It's actually rare to get a Montana autumn that lasts longer than a week or two. It's a shame fall isn't longer around here because we get some amazing colors that take zero effort to find.
Renters who are getting evicted because the owner has decided to sell, certainly don't have a lot of incentive to spit shine the joint for Instagram-able real estate pictures.
It's like a kid's game: What's Missing From These Bozeman Pictures? I took them 12 years ago during a helicopter ride around the Gallatin Valley. It's weird to peek at them now to discover what WASN'T there, back then.
Fall doesn't always last very long around here but whatever time Montana gets, it's usually stunning and packed with colors rarely seen in nature. The Bozeman area wasted no time...when the calendar said "Fall", the area responded.
Easter will be here before you know it, and if you're looking for a great place to get pictures with the Easter Bunny, the Gallatin Valley Mall has you covered.
A couple of years ago, I visited the Wickes Tunnel and actually drove through it during the summer. During the winter, the tunnel completely changes. Large ice columns form within the tunnel making it impossible to drive through.
Moose sightings aren't nearly as common as seeing deer and elk. Moose are pretty elusive for their size. You may get lucky and see more than one at times, but it's rare.
