Only In Bozeman

Back in the day, Bozeman flew under the radar. Those who enjoy mountaineering knew about the incredible skiing, fishing, climbing, and backpacking, but they kept it on the DL. At the time, the airport was small, with a few flights and only a handful of hotels. The Western Café was the central breakfast spot, and, given its agricultural background, many people considered Bozeman a cowboy town.

Fingers crossed, we're on the home stretch of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's been a long year, and we're all anxious to get back to everyday life and worry-free traveling! While Bozeman is an excellent place to social distance, we still need to work together to mitigate the spread of the virus until vaccinations are available for everyone. It's shaping up to be a big summer with lots of visitors here in Bozeman. Vacations are booking up, and events such as graduation parties and weddings can commence again. So, it's important to be informed about the status of COVID-19 and local regulations as you plan your visit to Bozeman, Montana this summer.

Summer in Bozeman is a dream – easy access to hundreds of miles of hiking trails, scenic rivers for fly fishing and floating, and plenty of outdoor patios for sipping a cold beer. Not to mention, Yellowstone National Park is just a short drive away. So it’s not surprising that more and more direct flights to Bozeman are being added this summer, so that no matter where you are, you can easily experience a little slice of heaven here in big sky country.
