Two people in hats admire a steaming, bright blue hot spring in a rocky, forested park under a sunny, blue sky. Mood is adventurous.

Looking for a summer escape that hits the perfect balance between fresh air, big views, and small-town charm? Bozeman checks every box. And with our nonstop flights from Minneapolis, it’s easier than ever to swap your daily routine for mountains, rivers, and the kind of wide-open sky that clears your head fast. 

 

Let’s get into it—here’s what makes Bozeman a summer standout. 


Where to Stay 

Historic buildings with glowing storefronts line an empty street at dusk. Warm lights contrast with the cool blue sky, creating a calm mood.
Downtown Bozeman

Bozeman has no shortage of places to stay that feel a little rustic and a little luxe: 

  • Downtown Bozeman (15 minutes from the airport): Stay close to the action with walkable blocks filled with local shops, great food, and laid-back energy. This is the perfect home base if you want access to both city strolls and mountain drives. 

  • Big Sky (1 hour south of the airport): It’s a scenic drive and worth every mile if you’re after more seclusion and that full-on mountain town experience. Expect top-notch resorts, hiking trails, and stargazing that’ll stop you in your tracks. 

  • Paradise Valley (1 hour southeast of the airport): Tucked between mountain ranges with the Yellowstone River running through it, this peaceful valley is ideal for soaking in hot springs or enjoying cabin life off the grid (with just enough Wi-Fi).

Must-Visit Attractions

Hot springs at Yellowstone

  • Downtown Bozeman: Think indie bookstores, Western art galleries, and patio dining with mountain views. It’s got all the charm without the tourist traps. 

  • Museum of the Rockies: Dinosaurs. Like, actual world-famous fossils. Great for kids, and yes—grownups too. 

  • Yellowstone National Park: Just a 90-minute drive from Bozeman, this national treasure is a no-brainer. Take a day trip, it’s worth it. 

  • Bozeman Hot Springs: Naturally heated and perfect after a day of hiking, fishing, or, let’s be honest, just existing. 

 

Culinary Highlights 

Bozeman’s food scene punches above its weight—fresh, local, and always welcoming: 

  • Jam!: A brunch must. Get the lemon ricotta pancakes. Trust us. 

  • Blackbird Kitchen: Handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza with a Montana twist. 

  • Montana Ale Works: Lively, casual, and full of local flavor—literally. Burgers, bison, and craft beers galore. 

  • Farmer’s Daughters: A health-forward spot with grain bowls and smoothies that still feel indulgent. 

 

Unique Experiences

Fly Fishing

  • Fly Fishing the Gallatin River: You don’t need to be a pro—local outfitters will get you geared up and show you everything you need to know. 

  • Hot Air Balloon Ride: Peaceful, surreal, and worth waking up early for. 

  • Livingston: A quick drive from Bozeman, this artsy Old West town has a charming downtown, epic views, and some of the best pie in the state. 

 

Outdoor Adventures

  • Horseback Riding: Channel your inner cowboy (or cowgirl) on a guided trail ride through ranch land and wilderness.
