About Bozeman, Montana

Bozeman's first residents were members of Shoshone, Nez Perce, Blackfeet, Flathead, Crow Nation and Sioux tribes although none made it a perminant residence. Reknowned frontiersman John Bozeman established the Bozeman Trail in 1863 thereby opening settlement in the Gallatin Valley.

 

An ideal place to reside and recreate. Clean air, national forest access less than 10 miles away and moderate climate make this a perfect place for outdoor recreation. For those who like to stay a little closer to home enjoy shopping, parks, world-class museums (Museum of the Rockies), and arts and cultural opportunities.

Residents of Bozeman (population appox. 35,000)) receive the benefits of a wonderful standard of living with year round recreational and cultural events. Bozeman (elevation 4,810 feet) is the place to be for that small town feel with big city amenities. The perfect place to do everything or nothing at all.

Note: When booking your trip with Montana Fly Fishing Guides it is most convenient to arrive at the Gallatin County Airport (BZN) in Bozeman. This small, but popular airport has non-stop daily flights from Seattle, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Minneapolis. If you are arriving by private plane there is a public airport in Livingston, Montana called Mission Field (see details).
