Autumn in the Bozeman area is one of the best times of the year! There is so much to do – and we’re excited by the growing list of things to enjoy this season. We’ve included some of our favorites in the list below.
#5 – As the temperatures get a bit chillier at the end of fall, go explore a local museum! Bozeman has so many different museum options.
The world-renowned Museum of the Rockies is located on the south side of town, right next to Montana State University. They have an amazing collection of dinosaur fossils and great history on Yellowstone Country. Check out the massive Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton in the Hall of Giants – you won’t be disappointed!
