General presentation
Bozeman et Gallatin Valley
An animated centre of the Rockies, museums and valleys open to the mountains.
The discovery of Bozeman and Gallatin Valley is based on the Museum of the Rockies, American Computer and Robotics Museum and Hyalite Canyon. The stay thus alternates between urban life, mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Museum of the Rockies
In Bozeman, the Museum of the Rockies is distinguished by its dinosaur collections, including fossils from the Montana formations. The rooms connect paleontology, regional history and culture of the Rockies, with enough spectacular pieces to captivate children and travellers attracted to science.
Culture and heritage
American Computer and Robotics Museum
L-American Computer and Robotics Museum follows the thread of computer science, communications, artificial intelligence and robotics through machines, prototypes and inventors' stories. In Bozeman, he brings an unexpected counterpoint to mountain landscapes: a dive into objects that have changed our way of calculating, communicating and imagining the future.
Nature and panorama
Hyalite Canyon
Hyalite Canyon concentrates one of the preferred natural accesses of Bozeman, with a road that goes up to a reservoir surrounded by forests and rocky walls. Cascades, trails, fishing, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing depending on the season make it a soft terrain, as much for a half-day active as for a more engaged exit.
River
Gallatin River
The Gallatin River descends from the mountains near Yellowstone and accompanies the road to Big Sky in a tight canyon. Its fast waters attract fly fishermen and rafting outings, while travellers by car enjoy a succession of turns, cliffs and pebbles beaches.
