OVERVIEW

Bozeman lies in a broad valley in south-west Montana, surrounded by several mountain ranges. Its centre preserves red-brick commercial buildings, independent shops and restaurants, while a major university and rapid population growth have expanded the city well beyond the historic core. Trails, rivers and ski areas lie close in every direction.

Outdoor pursuits shape daily life, from fly-fishing and hiking to skiing and mountain biking. Museums provide strong context on regional geology, dinosaurs and western history. The city is increasingly polished and expensive, but its scale remains manageable and the surrounding landscape is visible from most neighbourhoods.
