Your Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle in Bozeman & Belgrade

Thanks to the Gallatin Valley’s abundance of wellness resources – from trails in the Bridgers to the growing number of health-focused businesses in Belgrade and Bozeman – a healthy lifestyle is practically second nature here.

We’ve rounded up a variety of ways to boost your fitness, from gyms to healthy food choices. We hope this guide helps you discover what works best for you, and helps you create a healthy lifestyle in Bozeman and Belgrade!

Get Outside

It’s no secret that fresh air is good for you, and can improve both mental and physical health. Fortunately, Belgrade provides plenty of outdoor recreation opportunities. From hiking to fishing, there’s always something to do, no matter the season.

For a shorter outing, walk around River Rock Pond, or take the kids to the playground at Corbett Park. Thanks to the large grassy field and picnic tables, this park is another popular spot for dog walking and meeting up with friends – and is conveniently located in the Prescott Ranch neighborhood.

Here are some of our favorite ways to explore the outdoors in the Belgrade and Bozeman area:

  • Hike the North Cottonwood trail in Belgrade, or South Cottonwood in Bozeman
  • Go fly fishing on the Gallatin River
  • Try out climbing or ice climbing in Hyalite Canyon
  • Walk to Palisade Falls in Hyalite
  • Ski or snowboard at Bridger Bowl Ski Area

Join a Gym

Belgrade has a number of gyms, and we especially love the Cove Athletic Club in the River Rock area (just a 10 minute drive from Prescott Ranch). Equipped with an indoor basketball court, many machines, a sauna, play area for kids, and even a smoothie bar, this gym has it all. Plus, you can sign up for classes, like cycling or barre, or enroll in personal training sessions!

There are several other gyms in the Belgrade and Bozeman area, including (but not limited to):

  • The Gym of Belgrade: A no frills gym that’s open 24 hours and gives a lot of bang for your buck
  • The Ridge: A popular gym in Bozeman with a pool, indoor basketball court, sauna, classes, and equipment
  • Bozeman Hot Springs: Soak in the indoor or outdoor hot springs after working out, or utilize the cold pool and sauna

Try a Niche Gym

As an outdoor hub, it’s no surprise the Bozeman area would have Check out Spire Climbing + Fitness and give climbing a go! With numerous top rope and lead routes, two spacious bouldering areas, yoga classes, and a large workout section featuring a variety of gym equipment, it’s got everything you need.

The Mountain Project is another popular (and unique) gym in Bozeman with classes and equipment aimed at building strength for outdoor activities. They offer outdoor specific courses too, like ski conditioning, hunting conditioning, running, and more. They even have a bouldering wall too!

Take a Yoga Class

Yoga is great for both strength and mobility, and fortunately, The Life Yoga Studio recently opened in Belgrade in January 2025. Choose from a variety of classes, like Life Flow (a hot yoga class), Life Restore (a restorative, relaxing class), or Life Shape (a high-intensity class that uses weights, bands, and blocks), to name a few.

There are plenty of yoga studios in Bozeman too, like Ekam Yoga, Your Yoga, and Bozeman Power Yoga.

Shop for Healthy Food

While you can shop for healthy food in regular grocery stores, such as the Town & Country and Albertsons right in Belgrade, you can opt to make the short drive into Bozeman for the Bozeman Co-op and Whole Foods.

During the warmer months, check out the Belgrade Community Farmers Market (although it went on hiatus due to construction in 2024, we’re crossing our fingers for its return in 2025!). Or, head to Bozeman for the Tuesday evening Bozeman Farmers’ Market or Saturday morning Gallatin Valley Farmers’ Market. The Bozeman Winter Farmers’ Market runs every Saturday during the colder months too!

Get a Massage

Treat your physical and mental health with a spa day. Both Intrinsic Touch and Synchronicity Massage in Belgrade provide health and wellness services, like cupping and massages.

You’ll leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, and ready to take on the rest of the week!

Nutritious Meals on the Go

Don’t have time to cook for yourself, but still want to eat whole, nutrient-rich meals? No problem! Whole and Nourished is a meal delivery service that utilizes healthy ingredients to prepare creative, fresh food each week for their customers.

Nourishmint Juice Bar in Bozeman offers a similar service – but with juice. Order an entire cleanse program, or pick from individual juices. After purchasing, they’ll be delivered to your door!

Or, check out The Well Juicery in Bozeman, which whips up fresh juices and smoothies for customers. They also sell salads and sandwiches to go.

Whether you’re hitting the trails at North Cottonwood, climbing at Spire, taking a class at The Life Yoga Studio, or simply grabbing fresh food from a farmers’ market, there’ss plenty of opportunities to embrace a healthy lifestyle in Bozeman and Belgrade.

The Best Outdoor Winter Activities in Bozeman & Belgrade

Here at Prescott Ranch, we welcome winter – and truly embrace it! The winter season brings an entirely different set of outdoor activities, like skiing and ice climbing, that are only possible when it’s below freezing. After all, cold weather is just an invitation to create unforgettable memories!

From powder-packed ski slopes to serene cross-country trails, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a thrilling adventure or a relaxing outing, check out our list below for a variety of outdoor winter activities in Bozeman, Belgrade, and the Gallatin Valley!

Head to Chalet Sports or Roundhouse Sports in Bozeman to rent or purchase most winter gear. For ice climbing or backcountry needs, check out Uphill Pursuits. And for winter fly fishing or ice fishing supplies, pop into Yellow Dog Flyfishing or Bozeman Fly Supply.

The Best Outdoor Winter Activities in Bozeman & Belgrade

1. Cross Country Skiing

Cross country skiing is big in Bozeman thanks to the many trails both in and outside of town. If it dumped snow in town, you might even see people skiing on the sidewalks!

Beginners will enjoy the flat, easy trails at Sourdough, the Bridger Golf Course, or in parks around town. More advanced skiers will love the variety of terrain at Hyalite and Crosscut (although there are some easier trails for beginners at both those locations too!).

Check the Bridger Ski Foundation’s website for grooming reports of trails around town.

2. Skiing

It’s not surprising that skiing is popular in Belgrade. With two ski areas within an hour’s drive, you can hit the slopes every weekend – or even every day!

Both Big Sky Resort and Bridger Bowl Ski Area offer a variety of terrain for every level of skier and snowboarder. While Big Sky is bigger with more runs, Bridger Bowl lends a more mom-and-pop feel. Both are great options depending on what you’re after.

If you’d like to venture further out, there are still plenty of hills to check out. Discovery Ski Area (“Disco” for short) and Showdown are both about two hours away from Prescott Ranch.

3. Ice Skating

While you can skate indoors at the Gallatin Ice Rink in Bozeman, we think outdoor skating is just as fun! And fortunately, there are plenty of places to skate in the open air.

In Bozeman, some of the local parks turn into rinks in winter. The City of Bozeman builds and maintains outdoor rinks at Beall Park, Southside Park, and Bogert Park. Plus, residents take it upon themselves to maintain small ice rinks on some lakes and ponds in town.

If you’re into speed skating (or simply want to skate on a longer track), check out the 400-meter oval on Cattail Lake. For a truly memorable experience, you can even try ice skating at Hyalite Reservoir. While Hyalite only makes a good ice skating location a small portion of the year (it has to be cold but free of snow, so it’s usually best earlier in the winter), it’s truly worth it when it’s skateable. Just make sure it’s safe first, of course.

4. Ice Climbing

Ice climbing in Hyalite Canyon is extremely popular thanks to the many easily accessible routes all in one location. People come from all over to climb ice in the area, and it’s so popular Bozeman even hosts the Bozeman Ice Festival every December.

If you’re new to ice climbing, you can always hire a guide to teach you the ropes (literally), like those from Mountain Alpine Guides. Or, if you’re a seasoned veteran, rent and shop for gear at Uphill Pursuits.

5. Hiking

It might even be more peaceful to hike in the winter than in the summer! The scenery is gorgeous, there’s way less activity, and the snow creates a quiet blanket that emits a soft crunch with each step.

You typically don’t need snowshoes to hike the more popular trails as they’ll get packed down pretty quickly, but we do recommend renting or purchasing microspikes. They attach to the bottom of your shoes and provide extra traction – trust us, slipping on ice is no fun. Micro spikes help grip into the snow and keep you stable.

Here are some of our favorite winter hikes in Bozeman, Belgrade, and the Gallatin Valley:

  • Palisade Falls in Hyalite: A 4-mile out-and-back walk with a frozen waterfall.
  • Triple Tree in Bozeman: A 5-mile round trip hike with gorgeous views of Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley.
  • Lava Lake in Gallatin Canyon: A 6-mile out-and-back trek featuring a frozen lake.
  • North Cottonwood in Belgrade: This out-and-back hike features gorgeous views of the Gallatin Valley near the beginning of the trail, so you can turn around after just a couple miles – or you can connect to one of the many routes in the Bridger Mountains.

6. Ice Fishing

Ice fishing on Hyalite Reservoir is another well-loved winter activity. The reservoir is usually frozen enough to safely stand on sometime in December, and you’ll see ice fishing tents dotting the surface until the ice melts in the spring. You might also see people fishing from lakes around Belgrade and Bozeman.

Rent or purchase ice fishing gear at one of the many fishing shops in Downtown Bozeman. Several outfitters offer guided ice fishing trips, like Montana Trout on the Fly and Dave McKee Fly Fishing Outfitters.

7. Snowshoeing

Venture away from the more trafficked trails, and you’ll likely need snowshoes. This certainly creates a fun adventure for all abilities!

While you can snowshoe on more popular trails, the snow is usually packed down enough so you don’t actually need them. However, you can just simply walk next to the trail where the snow

Here are some snowshoeing trails in Bozeman and the rest of the Gallatin Valley:

  • Brackett Creek in Bridger Canyon: A wide forest service road that’s perfect for a relaxing walk in the woods.
  • Moser Creek in Hyalite: Popular with cross country skiers, Moser is also a snowshoeing destination – it’s relatively flat, and great for a family outing.
  • Crosscut Mountain Sports Center in Bridger Canyon: Purchase a day pass to use Crosscut’s snowshoe trails.
  • Hyalite Lake in Hyalite: An 11-mile sufferfest up to a frozen lake.

8. Fly Fishing

Fly fishing is big in Montana, and it doesn’t stop in the winter! Grab some insulated waders and lots of layers, and you’re good to go. Since fly fishing isn’t as popular during the colder months, you’ll likely get your spot on the river all to yourself.

If you’d like to stay close to town, check out the East Gallatin River, which typically doesn’t freeze completely in the winter. You’ll usually have the best luck fishing in the sections near Belgrade and Manhattan. Beartrap Canyon is another great winter fly fishing spot near Bozeman, and is located in a gorgeous wilderness area near Ennis.

9. Cut Down a Christmas Tree

Cutting down your own Christmas tree is a popular activity in Bozeman and Belgrade, and it’s clear why! Not only does this help thin the forest and decrease fire risk, but it’s also a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Just make sure you purchase a (very cheap) Christmas tree permit from the forest service first. Locals typically head to Hyalite, but you can also head to other nearby forests too.

10. Snowmobiling

We speak from experience when we say snowmobiling is a blast! Picture yourself zipping through the frosty air, the picture-perfect scenery whizzing by around you. Bozeman offers a number of areas that work well for snowmobiling, whether you’re an experienced rider looking to tackle the trails on your own, or a beginner who feels more comfortable with a guided trip.

You can rent snowmobiles from Big Boys Toys in Bozeman. Or, book a guided trip. Unfortunately, most guided trips are down in Big Sky and West Yellowstone, but it’s worth it if you’re up for a drive.

If you feel confident snowmobiling on your own, head up Bridger Canyon Road, where trails are plentiful. We love Fairy Lake Road, where you’ll get the unusual chance to see Fairy Lake without the crowds. Brackett Creek and Olson Creek are great choices too.

We hope this post has gotten you excited about all the fun outdoor winter activities in Bozeman, Belgrade, and beyond. There’s so much to choose from – and in fact, we highly recommend trying them all!

Redfin Featured Article: 5 Simple Steps to Crafting the Perfect Holiday Aesthetic

We’re thrilled to embrace the holiday season at Prescott Ranch and even more excited to be featured in this fantastic Redfin article: 5 Simple Steps to Crafting the Perfect Holiday Aesthetic!

by Candace Tillery

The holiday season is all about filling your home with warmth, joy, and a bit of magic. Crafting the perfect holiday aesthetic means blending personal touches with classic decor that captures the spirit of the season. So whether you’re searching for ideas on which festive lights to use in your Denver, CO home, hosting a DIY décor party in your New York City, NY apartment, or simply decorating your tree in your rental home in Portland, OR—these holiday aesthetic ideas will spark your creativity and maybe even inspire you to try something new this year. 

1. Add personal and handmade touches to your holiday aesthetic 

When designing your holiday aesthetic, it’s important to make the decorations feel authentic to you. Werner Tree Farm owners David and Amanda Werner encourage embracing personal style, whether that means adding green velvet bows or incorporating glittering disco balls into your garland. “Pulling inspiration from your favorite colors, art, and even movies can help you create a Christmas look that truly feels like yours,” explains Werner. “And don’t forget the scent—real Christmas trees, wreaths, and garlands not only provide a stunning visual effect but also bring the unmistakable fragrance of the season into your home.”

Adding a personal touch can also be achieved through handmade décor. Crafter, blogger, and content creator Koren Wiskman says, “Handmade décor adds a personal and heartfelt touch to your holiday aesthetic.” From handcrafted ornaments to DIY wreaths and garlands, these items create a warm, inviting atmosphere filled with character. Incorporating handmade pieces allows you to showcase your creativity and even involve family members in the decorating process. These unique items often carry sentimental value, making your holiday decorations truly one of a kind. Plus, they can be tailored to match your holiday theme and color palette perfectly.

For those who love a whimsical, yet elegant touch, Heather Dzubinski from Paradise Beach Jewelry suggests creating a festive dinner table display using cardboard cones, colored craft balls, and wooden signs. “This creates a perfect holiday dinner table design with a whimsical, elegant, and classy Christmas feel,” Dzubinski explains. This DIY project is a great way to combine creativity with festive spirit, creating a memorable dining experience for guests.

2. Transform your space with festive lighting

Lighting is one of the easiest ways to transform your space into a festive wonderland and create the perfect holiday aesthetic. Hannah Marcum from All American Christmas shares some great ideas to make your home shine. “One trend happening in the holiday decorating space is the use of LED Christmas lights. Not only do they last longer and provide a more accurate color, but they also save on energy bills through the holiday season.” Marcum also suggests, “Add light displays like hanging snowflakes in your windows or a waving Santa in your front yard can also bring smiles to your family and neighbors, creating a cheerful and inviting atmosphere.” 

Darren Vader from The Christmas Light Emporium recommends using warm, traditional lights to enhance the overall feel of your decor. “Embrace the magic of twinkling or slow fading lights,” Vader suggests, as they add a soft glow to any space. Whether you’re decorating your tree or your front yard, the right lighting can transform any room into a festive haven. For those who prefer a more playful aesthetic, Vader also suggests experimenting with color. “Try modern color combinations like pink and warm white, or even unique palettes like Gingerbread and Champagne,’ he advises.

Nothing says “classic Christmas” quite like the warm, nostalgic glow of big, retro-style lights. David Andora from LED holiday lights company Tru-Tone weighs in on the topic. “I’m a fan of vintage decor and love the feel of those old-fashioned incandescent ‘big bulb’ Christmas lights. Inspired by the original GE Decoration Guides that accompanied the lights, they recommend embracing that retro charm in your holiday displays. Pairing these iconic lights with plywood cutout yard decorations, reminiscent of those your parents might have made, can add a delightful, timeless touch to your outdoor décor.”

3. Embrace fresh greens and extra trees

Fresh evergreens are the epitome of holiday decor, bringing both natural beauty and the iconic scent of Christmas into your home. George and Wendy Richardson, owners of Richardson Adventure Farm, advocate for the use of real, fresh evergreens.  “Create table centerpieces with fresh greens, pinecones, ribbons, and maybe even a few ornaments or candy canes for a personal touch. Decorate wreaths and garlands with fresh greens, which can be hung inside or outside for a festive flair. The bonus? Real Christmas trees and greenery are 100% recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly choice for your holiday décor.”

Speaking of Christmas trees—why settle for just one Christmas tree when you can spread the holiday cheer throughout your home? John DiBiase, editor and writer for independent music sampler, Jesus Freak Hideout, suggests adding smaller trees to high-traffic areas like the kitchen or rec room. “This not only brings more festive spirit into your space, but it also gives you plenty of room for all those ornaments you’ve collected over the years—because let’s face it, we all end up with more ornaments than we really need.”

4. Create a warm focal point

Your fireplace is the perfect place to set the mood for the holidays. Sally Galli from Prescott Ranch in Belgrade, MT recommends styling your mantel with a traditional holiday garland, personalized stockings, and perhaps a set of nutcrackers for a timeless touch. “For an extra festive look, you can hang an advent calendar on or near the mantel to count down the days to Christmas. A wreath above the fireplace is quintessential to holiday décor, and adding ribbon, ornaments, or metallic accents can elevate your look, making your fireplace a stunning focal point in your home,” shares Galli. 

5. Set the mood with clean, fresh air

One important tip when crafting your Christmas aesthetic is to consider any unwanted smells in your home. If you’re entertaining guests, the last thing you want is for your space to have an unpleasant odor. Investing in an air purifier is a great way to tackle those unwanted smells in your home and improve the holiday Feng Shui. It not only helps improve the air quality but also reduces allergens and odors, making your space feel cleaner and more comfortable. 

Ryan Smith from Rabbit Air, a sleek and ultra-quiet air purifier recommends a proactive approach to managing household odors. Start by identifying odor sources, making it easier to manage smells,” he advises. Improve ventilation by opening windows or using fans to bring fresh air inside. “Use natural odor absorbers like baking soda or activated charcoal for effective, eco-friendly solutions. For a subtle, natural fragrance, place small sachets of dried herbs or spices around your home—they’ll provide a pleasant aroma without being overpowering. Consider air purifiers with charcoal filters for tough odors, ensuring fresher air. Finally, a diffuser with a few drops of lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus oil can gently freshen the air.”

Finding your perfect holiday aesthetic: What matches your vibe?

By following these five simple steps, you’ll be able to create a holiday aesthetic that’s warm, inviting, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s adding personal touches, playing with festive lighting, bringing in the natural beauty of fresh greens, or freshening up the air in your home, each element helps capture the spirit of the season. Whether you’re hosting a big celebration or enjoying a cozy holiday at home, these ideas will inspire you to fill your space with joy and cheer. Let your creativity take over, and make this holiday season one to remember!

5 Fun Winter Day Trips From Belgrade, Montana

Craving a winter adventure? You’re in luck: Belgrade sits right in the middle of some seriously epic cold weather fun! And in this blog post, we’re spilling the beans on the best winter day trips from Belgrade, Montana.

From zipping by bison on a snowmobile in Yellowstone National Park to relaxing in one of the many hot springs in the area, there’s plenty to keep you (and your family) entertained all season long. So what are you waiting for? Grab a thermos of coffee–and hot cocoa for the kids–and hit the road to discover some of the most amazing winter destinations Southwest Montana has to offer!

Note: If you want to try any winter activities listed below (like cross country skiing), you can rent gear from Chalet Sports or Roundhouse Sports in Bozeman. Or, book a guided trip (like ice climbing in Hyalite or backcountry skiing in Big Sky) with Montana Alpine Guides.

1. Hyalite Reservoir

If you’re looking for an epic outdoor winter activity–with scenery that’s just as epic–look no further than Hyalite Reservoir! At just under an hour away, Hyalite offers a pretty big payoff with so much to do.

The canyon is world-renowned for ice climbing, with its large number of accessible frozen waterfalls. Hike to the frozen Palisade Falls, cross country ski the Moser Loop, cut down a Christmas tree (just make sure you get a permit from the forest service first), or go ice fishing on the vast reservoir.

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 53 minutes (30 miles) to the reservoir entrance, 60 minutes (32 miles) to the Palisade Falls trailhead

2. Yellowstone National Park: North Entrance

Yellowstone is practically empty in the winter, so it’s a great time to visit if you want to avoid the summer crowds. The North Entrance (conveniently the closest to Prescott Ranch) that goes through the charming small town, Gardiner, is the only one still open in the winter to personal vehicles. Plus, the drive through Paradise Valley is beautiful!

Keep in mind that park amenities, like bathrooms, shops, and restaurants, may be limited in the winter season. However, the plus side of this aspect means less crowds — in fact, you may only see a few other cars, especially when you drive further into the park! This is such a contrast to the summer months, when the park is inundated with tourists.

Here are some things to do in winter in Yellowstone:

  • Walk the boardwalk to see the famous Mammoth Hot Springs
  • Drive through Lamar Valley, which is known for wildlife sightings
  • Stroll or snowshoe the short trail to Trout Lake
  • See the adorable town of Cooke City
  • Cross country ski one of the many accessible trails

The sun sets early in Montana in the winter, so plan to stop for dinner and activities on your way back! Grab dinner at the Wonderland Cafe, then soak in Yellowstone Hot Springs or Chico Hot Springs, and end your night with a drink at the Old Saloon.

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 1 hour, 33 minutes (91 miles)

3. West Yellowstone

Head to West Yellowstone for a true winter experience. The town itself is adorable, and Yellowstone Beer Company, the local brewery, is worth a visit. Check out the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center to see rescued and rehabilitated animals. It’s an AZA accredited Not-for-Profit, wildlife park and educational facility which also has a museum on the property.

If you’re ready for some outdoor excitement, head to the Rendevous Ski Trails, and try out cross country skiing. Just picture gliding under snow-covered trees, the snow on groomed trails glittering in the sunlight. It’s an activity guaranteed to entertain all ages! In addition, families should check out Kids N’ Snow, a program that organizes outdoor experiences children will love, like ice fishing or snowshoeing.

While Yellowstone’s West Entrance is closed to personal vehicles, you can still visit by reserving a tour. Book a guided snowmobile or snowcoach tour, and prepare for a true snowy adventure!

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 1 hour, 43 minutes (91 miles)

4. Bannack State Park

Most people don’t realize Bannack State Park is open all year-round, and in our opinion, the winter is one of the best times of year to visit. During the colder months, it’s extra eerie and deserted, and you might even have it all to yourself.

Bannack State Park is unique as they allow you to walk through almost every one of the 50+ buildings in the park, even notable ones like the hotel and saloon. You’ll feel like you’re truly stepping back in time wandering the streets of Montana’s first territorial capital and the site of the state’s first major gold discovery.

You can also skate on the outdoor rink, which they maintain from sometime in January to March. And if you don’t have skates, you’re in luck: they offer free loaners to visitors!

If you feel like a soak before heading home, stop by Jackson Hot Springs, just 30 minutes away from Bannack. You can also grab something to eat at their restaurant!

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 2 hours, 12 minutes (130 miles)

5. Philipsburg + Discovery Ski Area

Philipsburg is an adorable small town, with historic buildings full of western charm lining Broadway Street. The drive over is gorgeous, and takes you through the historic town of Anaconda, along the Pintler Veterans Memorial Scenic Highway, and by the massive Georgetown Lake.

Head to the nearby mom-and-pop ski hill, Discovery Ski Area, and spend the day zipping down the slopes. Don’t leave without trying one of their famous chocolate chip cookies; just trust us on this one!

When you’re back in Philipsburg, stop by The Sweet Palace, a legendary (and huge!) candy shop with an old-fashioned feel. Browse the Montana Gems of Philipsburg shop, which sells jewelry often made with gems from Montana and Idaho. You can even purchase a bag of gravel from a local mine and sift through it – who knows, you may even find some sapphires of your own!

Afterwards, grab dinner at Bunkhouse Whiskey (a distillery with amazing food), or the Silver Mill Restaurant (a kid-friendly steakhouse). Afterwards, have a well-deserved beer at Philipsburg Brewing Company (and yep, it’s family friendly too!).

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 2 hours, 13 minutes (127 miles)

And the best part: every restaurant on this list is within 10 minutes of driving distance from Prescott Ranch!

1. Cafe Havana

Want something unique? Head straight to Cafe Havana! A great place to stop for breakfast or lunch (they close before dinner), Cafe Havana serves up a variety of Latin-inspired fare. They also make a couple of classics with a twist, like a turkey bacon avocado sandwich on a croissant instead of bread. And no surprise, it’s a local favorite.

Or, try the green chili pork, which is exactly what it sounds like: pork shoulder slow cooked in fresh green salsa. The Colombian is another popular dish, and comes with eggs, avocado, and an arepa. Arepas are thick, grilled corn cakes and they’re absolutely delicious. Fortunately, you can order one as a side with any meal, and if you haven’t tried one yet, this is your chance!

No cafe would be complete without coffee, and Cafe Havana delivers. Not only can you order a classic latte or Americano, but you can also try one of their specials. Check their menu for the full list, but we recommend their namesake drink, the Cafe Havana. It’s a Cuban-style coffee made with espresso, cream, and raw sugar, and it’s a great pick-me-up in the morning.

2. Bar 3 Bar-B-Q

For some seriously scrumptious barbecue, Bar 3 Bar-B-Q is the place to go. Even picky eaters will find something they love: their kids menu has kid-approved favorites like BBQ sandwich sliders and a cheese and pork “Kid Quesadilla”. Families or large groups will love the selection of family dinners that’ll feed anywhere from three to ten people.

Bar 3’s menu features an assortment of meat and rib platters, BBQ sandwiches, and hearty appetizers. If you’re looking for something adventurous, try the Gut Buster, a giant sandwich stuffed with pulled pork, grits, fries, and Sriracha. Pair it with a beer from their in-house brewery, One Pride Brewing. Definitely leave room for dessert–the butter-toffee cake is amazing!

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 6 minutes (2 miles)

3. The Mint

No matter the occasion, you can’t go wrong with The Mint Cafe and Bar, or simply “The Mint” for short. This iconic steakhouse features classic cuts and entrees like root beer braised beef shoulder and chicken fried chicken. Opened in 1904, you’ll see old photographs covering the walls, showcasing The Mint in its early days. At one point, it was even a bank!

While this is the most upscale restaurant on this list, the prices are still pretty reasonable. Plus, they have a very affordable kids menu to boot!

Plan to make reservations here, as tables fill up fast, especially on weekend nights. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or just want to try a new spot, The Mint has what you’re looking for!

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 6 minutes (2 miles)

4. Curry Express

You might not expect to get great Indian food in Montana, but Curry Express is truly a gem. Their lengthy menu features all the classics you’d hope to see, like chicken tikka masala, a number of paneer dishes, samosas, mango lassis, fresh naan (of course), and so much more. You can even choose your spice level, ranging from one to five.

Make sure you also save room for dessert. We recommend the gulab jamun – it’s delicious and perfectly sweet!

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 7 minutes (2.5 miles)

5. The Local

The Local American Saloon, also known as “The Local”, is a casual spot with a homey atmosphere. Its Western decor adds to the authentic Montana feel, and the wood and brick accents make it feel cozy, perfect for a night out or cold winter day.

But don’t let the laid back atmosphere fool you: the food here truly surpasses expectations. Choose from a menu full of comfort food, balancing classics like a Reuben and baked ziti with more inventive dishes like the bison sausage hoagie and mango salmon. Plus, their creative cocktails are fun to try too!

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 6 minutes (2 miles)

6. Bone Broth Noodles

If you love Vietnamese food, add Bone Broth Noodles to your list. Order up some crispy egg rolls, pork ramen, iced Vietnamese coffee, and you’re good to go! Or, try another fan favorite, the rare flank steak with rice noodles and beef bone broth.

This casual spot may very well become your new go-to for lunch and dinner!

Driving Distance from Prescott Ranch: 7 minutes (2.5 miles)

Honorable mentions go to the Ramires Mexican Food and Taco Bus Authentic Mexican Food food trucks on Jackrabbit – while not restaurants, both have amazing Mexican food. And for even more ideas, check out the Belgrade Chamber of Commerce’s website for a longer list of Belgrade restaurants.

The Best Places in Bozeman and Belgrade for a Picnic

Summer is the season for outdoor picnics. And because Bozeman and Belgrade are fortunate to have plenty of green spaces, it’s pretty easy to find the perfect picnic spot!

To help you find your next picnicking destination in town, we’ve rounded up our favorite locations. Whether you’re after picturesque mountain views, flowing rivers, or a park that’ll keep your kids entertained while you relax, you’ll find something that works for you!

1. Peet’s Hill

For a picnic with an epic view of Bozeman and beyond, look no further than Peet’s Hill. A fan favorite for a reason, this park has ample picnic space.

Sit at one of the many benches along the trail, or BYOB (bring your own blanket) and set up in the grass to take in the views. This is also one of the best places in town to catch a sunset, so plan your picnic just before sundown to watch the sky’s cotton candy colors emerge.

2. Bozeman Beach

Pop in and out of the water while you picnic at Bozeman Beach! And with the mountains in the background, Bozeman Beach is a beautiful place to spend a summer afternoon.

Keep in mind it’s a popular spot, so it won’t necessarily be as peaceful as the other options on this list. However, this makes it excellent for people watching! You’ll spot locals and visitors alike doing a variety of water activities, like swimming, kayaking, and even windsurfing!

Bonus: MAP, one of Bozeman’s favorite breweries, is on the other side of the lake. Head over when you’re done relaxing on the sand to grab a beer or app on the patio!

3. Lewis & Clark Park

You can’t go wrong picnicking in Lewis & Clark Park! With large swaths of green grass in almost all directions, it’s Belgrade’s largest park.

Keep the kids entertained with a playground, Splash Park, and skate park. Because of all the kid friendly activities, this park is a great place to picnic while you watch your little ones explore!

4. Lindley Park

In the warmer months, Lindley Park is full of people relaxing in hammocks, balancing on slacklines, and—you guessed it—picnicking.

Head there on a Tuesday evening between mid-June and mid-September for the Bozeman Farmers Market, where you’ll enjoy live music, local produce, and an assortment of food trucks.

5. Cameron Bridge Fishing Access Site

What’s better than relaxing by the river on a warm evening? Having a picnic by the river, of course!

The Cameron Bridge Fishing Access Site is the perfect place for that, with lots of space to sit on your blanket and enjoy a sandwich. There’s also a couple of picnic tables (one in the parking lot and another along the main trail) if you’d rather sit at a table.

The river is shallow enough to walk in most places, and will be flowing slow enough too. This makes it great on a hot day–just bring your river shoes, as the bottom can be rocky in places.

6. Gallatin County Regional Park

You’ll find a large hill in the middle of this large park—perfect for sledding in the winter, and picnicking in the summer. Look out across the two lakes for gorgeous views of the Bridger Mountains. We can’t think of a better backdrop for your picnic, especially if you’re there for sunset!

Plus, this large park has a number of unique amenities for families. Kids will love biking on the pump track or playing on the playground. When you’re done eating, take your dog to the fenced dog park to let out some energy.

7. Sypes Canyon

Up for a hike? Take your food to go, and eat it at the gorgeous overlook two miles in. You’ll get sweeping views of Gallatin Valley, along with the Madison and Gallatin Mountain Ranges in the distance.

This portion of the hike is definitely not easy, but it’s so rewarding once you get to the viewpoint.

Pack up some snacks, or grab something to go. A sandwich from Fink’s, treat from Wild Crumb, or to-go picnic basket from Maven’s Market are all great options!

Like we mentioned above, Bozeman and Belgrade are full of parks. So while these spots are our personal favorites for picnicking, there are a ton of other parks to choose from. If you’d like to explore your options, check out these other Bozeman parks and Belgrade parks.

Or, if you’d like to venture further from town, there’s a ton of options for that too. Madison Buffalo Jump State Park, Missouri River Headwaters State Park, and Hyalite Reservoir are all great options within a one hour drive from Bozeman and Belgrade.

Have you been to any of these spots? If so, which ones are your favorites?

You’ll find Belgrade’s new library by Lewis and Clark Park. It should open sometime between September 2024 and early 2025.

Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport Renovations

While not necessarily a new business, we figured it was worth mentioning: the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is getting a makeover!

Over the next six years, the airport will undergo numerous upgrades, called the East Terminal Expansion Project (ETEP). By 2030, the airport will have another security checkpoint, a third floor for administration offices, a larger baggage claim area, and updates to the A Concourse.

We’re so excited about all the new businesses in Belgrade, and hope you are too. We’re really enjoying seeing our favorite city expand–there’s so many good things coming.

Where to Find the Best Views in Bozeman & Belgrade

You’re bound to find beautiful views no matter where you go in the Bozeman area. This is partly because several mountain ranges surround the region. You’ll find many locals recreating in the beloved Bridger Mountains (or simply “The Bridgers” for short), the closest range to both Bozeman and Belgrade. And depending on where you are in town, you’ll also be able to see the Gallatin Range, Tobacco Root Range, Absaroka Range, or the Madison Range.

And while there’s no shortage of gorgeous scenery in Bozeman, we certainly have our favorite spots. It was tough to choose, but we’ve compiled our picks for the best views in Bozeman and Belgrade below.

Peet’s Hill/Burke Park

Peet’s Hill is probably the biggest bang for your buck: the short walk to the top of the hill takes just a few minutes. While the first part is a little steep, the rest of the roughly 1-mile loop is on flat ground.

Stop and admire the landscape at one of the many benches along the trail, and take notice of landmarks like the Baxter Hotel, Montana State University, and the Bridger Mountains. Peet’s Hill is also one of the best places to watch the sunset in Bozeman, no matter the season.

This trail also connects with the paved Gallagator Trail below; continue along that pathway for a longer walk.

Sky Shed

Because the Sky Shed is located atop the tallest building in Bozeman–the nine-story Kimpton Armory Hotel–you’re in for some splendid views. Rain or shine, visitors and locals alike love this rooftop bar.

When the weather’s nice, Sky Shed’s deck is a fantastic place to soak up the sun and picturesque mountain vistas of the Bridgers. And if it’s cold out, the giant windows afford panoramic views of Downtown Bozeman and beyond. It’s one of our favorite places to grab a drink and watch the sunset!

If the Sky Shed is too busy–which it sometimes is, especially on warm evenings–you can grab a spot on the balcony at the AC Hotel right across the street. From there, you’ll see Bozeman’s downtown area and the Gallatin Mountains.

MAP Brewing Company

MAP is an extremely popular brewery, and it’s not just because of the beer (although that’s great too). The surrounding scenery is breathtaking; from every window, you’ll see the Bridgers towering above Glen Lake. It’s easy to see why we think MAP has some of the best views in Bozeman!

In the winter, take in the snow-capped mountains from the expansive windows. When warmer weather returns, their patio opens with drink and appetizer service. It’s a great spot to soak up the sun and watch people recreating on the lake and sandy shores, also known as Bozeman Beach.

While MAP serves beer that’ll satisfy almost any palate, they’re especially known for two of their IPAs: the Strange Cattle New England IPA and the Midas Crush IPA. You’ll find both of them on tap at some of Bozeman’s bars. Pair them with their Hopped Cheddar Burger, made with hop-infused white cheddar cheese for a unique twist.

The M

The College “M” Trail (or “The M” for short) is arguably the most popular trail in Bozeman. Locals and visitors alike flock to the top, in part to see the giant white “M” made from painted rocks–which is the “M” in “Montana State University”.

But the other reason? To see the gorgeous scenery, of course! You’ll enjoy expansive views of Bozeman, along with several mountain ranges in the distance. And because it’s relatively short–about 1 to 3 miles round trip, depending on the route you take–it’s pretty easy to knock out in a shorter amount of time.

Because it gets a ton of sun from the west, it’s one of the first hikes to dry out in the spring. It’s also a great place to see wildflowers, starting in May and usually throughout July, depending on the weather.

Continue up the trail to Baldy Mountain for even more of a workout. Not for the faint of heart, the 4,465 feet of elevation gain over the course of almost 10 miles makes this one of the most strenuous hikes in Bozeman. However, it’s worth it: the bird’s-eye views you’ll get along the way are simply stunning. Take this trail in the summer or fall to avoid the snow.

Triple Tree Trail

Bozeman is full of hikes with breathtaking views, and Triple Tree Trail is another local favorite. Located on the south side of town, Triple Tree affords stunning mountain vistas of the Bridgers, Tobacco Roots, and Gallatin Peaks.

Take the path to the right for a more scenic route overlooking the aforementioned mountain ranges and valley below. From the top, you can either take the same route back or complete the loop and take the path through the forest. And at about 5.5 miles round trip, it makes for a pretty good workout.

Triple Tree is also brimming with aspen trees, making it one of the best places to go in the fall. Time it right (weather dependent of course, but usually sometime between early to mid-October), and you’ll be treated to swaths of golden leaves covering the hillside and lining the pathway.

In the spring and summer, be on the lookout for wildflowers! It’s one of the best places in Bozeman to see fireweed (usually in July), with its stands of tall, bubblegum pink flowers.

Cherry River Fishing Access Site

Walk one of the short, flat loops at Cherry River Fishing Access Site for amazing views of the Bridgers. The two ponds and river that flow through the area make it feel even more peaceful, and attract an abundance of wildlife.

In the spring, it’s a birding hotspot. Look for medium-sized black birds with yellow heads: the aptly named yellow-headed blackbird! Also keep your eye out for sandhill cranes, bald eagles, white pelicans, and an abundance of songbirds. Besides birds, you might see turtles, deer, or muskrats.

And as the name suggests, people love to fish here. It’s pretty easy to see why: you’ll feel relaxed the second you leave the parking lot.

Bridger Canyon

Go for a drive up Bridger Canyon Road (or Highway 86) to find some of the most impressive scenery around. With rolling hills, mountain vistas, and charming homes spread along the winding road, there’s something to see at every turn.

You really don’t have to drive far to see some of the prettiest views. The stretch between Downtown Bozeman and Bridger Bowl Ski Area is stunning, and only takes about 25 minutes one way.

For a beautiful drive closer to Belgrade, head up Springhill Road. The section between Penwell Bridge Road and the Central Valley Fire District is the most beautiful, with gorgeous views of the Bridgers and other mountain ranges in the distance.

The Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport

While it may seem a little surprising to include the local airport on this list, the views are tough to beat. Watching the planes land and take off in front of the Bridger Mountains is nothing short of mesmerizing. And with plentiful, giant windows, it’s impossible to miss out on the amazing surroundings!

Plus, the airport feels like a cabin; it’s full of quaint, rustic decor. Sit by the massive fireplace and marvel at the exposed wooden beams and stone accents. You may never want to leave!

This list only scratches the surface; the Bozeman area is full of places with stunning views. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time, there’s always something new to explore!

Those purchasing a newly built home often appreciate the security of participating in a community that is held to various standards. These standards may include the number of pets allowed in a home, noise restrictions, overall home and yard appearance, and others. Other advantages of living in a community that offers an HOA include access to parks, clubhouses, and community amenities. Not only do these amenities provide a source of entertainment, they also promote a close-knit community vibe and socialization among neighbors.
