Hiilton Garden Inn Bozeman

We left Missoula around 10 o'clock today to head towards Bozeman. It was a nice relaxing drive though the Montana Rocky Mountains and "Charlie" did great! (Yes we named the van, ok so I named the van) <br><br>We Arrived in Bozeman around 2:00 and thought we would take in some education and visit the Museum of the Rockies. While trying to find our way we got stuck in a turn only lane ...

We spent a second day at Yellowstone Park, visiting the Mud Volcano and Sulphur Caldrons along the road from Fishing Bridge to Canyon Village. It was quite amazing to see large pools of mud boiling. There was a cave that seam and boiling water came out of with a loud noise called Dragon's Mouth Spring. There were some wonderful falls on the Yellowstone River in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. After having lunch in Canon Village we continued on to Norris and visited some of the geysers ...

We were a day early getting to our reserved spot at the Yellowstone North entrance so this site was recommended to us. It was a nice relaxing park right by the Yellowstone River. The river is swift flowing and not very deep. It seems like most of the people here flyfish and the current moves them swiftly north and I am not quite sure how they get back it seems like a heck of alot of rowing.<br><br>Didn't do much today but relax.

The immense open spaces of Montana are difficult to fathom for a girl accustomed the overdeveloped, densely populated East Coast and Florida flats. The expanse we traversed between Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park was impressive. Our southwestern departure from the park on Hwy. 2, then Hwy. 93, and finally I-90, took us through Kalispell (where we ...

We stopped into Bozeman for a couple days to visit Tom Starner and family - wife Kelly Ann, and kids Savanah, Joey, and Bailey. Darren roomed with Tom during his balla' days at UTSA and was coached at UTSA by Tom's dad Stu. We had a great time with a great family in a great area...great!<br>

... and such lush grasses. There were many hay fields and wheat and barley fields. Fat cows and horses. Big ranches. There are some for sale. One was 450 acres with 2.5 miles of frontage on the Yellowstone River. Maybe if we all pool our money, we could at least put a down payment on that one. Most of the land is rolling hills today and becoming mountains closer to Bozeman. Tomorrow we will make a day trip down ...

... but very soon I was convinced that he was a chatterbox and made up the most incredulous stories (I haven't been proven wrong yet). After breakfast the family took me to Hyalite canyon for a short hike. As we drove farther and farther away from the city I became more and more confident about my decision in choosing Montana for my home for a year. It is so beautiful here! The hike was very nice, eventhough Dakota whined a bit on the way there, but when we were walking back we had some ...

Alex: Bozeman was our entry point for Yellowstone and we discovered the downside of small "cities" in the middle of the US right away, the only buses to come in and go out of Bozeman are at around 3am! We met a couple of people on the bus, one, Drew, who helped us find the Hostel and German Daniel who is going to hitch a lift into Yellowstone with us (we are hiring a car). After getting into the hostel at 4am, having a well needed kip we spent our first day wandering ...

... in its breakfast buffet. To this day, I can imagine their butt**y moistness sinking into my mouth as they pass my teeth on a slice of toast. Wow. My dad had urged me to hurry, because we had to catch our flight. Only, I didn't want to leave the eggs. In an ov**-rushed scramble, I placed the remaining eggs on a piece of toast and went for the door. Horrifically, my balance was off, and I tilted the toast so that the eggs went tumbling to the floor. Noooooo! It was one ...
