservoir
Hyalite Reservoir is about 20 miles (40 min drive) South of Bozeman, in the Hyalite Canyon. The reservoir itself is a beautiful sight and the 10.5 mile drive into the Canyon is incredibly scenic. There are numerous hikes of varying difficulty surrounding the reservoir. ** Cell service is limited in the canyon, so plan your hike ahead of time! We recommend hiking poles and/ or hiking spikes if there is any snow or ice on the ground. Hyalite Canyon Road is paved to the reservoir, but we recommend 4 wheel drive given the time of year **
MAP Brewing Company
Bozeman has many local breweries, including MAP Brewing, which is located just north of town and has a beautiful view of the Bridger Mountains. Other breweries to check out: - Mountain's Walking - Montana Ale Works - Bozeman Brewing
Chico Hot Springs
Located in the Absaroka Mountains, about 15 mins south of Copper Rose and 30 mins south of the town of Livingston. Chico Hot Springs sells day passes for their two open-air natural mineral hot springs pools. You can also grab a bite to eat at one of their on-property restaurants while you're there!
