Every summer, beginning the last week of June, the Bozeman community gathers on Main Street to listen to live music, dance, eat local food, play games and drink adult beverages. Fit for all ages, this community event has been a huge hit every summer and has become an event we all know and love; Music on Main.

Every Thursday evening beginning June 29th and ending August 17th, Main street is closed off to traffic and opened-up for this family-friendly musical event.

South Cottonwood Creek Trail

South Cottonwood Creek Trail ranks number one on my favorite list. The fact that it's fairly close to my house helps (if you're heading west, turn left at the intersection of Cottonwood Rd. and Huffine Ln., travel approximately 7.5 miles to Cottonwood Canyon Rd., which is a dirt road, and follow Cottonwood Canyon Rd. to its termination point and the trailhead will be on your right). The trail parallels South Cottonwood Creek for most of its duration, and rather than being an all-up and then all-down type of trail, South Cotton follows rolling terrain right up to the southwestern flank of Mt. Blackmore (approx. 11 miles from the trailhead). This makes it ideal for more mellow hiking or a trail run where you can open up the…

Lyrid Meteor Showers in Bozeman, Montana

Just a heads up for all you night owls, early birds, astronomy buffs, romantics, etc., the Lyrid meteor shower is happening this month. It occurs annually from April 16 to April 25, but the experts predict that it will peak on the 22 or 23 (leaning toward the 23). The time to watch is the dark hours before dawn. Expect to see approximately 20 meteors per hour, but on rare occasions, as many as 100 per hour have been spotted, although that type of activity is not expected for 2015.

So grab your thermos, lawn chair, blanket/sleeping bag, and your favorite sweetheart; find a patch of open sky far from the city lights and prepare to watch Mother Nature put on a show. Awesome stuff indeed.

Kirk Hill Hiking Trails in Bozeman, Montana

One of the fun things about this trail is the fact that you can customize your run with several different loops to choose from. It’s also a fun run with tons of little switchbacks (which are a blast when trotting downhill), and additions ranging from boardwalks, fences, benches, overlooks, and also some interpretive opportunities. The trail is pretty steep if you run clockwise to the far left of the loop. Not too bad if you run it counterclockwise keeping to the perimeter. It has some nice flat sections to stretch your legs out on as well. Overall, a super nice trail for running/hiking. Biking is not allowed and dogs are required to be leashed.

The Kirk Hill trails are located on S 19th right as it hooks…

Backcountry Skiing Goose Creek Meadows in Bozeman, MT

During the winter season, Goose Creek provides a quick fix for backcountry skiing enthusiasts. It's easily accessible being approximately 20 minutes from downtown Bozeman (off of Trail Creek Road), although Goose Creek Road is not plowed regularly so 4-WD is HIGHLY recommended. But then again, with winter in Montana, a four-wheel drive is never a bad idea. 

The hike up is pretty forgiving, following a forest road most of the way, and this area is well-traveled during the winter. The distance to the summit is 1.7 miles give or take. My girl and I can make it up in 90 minutes and we're not exactly greased lightning when we tour (but that lies on me), so a motivated individual could probably be up,…

Day Hikes At Hyalite Reservoir

The Hyalite Lake Trail (not to be confused with Hyalite Reservoir) is a Bozeman classic. Folks throw around the words "stunning" and "breathtaking" quite a bit, but about the scenery along this hike, they would not be overstatements.

Many hikes are all about the destination, but this hike follows Hyalite Creek, passing eleven spectacular waterfalls along the way. The waterfalls are memorable and each has its unique personality. Each waterfall is signed along the way, so you don't have to worry about missing one. I recommend the Day Hikes Around Bozeman guidebook. It's the hiking bible for this area. It features directions to the trailhead and detailed descriptions of various hikes in the area, including Hyalite…

The Dinosaur Park Bozeman

In Bozeman, MT we are always looking for good outdoor family fun. The Dinosaur Park in Gallatin County Regional Park provides plenty of outdoor stimulation for children from toddler age and up. The park has tons of fun features and, considering it's a dinosaur playground, let's not forget the dinosaur sculptures which are various dinosaurs that roamed Montana years ago. They provide learning opportunities as well as tons of fun.

While the kids are having their fun, parents can also take advantage of the numerous picnic tables and benches around the park. These are located just outside of the fenced area, but still provide a clear view of the play structures (so that you can keep a watchful eye on your little ones). The…
