Hyalite is a beautiful forest service area offering anything from easy hikes to waterfalls, to water sports and even (in the winter) world-class ice-climbing. The reservoir is the nearest body of water where you can take a motorized boat - and happens to be where most of the City of Bozeman's water comes from! Dozens of amazing hikes from the reservoir parking lot. Hyalite is a must if you have to stay close to Bozeman for your visit. Check out hyalite dot org for more info.

A popular way to experience the Bridgers, about an hour drive from Arrowwood, this alpine lake is one of the few you can drive to (4WD needed). There are a handful of first come, first serve campsites up there. Outhouse and water pump are the only amenities. Trailhead for the shortest hike to the top of the bridgers - Sacagawea Peak. Hike 3 miles up 2,000ft of elevation. An amazing way to experience Bozeman.

It’s all in the name. The Western offers the genuine small town Montana feel, other than how busy it is! A classic, charming diner with local ownership- say hello to owner Suzanne and check out Jim Howards original watercolor paintings in the back corner!

Mukai Coffeehouse
Good place to get a quality cup of coffee and put in a few hours of computer work
Another good one to get some coffee and meet a friend or do work. On downtown Main Street in an old building with tons of local artist featured on the walls. Coolest vibe award, IMO.

Don’t brag about being from CA
It’s real in Montana… especially in recent years, an influx of people and money from high population areas like CA, TX, and the East Coast has led to some bitterness from locals toward those particular demographics for bringing mass development, high housing prices, and more traffic both on the roads and trails - in many cases with a lack of respect. My advice is to simply live the golden rule- be kind respectful and courteous to everyone you meet. Montanans are kind and thoughtful people (maybe a bit stoic too).
