To the western side of the Gallatin
National Forest near Bozeman, Montana are the Gallatin Mountains,
some of the most rugged peaks in the state. These Montana mountains
provide visitors to Gallatin National Forest's with countless
outdoor adventure opportunities, like the many miles of hiking
trails, fishable Blue-ribbon trout streams, rivers, and high mountain
lakes and reservoirs. The nearby Gallatin River is considered
one of the best whitewater rafting rivers in the United States
west of the Mississippi.
The late summer may be the peak tourist season in these northern
reaches of Montana, but the winter offers countless thrilling
outdoor adventures in the magnificent and untamed Gallatin Mountains.
In the winter season the snow blanketed mountain peaks receive
400 inches of snow every year, insuring that the cross-country
skiing trails are numerous and varied. Taking a backcountry ski
tour is wonderful exercise as well as great fun, and provides
outstanding opportunities for wildlife observation. |
