4 THINGS TO DO IN MONTANA

Have you ever visited Montana? These are a few of my FAVORITE things to do during the wintertime when family comes into town.

Recently, my dad and sister flew to Big Sky for a weekend vacation - with only a few days to soak up the views, watch to find out what we did!

What are other things we should do + see while in Montana? Tell us in the comments below! We'd love to hear from you. :)

1.) Fuel up in Big Sky, Montana - We grabbed lunch at the Hungry Moose Market in the main town center of Big Sky.
- This tiny market has super fresh ingredients, tasty baked goods, smoothies, and delicious coffee. You can even grab a few snacks to-go from their deli + grocery store.
- They have two locations in Big Sky which you can learn about here:
- Also, you can literally fuel up your car + camper at Big Sky! There are two gas stations in town which make a great pit stop on the way to your next destination.

2.) Rent Snowshoes - Snowshoeing is a fun way to pass the time during the winter months in Montana.
- Pack a backpack with water, rent a pair of snowshoes, wear sunblock + a hat, and enjoy the great outdoors.
- Our snowshoes were ~$5 per day at East Slope Outdoors in Big Sky, Montana. Visit their website here:
- Just remember to check that they work properly before heading out on your wintertime adventure!
- We hiked the Bighorn Pass Trail in between Big Sky and West Yellowstone: Bring bear spray if it's late spring!

3.) Drive Through Yellowstone - We drove through Gardiner, Montana and entered Yellowstone National Park from the northern entrance. It's a great place to enter the park because you can actually drive through the Roosevelt Arch, see a thermal feature right away (Mammoth Hot Spring), and work your way over to Lamar Valley where animals are known to gather. We spotted bison, elk, deer, and more!
- Watch my other winter road trip to Yellowstone National Park:

4.) Ski Big Sky Resort - My dad was a beginner skiier and did the bunny hill the entire day. During the 2016/2017 winter season, I worked at Big Sky Resort all winter long and skiied most of the mountain!

About Me: Last year, I fell in love with skiing and picked up a part-time seasonal job at a Montana Ski Resort for the Winter 2016/2017 season. Prior to moving to Montana, I lived in NYC for five years and worked at a large advertising and marketing agency. Originally from Florida, living near the Rocky Mountains has been an incredible opportunity. Throughout the winter, I'll be documenting my experience working at a ski resort and also as a freelance marketing consultant. Thanks for following along! PS - I learned how to ski a year ago at 28 years old. :)

Yellowstone National Park - Roosevelt Arch (2018)

The Roosevelt Arch is a rusticated triumphal arch at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Montana, United States. Constructed under the supervision of the US Army at Fort Yellowstone, its cornerstone was laid down by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903. The top of the arch is inscribed with a quote from the Organic Act of 1872, the legislation which created Yellowstone, which reads: For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People.

Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.

Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management and control of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, the first being Columbus Delano. However, the U.S. Army was subsequently commissioned to oversee management of Yellowstone for a 30-year period between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than a thousand archaeological sites.

Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone. In 1978, Yellowstone was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From Wikipedia:
Bozeman is a city in and the seat of Gallatin County, Montana, United States. Located in southwest Montana, the 2010 census put Bozeman's population at 37,280 and by 2016 the population rose to 45,250, making it the fourth largest city in Montana. It is the principal city of the Bozeman, MT Micropolitan Statistical Area, consisting of all of Gallatin County with a population of 97,304. It is the largest Micropolitan Statistical Area in Montana and is the third largest of all of Montana's statistical areas.
The city is named after John M. Bozeman who established the Bozeman Trail and was a founder of the town in August 1864. The town became incorporated in April 1883 with a city council form of government and in January 1922 transitioned to its current city manager/city commission form of government. Bozeman was elected an All-America City in 2001 by the National Civic League.
Bozeman is home to Montana State University. The local newspaper is the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, and the city is served by Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport.

Geography and Weather
Bozeman is located at an elevation of 4,820 feet or 1,470 meters. The Bridger Mountains are to the north-northeast, the Tobacco Root Mountains to the west-south-west, the Big Belt Mountains and Horseshoe Hills to the northwest, the Hyalite Peaks of the northern Gallatin Range to the south and the Spanish Peaks of the northern Madison Range to the south-southwest. Bozeman is east of the continental divide, and Interstate 90 passes through the city. It is 84 miles (135 km) east of Butte, 125 miles (201 km) west of Billings, and 93 miles (150 km) north of Yellowstone National Park.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 19.15 square miles (49.60 km2), of which, 19.12 square miles (49.52 km2) is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) is water.
Bozeman experiences a dry continental climate . Bozeman and the surrounding area receives significantly higher rainfall than much of the central and eastern parts of the state, up to 24 inches or 610 millimeters of precipitation annually vs. the 8 to 12 inches (200 to 300 mm) common throughout much of Montana east of the Continental Divide. Combined with fertile soils, plant growth is relatively lush. This undoubtedly contributed to the early nickname Valley of the Flowers and the establishment of MSU as the state's agricultural college. Bozeman has cold, snowy winters and relatively warm summers, though due to elevation, temperature changes from day to night can be significant. The highest temperature ever recorded in Bozeman was 105 °F (40.6 °C) on July 31, 1892. The lowest recorded temperature, −43 °F (−41.7 °C), occurred on February 8, 1936.

Yellowstone National Park | A day at Madison and Norris areas

On our 10 day visit to Yellowstone National Park, we divided our time in the park into 7 major areas. This video showcases the area landscape, the amazing Norris Geyser Basin and the Madison area.
Make our day today! Give us a thumbs-up, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and SHARE this video with a friend. Are we asking TOO much?

ABOUT YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK’S MADISON AND NORRIS GEYSER BASIN

Whether you are planning your visit or browsing, here are some of our favorite things to do in the Madison and Norris Geyser Basin
Visit the Madison Information Station: The Madison Information Station dates from 1929-30 and is a National Historic Landmark. Located at Madison Junction in the Madison Picnic Area, it is built from wood and stone materials. In previous years, this building has been used as a museum, has housed the Arts Yellowstone program, and has sat empty and abandoned. It began its new life as an information station and Yellowstone Association bookstore during the summer of 1995.

Explore Artists Paintpots: Artists Paintpots is a small but lovely thermal area just south of Norris Junction. A one-mile round trip trail takes visitors to colorful hot springs, two large mudpots, and through a section of forest burned in 1988. Adjacent to this area are three other off-trail, backcountry thermal areas: Sylvan Springs, Gibbon Hill Geyser Basin, and Geyser Creek Thermal area.

Visit Gibbon Falls: This 84-foot (26-meter) waterfall tumbles over remnants of the Yellowstone Caldera rim. The rock wall on the opposite side of the road from the waterfall is the inner rim of the caldera.

Hike to Monument Geyser Basin: This small, nearly dormant basin lies at the top of a very steep one-mile trail. Thermos-bottle shaped geyser cones are remnants of a much more active time.

Take a Boardwalk Tour of Terrace Springs: The small thermal area just north of Madison Junction. This area provides the visitor with a short boardwalk tour of hot springs.

Fish the Firehole River: The Firehole River starts south of Old Faithful, runs through the thermal areas northward to join the Gibbon and form the Madison River. The Firehole is world famous among anglers for its pristine beauty and healthy brown, brook, and rainbow trout.

Take a Driving Tour of Firehole Canyon and Swim in Firehole Falls: Firehole Canyon Drive, a side road, follows the Firehole River upstream from Madison Junction to just above Firehole Falls. The drive takes sightseers past 800-foot thick lava flows. Firehole Falls is a 40-foot waterfall. A swimming area is very popular in the warmest of the summer season.

Stroll on the Boardwalks at Norris Geyser Basin: Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest, oldest, and most dynamic of Yellowstone's thermal areas. The highest temperature yet recorded in any geothermal area in Yellowstone was measured in a scientific drill hole at Norris: 459°F (237°C) just 1,087 feet (326 meters) below the surface! Norris shows evidence of having had thermal features for at least 115,000 years. Steamboat Geyser, the tallest geyser in the world (300 to 400 feet) and Echinus Geyser (pH 3.5 or so) are the most popular features.

Listen to the Hissing of Roaring Mountain: Located just north of Norris on the Norris-Mammoth section of the Grand Loop Road, Roaring Mountain is a large, acidic thermal area (solfatara) that contains many steam vents (fumaroles). In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the number, size, and power of the fumaroles was much greater than today

Incredible Scenic Beartooth Highway – between Montana and Wyoming

Incredible Scenic Beartooth Highway – between Montana and Wyoming.

“The most beautiful road in America” was coined by the late Charles Kuralt to describe this outstanding 67 mile corridor crossing the top of Montana and Wyoming. The highway opened in 1936 and was declared impossible to build by many engineers.

The Beartooth Highway is listed as a National Scenic Byways All-American Road. The highway is the quickest route between Red Lodge, Montana and Cooke City, Montana near the north-east entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

At 11,947 feet above sea level (that’s over two miles high), the road is the highest elevation highway in the Northern Rocky Mountains. It is closed from mid-October to late May because of snow on the roadway, some years over 20 feet deep!

Be prepared for adverse conditions in the summertime since winds can blow over 100 MPH and 70 degree days can plummet to below freezing during sudden snowstorms!

This sequence was captured with three cameras; a GoPro Hero2 and Hero3 Black, and a Canon Vixia HFS-100 camcorder. Editing was accomplished with Adobe Premier Pro.
