THE BOZEMAN TRAIL
The seat of Gallatin county, Bozeman was named after John Bozeman. John first
came to Montana in search of gold. With his hopes soon dashed, Bozeman decided
to help the miners. In 1863, he and John Jacobs blazed the Bozeman Trail, a
cutoff route from the Oregon Trail, and guided miners to Virginia City through
the Gallatin Valley.

GRAND VISTAS AND INCREDIBLE LANDSCAPES
Although at the center of Bozeman's community of friendly people is the college
lifestyle surrounding Montana State University, agriculture is the main industry
for the region. Farm fields and ranchland offer grand vistas and incredible
landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Much of the land that is not being used as farmland is managed by the United
States Forest Service. With over 40% of Gallatin County in the USFS control,
recreational uses abound. Summer will find people fly fishing, hiking, camping,
climbing, canoeing, and kayaking. Winter months attract those seeking Montana's
legendary powder snow.
Fishing, hiking, climbing, canoeing, skiing ... take your pick!
