ike a lot of people around here, Packy Cronin came to Bozeman to go to MSU (read: ski Bridger Bowl) and never left. During the fall of his freshman year, Rolling Stone Magazine ran an article featuring Tom Jungst, Doug Combs and company skiing The Ridge at Bridger. The iconic photo of Jungst skiing an impossibly narrow chute had a big impact on Packy, and he immediately set his sites on two goals: to ski like that and to take photographs like that. Packy grew up in Hawaii, surfing the North Shore. His first camera was a Nikonos Mark IV, manual film camera. He would swim out to Pipeline and take 36 shots, then wait a week to see what he got. “The water angles of surfing back then were pretty new, and I really enjoyed sharing the experience. I was interested in continuing that theme in Montana.” Not long after the Rolling Stone article came out, Cronin met his wife Melissa, along with her parents Lonnie and Mary Ball, who are very passionate about skiing and photography. Since then, Melissa has been his partner and model in all the adventures Montana has had to offer. The playbook is pretty simple, yet powerful: go have a ton of
fun, take pictures, share them, share the experience. “I’ve been incredibly lucky to have a partner to share these adventures with. From skiing and snowboarding, to biking, climbing, kayaking, and now snowkiting,Southwest Montana has provided us with all of it. Sharing it through photographs is the natural extension of that stoke.” c

amiliar ingredients, new flavors, clever details. These are the three words that represent the exquisite fare that you will find at Bisl - the kind of restaurant that thrives on creative cooking techniques and delicious surprises. Bisl’s ever-changing menu is divided into five parts: bites, greens, ramen, plates, and sweets. The chefs at Bisl describe their food as tapas-style dining, inviting guests into a welcoming atmosphere where they can sample multiple savory items pushing the boundaries of your traditional farm-to-table fare. The chefs at Bisl are less concerned about following the rules than they are with providing an exciting, engaging experience. Davey and Kierst Rabinowitz share a passion for fine dining and locally-sourced foods. They met in the kitchen, working in Portland at an Asian restaurant called Departure. They eventually decided to return to Montana and open their own establishment. Two years later they are embarking on a new adventure: a ramen-focused fast food establishment named The Ramen House. A ramen restaurant has long been in the cards for the couple, as ramen 10 July 2018 BozemanMagazine.com
emerged as one of the most popular dishes at Bisl, their first culinary endeavor. The Ramen House shares Bisl’s emphasis on organic and locally sourced ingredients. Located in the old Rocky Mountain Seafood building just north of the University Square Shopping Center, The Ramen House includes a drive-through as well as indoor seating with counter service. Jessica Lewis: How was Bisl conceptualized? How did this place come about? Davey Rabinowitz: Bisl was created about four or five years ago; we were actually a pop-up series and then catering. When I was cooking over in Copenhagen, I received a phone call from my wife and she told me that there was some property on Main Street that we should look at. I said to wait until I came back because she couldn’t move over there, and we were pregnant with our first child, and I was doing an apprenticeship in Copenhagen. She called me the next day and said “Guess what? We bought it.” So, needless to say, I was like “alright here we go.” It took us about a year to redo the whole space;
there’s a labor of love into it. Kierst and I scraped all of the plaster off all the walls and uncovered the brick. We wanted to do something a little more modern. Kierst and I both cooked in Portland, so we asked ourselves: How can we create a restaurant that’s modern but still the ideology of a la carte and food that people can really enjoy, but not over the top small plates? April 7th, 2016 we opened our doors and for the first few months we were super scared because we didn’t know if we were going to make it or not. We had to change and revamp a lot of things but now we are over two years into it and we’re just still doing what we want want to do and enjoying it. JL: Tell me a little about yourself. What made you want to get into the restaurant industry? DR: The restaurant industry was one of those things that I really wanted to be a part of. I started as a dishwasher at Ted’s when I was 18, and all of a sudden I started cooking and I absolutely enjoyed it. I had to ask myself, do I finish college or do something right now that I’m super passionate
about? It was easy for me because I wasn’t just doing something that I thought I had to do; it was what I was passionate about. The passion is still there and it’s driven me to where I am now. It’s been difficult, but it’s also been extremely rewarding with the kitchens I’ve worked in. Bisl has been everything and nonstop. JL: Your new adventure is the Ramen House, can you tell me a little bit about it? What led to opening a new restaurant? DR: The Ramen House is something that we’ve always wanted to do. It was the baby from Bisl’s ramen and we had been talking about it for awhile. I always wanted to open up a ramen house and when I got back from Copenhagen, and was in the midst of Bisl, I looked at my wife and said, “should we just do the ramen house?” We always wanted to do Bisl, but the Ramen House was always in the back of our minds. We decided to put ramen on when we first opened and we did this humongous bowl, and we were like “this isn’t ramen.” We changed it and did this actual bowl of ramen and we put a ramen section
on the men,seafood, pork and veggie. We realized we needed another place for ramen because people come into Bisl just for ramen, but Bisl isn’t ramen house. It’s the restaurant that we want to not associate ourselves with ramen. After awhile, we figured out what our ramen was going to be. At The Ramen House we’ve got three styles of ramen. The traditional style, but it’s not tradional whatsoever. You take a bowl of ramen and you have to look at it like a pizza. If you bring a Chicago deep dish pizza to Sicily or old school Neapolitan pizza, they’re going to tell you it isn’t pizza. So that’s how it is with our ramen.
We get our pork out of Belgrade and it is naturally sweeter than I’ve ever tasted before, so our tankatsu is a little sweeter. We get this beautiful, organic chicken from Northern Californio it’s going to be different than the chicken you get from Japan. Hence our broth is going to be different than what you have in Japan. Our shio, I grew up Jewish, is kind of matzo ball soup meets chicken shio. Our noodles are made everyday and our broth. We had this ideology that we wanted to bring something different to the table. Our noodles are a touch thicker, but that’s what we like. It’s a very simple menu with eight or
nine options and three different styles of ramen and one noodle bowl with shrimp. We’re excited about it! JL: What makes Bisl and The Ramen House unique in the Bozeman? What do you offer that other places don’t? DR: I think every restaurant in this town is unique in their own way; we’re just excted because Bisl is more of a modern restaurant then maybe what you would see here. The Ramen House is one of those places that it’s our style of ramen. We source most of our Asian goods from a huge market out of Seattle, which imports from Japan. There’s not one thing we take for granted or take shortcuts with. I don’t like to consider ourselves different from anyone else because I think everyone is doing great things. JL: What do you want people to experience here when they step through your doors? DR: With Bisl, I want people to have a really good understanding that this is our style of food. I really want people to sit here for two hours and just enjoy the evening. I want people to come in and know that we’re going to take care of you and give you the best attention possible. Whether it’s our natural wine list or our foods that we source, either local or regional and organic, it’s what we want to do. Bisl is very much organic- sustainable, especially with compost systems in the back and fermentation, there’s not a lot of waste or scraps. All of our mushroom stems we dehydrate to make gluten free soy sauce. It’s one of those things that we want people to come and sit and enjoy their evening. JL: What do you enjoy most about being part of Bozeman? DR: It’s the community. I’ve lived here for 10 years, off and on, and there’s not a community like this anywhere. It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life and it’s the best thing of all time. So many people are the nicest people and there’s not one thing that I wouldn’t try and give back to this community. JL: What’s your most popular dish? DR: Probably the beef tartar or our mushrooms, which we’ve had since day one. Our tartar has transformed to different styles of tartar but the mushrooms have always stayed the same.
Bisl is a sophisticated and cozy space, and is sure to be a favorite for date nights. The petite confines – with a capacity of 42 diners – creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, decorated with softly worn brick walls and a wood-framed ceiling. The ambiance is warm and personal, with a simple, clean décor of subdued lighting and minimal paintings, a low hum of diners over background music, and both the servers and chefs taking the time to answer diners’ questions and explain how dishes are prepared. Their passion and drive is visible every night. Bisl is open Tuesday – Saturday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Ramen House is open Sunday – Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The ever-growing movement to eat local and support sustainably-harvested ingredients has found a place in Gallatin Valley, and both Bisl and The Ramen House are restaurants where patrons can enjoy the exquisite cuisine sourced from local ingredients and created by local culinary experts. z Jessica is a Private Chef in Bozeman and owner of Bowl and Arrow.

S’MOREING!!! Montana Grant
S
’mores are a Montana and camping tradition. These tasty treats are required at most campfire events. Whether you are camping, on a Scouting adventure, or simply having a campfire in the backyard, S’mores are always welcome. The classic S’more is simple. Two graham crackers, a Hershey Bar, some sharp sticks and marshmallows. The marshmallows are slowly toasted over the coals until golden brown. Rookies usually burn them as the get too close to the flames. Some campers like blackened and burnt but most want that perfect golden brown smushed look as it is sandwiched between the graham crackers and Hershey Bar. It is best to let the chocolate melt, the marshmallow cool and the flavors to melt together. Delicious! S’mores are the bait to lure the kids outside. The things kids, and Grandma’s, will do for some chocolate. Once you have the gang around the fire, it is time for some fun. The magic of the flames just makes folks smile. Maybe a song or two may be needed. Campers sing better in the dark. S’more safety is important. Every time I think about toasting marshmallows, I recall the Dennis the Menace movie. Dennis toasts a marshmallow until it is on fire and flicks it over the fence into Mr. Wilson’s eye! Sharp sticks are always a concern. Make sure to set up some rules. Maybe try some extendable forks rather than pointed sticks. If they fall in the dirt, you can sterilize them in the flames. S’moreing is more than a simple S’more. Get creative. With a little imagination and preparation, you can set up an amazing S’more Buffet Counter. Simply have a selection of ingredients and let the campers invent their own S’more. Now we all know that we could 12 July 2018 BozemanMagazine.com
build a S’more in the microwave but really? They are just not the same. If a campfire is too much of chore, try using your propane Turkey/ fish fry burners. I also have a portable campfire made by Camco called the Little Red Campfire. This campgroundapproved propane fire can be set up anywhere. It
comes in a red metal cake-container-looking carry box. Fake logs and a gas ring give the fire a real presentation. If you set up a buffet bar, you could have this campfire ready for marshmallow grilling. Many folks are now adding outdoor gas fire pits or table inserts.
Recently I saw a S’more recipe in the Field and Stream Magazine. “Bless this Mess” was on the picture of a S’more with brown sugared bacon, chocolate, and marshmallows on top of chocolate chip cookies. They called it a “Supercharged S’more.” Talk about taking it to another level. S’mores don’t need to be on Graham crackers. You can also use cookies, bananas, ice cream cones, tortillas, chips, and whatever other imaginative covers. The toasted tortilla loaded with goodies is called the S’more Por Favor! It is against the rules to eat the chocolate without a S’more. Lazy campers will try to steal the prime ingredient. Place the chocolate in the control of a responsible monitor. I also have found the small mini Hershey bars work great. Chocolate also means Hershey Kisses, Twix bars, Peppermint Patties, Malty Balls, or any other candy that floats your boat. Liquid chocolate sauces and syrups can also be fun additions. This works great when grilling bananas and adding toppings. Proper toasting of marshmallows is a learned skill. Try using hot coals rather than the flames. Patience is important. You also need a stick or fork long enough to allow the roaster to safely and comfortably roast the marshmallow and not themselves. Try rotating the mallow slowly and toast all sides evenly. This golden-brown crust will allow you to set the mallow onto its cracker perfectly. Now add the lid and smoosh the deal together. Originally, marshmallows were invented by native Americans. Marshes along bays and rivers were filled with blue and pink flowers called Marsh Mallows. They would pick the blossoms just before they opened and would boil them in a little water until they formed a pasty substance. This sweet and messy treat was eaten out of the bowl, applied to pemmican, or smeared onto other foods as a sweetener. Not all marshmallows are created equal. Offbrand or cheapo mallows do not have the sturdy texture to withstand the flames. I find that they often melt off the forks. Mallows also come in different flavors. Strawberry, coconut, chocolate, key lime, and plain. You can also use the minis or Jumbo-Sized mallows. S’more fun is all about creating and naming your own S’more. g
HERE ARE SOME MORE S’MORE IDEAS Classic S’mores: Simply toast a pair of
standard mallows, add a small Hershey chocolate bar and smoosh together.
Montana Minty S’mores: Use
Peppermint Patties as the chocolate, mint, and coconut filling.
Gold Dust S’mores: Use coconut-cov-
ered and toasted marshmallows. Sprinkle some brown sugar on top. You can also crush graham crackers into Gold Dust and sprinkle them on top of the toasted mallows.
Cow Pattie S’mores: Substitute huge chocolate chip cookies for the graham crackers.
Lewis & Clark Scooter Pies:
Moon Pies work great for S’mores. They are like cheese-stuffed pizza crusts. Chocolate covered, marshmallow stuffed, then add your fresh S’more add-ons.
Camp Cone S’mores: Ice cream cones
work great for a S’more variation. If you have ice cream, add some of that first. Now pile on the rest of your ingredients. Bring out some whip to top it off.
Montana Chocolate Devils:
Montana is famous for its Huckleberry Chocolates. Chop up some of this special candy to make the chocolate even more Devilish.
Fires Out S’mores: Cold S’mores will do as a quick on the trail treat.
Drift Boat Choc. Peanut Butter S’mores: Peanut Butter Cups are perfect for a boatload of S’more fun. All aboard.
S’mores Por Favor: Toast a tortilla and build your S’more on top. Roll it up and enjoy. This method is a little less mess.
Elvis S’mores: Elvis loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches and S’mores.
Banana Rama S’mores: Place a
banana into a foil wrapper. Slice it down one side and open it like a potato. Now add your ingredients. Place the foiled treat onto the coals for a few minutes. Open and add some whip. Eat this S’more with a spoon.
Cinnamon Toast S’mores: Use
cinnamon toast as the crackers and build your S’more. Perfect when you are out of Graham crackers.
Johnny Appleseed S’mores:
Apples and chocolate and marshmallows. What else needs to be said?
Smuckers S’mores: Have some
squeeze jam or jelly on hand. A perfect topping.
S’mores Waffles: Blueberry waffles
can be toasted or warmed in foil. Now add your S’more requirements. For more Montana Grant, catch him at: www.montanagrantfishing.com

BLAZE THE CDT
Leaving a Legacy on the Continental Divide Trail Chris Nesset
A
map and compass are essential tools for navigation on any hiking trip regardless of our familiarity with a trail or the duration of the trip. Yet on many trips, the map rarely, if ever, sees daylight thanks to the aid of helpful route markers, or trail blazes – a smear of paint on a tree, perhaps, or a wooden sign pointing out the right direction. Regrettably, there are many sections of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT) where navigating by following blazes and signs is impossible. The trail, which runs 3,100 miles from Canada to Mexico along the spine of the Rocky Mountains, is completely unmarked in some sections. In others, blowndown trees and bleaching from the sun have damaged the existing blazes,
14 July 2018 BozemanMagazine.com
making them difficult to spot. While the CDT has been marked in a variety of ways throughout its history, its entire length has never been completely and consistently signed. This year, in honor of the CDT’s 40th anniversary, the Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC) is trying to change that. “The Continental Divide Trail is an incredible natural and recreational resource,” said Teresa Martinez, Executive Director of the CDTC. “By making sure the trail is well-signed, we hope to encourage more people to explore the CDT and the beautiful Rocky Mountain landscapes it traverses.” To that end, the CDTC is mobilizing volunteers from Montana to New
Mexico to help “Blaze the CDT” by surveying current conditions and installing thousands of signs along approximately 750 miles of trail. These volunteers, or “blazers” as they’ve come to be known, include thru-hikers and day hikers, experienced trail maintainers and those who have no idea what a Pulaski is, corporate groups and groups of friends. They’re spreading out along the CDT this summer and fall, with signs and hammers in their packs, to leave their mark on an important conservation legacy. Thanks to efforts by the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, Montana Conservation Corps and volunteer trail adopters, many of the hard-toaccess and hard-to-blaze areas have already been signed in Montana. In 2017, many confusing intersections along the Montana/Idaho border were signed, getting the CDTC that much closer to its goal of blazing the trail. In honor of the 40th anniversary, the organization is coordinating adventurous and passionate hikers to assess the last remaining sections in Montana. More than 100 miles of the trail in the Bob Marshall and Scapegoat Wildernesses are being surveyed this year to determine how best to make the CDT navigable through remote sections of Montana high country. Chad Angell, Field Programs Manager for the CDTC, has been overseeing Blaze the CDT. “Northern Montana is home to some of the most breathtaking and unique places that the CDT passes through,” he said. “They’re also some of the hardest places to access and navigate. It’s all too easy to get lost on the CDT in the Bob, and we need a lot of help to change that.” Volunteers assisting CDTC in the Bob will view some of these remote locations and may even knock the amazing Chinese Wall off of their bucket lists. This infamous limestone spine looms above the CDT for a 5 mile section and runs 22 miles through the Bob Marshall Wilderness while averaging 1,000 feet in height. No matter what section they have chosen, they’re guaranteed a truly wild experience, as it is the longest stretch of the Continental Divide Trail that never touches a road. Blaze the CDT is supported by a partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, the agency that was given the task of establishing and managing the trail in 1978, when the CDT was designated by Congress as a National Scenic Trail. “Partners like the Continental Divide Trail Coalition are vital in helping the Forest Service manage the important recreational resources that are our nation’s trails,” said Brenda Yankoviak, the Forest Service’s Administrator for the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. “Our partnership with CDTC and their dedicated volunteers greatly increases the Forest Service’s capacity to improve the CDT and protect it for future generations.”
Blaze the CDT is an important piece of this partnership, although it extends only through 2018. The long-term protection of the trail relies on CDTC’s Trail Adopter program, through which volunteers “adopt” a section of trail as their own. Adopters commit to survey their section of the CDT at least twice a year, perform light trail maintenance, and update CDTC on the trail conditions. This way, they serve as critical eyes on the trail for Forest Service staff, who are often overseeing millions of acres of land and don’t have time to inspect every area with such frequency to determine where maintenance is needed. In Montana, partner groups like the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation and the Montana Mountain Bike Alliance have already adopted large sections of the trail, yet many miles are still in need of adoption. Anyone interested in adopting a trail section, regardless of trail maintenance experience, is invited to attend a free training in Helena on August 11. Participants will learn basic trail assessment, maintenance and construction techniques in a combined classroom and field setting. Alternatively, for those who would like to help protect the CDT but can’t make a long-term commitment to adopting a trail section, CDTC is hosting a volunteer project at MacDonald Pass from August 13-15 in order to rehabilitate an area along the CDT that was subject to severe flooding. More information about all of these opportunities can be found at continentaldividetrail.org/volunteer. In addition to hosting the 40th anniversary of the CDT, 2018 is an exciting year for all of America’s trails. It marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the National Trails System Act, which established a system of National Scenic, Historic, and Recreation trails. Today, this system includes over 81,000 miles of trails – almost double the mileage of the interstate highway system. The CDT is known as the most rugged, the most remote, and the most difficult of the National Scenic Trails. Thru-hikers like to say that the unofficial motto of the CDT is to “embrace the brutality,” and it is true that, in its entirety, the CDT is not a trail for the inexperienced or the faint of heart. Those who set out to hike all 3,100 miles will encounter everything from long stretches without water to 14,000-foot peaks that are rarely without snow. But there are portions of the trail that are perfect for any and every hiker. In each of the five states that the trail passes through, there are family-friendly day hikes, arrestingly beautiful weekend backpack trips, and challenging high elevation traverses. Through efforts like Blaze the CDT, CDTC hopes to widen the community of people who embrace the trail as a national treasure. t Chris Nesset is your typical Bozeman outdoorswoman, trail lover and Board Member of the Continental Divide Trail Coalition.

YELLOWSTONE
National Park Scott Moses
A
t a national park that spans close to 3,500 square miles with land in three different states, there are bound to be plenty of attractions to keep one busy. Yellowstone National Park is one of the most wellknown and appreciated national parks our country has to offer. Founded in 1872, it is also one of the oldest parks. A mystical landscape of wild bison, huge rivers, towering peaks, and explosive geothermal activity at every turn, Yellowstone is truly a place of wonder that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. Unfortunately, many people who visit Yellowstone only stick to the well maintained and most easily accessible tourist attractions, never daring to go into the huge wilderness area that extends into the Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho wilderness. Almost everyone who goes to Yellowstone will at some time make it to see the Old Faithful geyser erupt. However, where you go to see the eruption of scalding hot, sulfur liquid can make all the difference. In this short article, we offer information on ten attractions at Yellowstone that you simply cannot miss as well as information on how to best enjoy some of the most iconic places Yellowstone has to offer.
Get a Private Showing of Old Faithful Geyser
People from all over the world come to see Old Faithful Geyser, Yellowstone´s most famous geothermal object, erupt every 90 minutes on the clock. It is unquestionably mind boggling how a certain geyser can maintain such punctuality over decades, and it is well worth your time to visit. The park authorities at Yellowstone recently built grandstands (bleacher seating) around the Old Faithful Geyser to allow more people to crowd in to the viewing area every 90 minutes. If you don´t want to have to deal with the crowds or miss seeing the geyser erupt because you were unlucky enough to get a backseat behind some 6 foot, 6-inch guy, consider taking a walk to the backside of the geyser along the boardwalk. You can hang your feet over the boardwalk and enjoy a private showing of Old Faithful.
The Grand Prismatic Hot Spring
While Old Faithful is the most popular geothermal wonder in Yellowstone, there are literally thousands of other bubbling, sulfur-smelling portals into the underworld scattered throughout the park. The Grand Prismatic Hot Spring is the world´s third largest hot spring and has dazzling turquoise color that will make you feel like you´re in the Caribbean Sea and not in the middle of Wyoming. A short hike around the spring will allow you to stare into its near boiling water as you enjoy the beauty that bubbles up from beneath your feet.

Mammoth Hot Springs
Imagine a place where you could watch steaming water gush down terraced rocks that have been naturally painted brilliant reds, pinks and yellows through the constant activity of the geothermal water running over them. Mammoth Hot Springs might not offer good swimming, but the view of the hot springs “waterfall” cascading over the brightly colored rocks is well worth your time. The area is also one of the best places to get close up views of the elk roaming through the park.
Watch Your Step Through Norris Geyser Basin
The Norris Geyser Basin located in Yellowstone National Park is one of the most geothermically active places in the world with hundreds of geothermal features crowded into a few square miles. When walking through this landscape of spewing geysers, stinking mud pots, and brilliant hot springs, you´ll feel like you´ve been transported to the surface of another planet. The Steamboat Geyser, located in the basin, is the world´s tallest geyser and can shoot water upwards of 400 feet in the air. Unlike it´s more punctual cousin Old Faithful, the Steamboat Geyser is unpredictable, so plan to spend several hours at the Norris Geyser Basin to increase your chances of seeing it erupt. Here’s a quick history of Steamboat Geyser that you should check out. (I’m not seeing the history).

Lamar Valley
When planning your trip to Yellowstone, you´ve probably come across a few pictures of bison standing proudly over a steaming river. Lamar Valley is the place for those types of Instagram shots. Often referred to as the American Serengeti, this valley is a hotspot for wildlife activity and with a little patience, you have a pretty good shot at spotting buffalo herds, elk, bear, and even wolves.
Hike Up Mount Washburn
Arguably the most famous peak in Yellowstone, Mount Washburn allows people of all ages to get to the top of one of the highest peaks in the area in order to enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. There are two different trails that converge at the top of the mountain, and both hikes, though they do take you to an elevation well over 10,000 feet, are moderate climbs that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It´s best to leave early in the morning (the earlier the better) to avoid some of the crowds along the path. The less noise you make, the better the chance you´ll have of spotting some of Yellowstone´s wildlife such as bears and mountain goats.
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone Overlook
There are few places at Yellowstone National Park that offer a more spectacular view than at the overlook of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Two towering waterfalls (the upper falls and the lower falls) fall gracefully and powerfully down the sheer cliffs, giving testament to the power of the water that patiently and gradually carved out the massive canyon.
Hike the Hayden Valley Trail
For people who enjoy longer hikes, there is no better way to get the full Yellowstone experience than by hiking the Hayden Valley Trail. Since this valley is so centrally located, thousands of tourists come here to search for wildlife roaming the valley. The vast majority of visitors, however, stick to the roads and never get into the backcountry. The Hayden Valley Trail takes you from Yellowstone Lake to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Most of the trail takes you alongside Yellowstone River which makes this a great place to spot huge herds of buffalo and other wildlife.
Yellowstone Lake
The National Park is also home to largest high-altitude mountain lake in the continental United States. Yellowstone Lake is a massive body of water with snowcapped peaks surrounding it in the distance. After several days of hiking and exploring the other wonders of Yellowstone, relaxing at Yellowstone Lake is a great way to wind down. Lake Village and its massive hotel make for a great place to pamper yourself after a long couple of days on the trail.
Walk to the Bottom of Tower Fall
While most visitors only visit the Upper and Lower Falls that fall in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, the Tower Fall, located in the northern part of the park, is equally impressive and offers an opportunity for a close-up view. Once you get to the 132-foot high waterfall, you can opt for a short (but extremely steep) hike down to the bottom of the falls. If you are really brave, consider visiting Yellowstone in the winter time and take appropriate snowshoes to hike down to the bottom of Tower Fall where you´ll find a massive waterfall frozen in time as the entire fall is encased in ice.
The Wonders of Yellowstone
These are only a few of the many things that Yellowstone has to offer. With thousands of miles of hiking trails crisscrossing the park and a virtually infinite wilderness backcountry beckoning you to explore, you could easily spend months at the park and not even see the tip of the iceberg.

Take Me To The River... Ashley Nettles
A
ir conditioning used to be unheard of in Montana. There was absolutely no reason to have it since you might use it once or twice a year. Most houses around here are still not built with A/C. But there’s no doubt it’s getting hotter. Seeking relief from the heat, most of us run to the nearest body of water. Here, we’re pretty lucky. Rivers abound within a short drive from Main Street. For your summer fun and heat relief, I recommend the following:
THE MADISON
A great float you can take your grandma on, the section from Warm Springs to Black’s Ford is calm and straightforward. Running low in the height of summer, there is little to worry about other than where the cooler went and who brought the Bluetooth speaker. Awesome: Close to Bozeman and easy to do in an afternoon. Gentle enough that nearly anything, including the oft-seen air mattress can ride down it. Caution: This place is a party and everyone is invited. Including your drunk creepy cousin. If you’re looking for a quiet ‘get-back-to-nature’ experience, this is not it. Carpool or take a shuttle (Madison River Tubing) as parking can be impossible on the weekends. Fish: There are some nice rainbow and brown trout as well as mountain whitefish to be found in the early morning or late evening. Any other time you’re likely to be fighting absent minded tubers out of your spot on the lower section. Just past Ennis Dam or below Black’s Ford will afford a little more peace. Food: Hit up Mama Mack’s in Four Corners for delicious sandwiches to go.
THE GALLATIN
If you’re looking for adventure, the upper stretch has plenty of heart pounding rapids. The lower stretch near Manhattan peacefully winds through farmland and trees.

Awesome: The scenery changes rapidly, from canyons to meadows and into the valley. Parts of the movie A River Runs Through It were filmed here. Caution: Named the “Mad Mile,” the upper stretch is no joke. Go with an experienced guide (Montana Whitewater). The lower stretch is surrounded by private property and there are often downed trees in areas that will require some technical maneuvering. Stay alert. Fish: Sections of this river are classified as “Blue Ribbon,” a designation by the government to identify high quality fisheries. There is no boat fishing
allowed on the upper Gallatin, but there are points in the canyon you can easily access on foot. Food: The Inn on the Gallatin has breakfast to die for and generous helpings. Stacy’s in Gallatin Gateway has your classic steak and potatoes, along with country dancing in the evening.
THE JEFFERSON
Similar in size to the Madison, the third tributary of the Missouri has gentle flows after spring run-off. Gently curving through farmland, this is a peaceful float.
Awesome: Like the Madison, there is little to worry about on this river other than forgetting the sunblock. Caution: Late summer can lend to low flows and plenty of moss making your float a little more work. The typical take out point at William’s Bridge is a popular spot for bridge jumping and parking can overflow. Fish: Brown trout, Mountain Whitefish, and Rainbows all lurk in these waters. As mentioned above, the moss and low flows can make things difficult late summer. Food: Willow Creek Café & Saloon has the best ribs around. Call ahead to make a reservation (406) 285-6398.
THE YELLOWSTONE
Over the Bozeman Pass, you’ll find a river that offers it all- whitewater, fishing, and scenery for days. Awesome: This is an incredible river that has something for everyone and is large enough it never feels crowded. There are plenty of islands to land on and are a rock hunter’s paradise with everything from agate to petrified wood.
Caution: Yankee Jim Canyon has large rapids aptly named “Boat Eater” among others. While the lower stretch is much calmer, this river is known for serious undertows and bizarre eddies that can send you back upstream. Go with someone that can read the water. Fish: This is a fun one to fish where you can try out all the weird things in your tackle or fly box. What worked yesterday won’t necessarily work today, and you might be surprised what will pull them in. Food: Mark’s In and Out in Livingston has been serving up the best old school burgers, corn dogs, malts and shakes for decades. There is always a line but it moves quickly.
THE SMITH
The crème de la crème of rivers and on State Park land, you’ll need to win a permit to access it. The lottery runs from January 2nd to February 15th with June and early July the hardest dates to pull. If you are able to go on a moment’s notice, you might be lucky enough to snag a cancelled permit. Call (406) 454-5861 to see if today is your lucky day.
Awesome: Truly an incredible scenic adventure, this stretch will take your breath away. With no cell service and limited access, you’ll feel that you’ve discovered your own private paradise. Caution: This is a 5-day camping trip in which you need to be prepared for variable Montana weather, no access to resources and zero support. Careful planning is required. Fish: A game of timing. Early season the river can run muddy and fishing will be difficult. However, high flows mean the time between camp sites goes quickly. Late season the fishing can be ‘lights-out,’ but you need to carefully time your days so you can get to the next camp before dark. Food: Bring your own. There are no resources, no cell service and little to forage for. That said, there is a hidden paradise halfway through your float that offers ice cream sandwiches. Follow the signs. n Ashley Nettles is a Bozeman native that enjoys all the outdoors has to offer.

GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE!
The Bozeman Pedal Project Providing Female Cyclists a Summer of Fun Patrick Greeley, photo Melissa Cronin
F
emale readers who have sought a group of women bicyclists to accompany them on rides must look no further, for the Bozeman Pedal Project fits the criteria of an extravagant summer filled with adventure, trails, and camaraderie. Since the summer of 2015, the Bozeman Pedal Project has served as an outlet for female cyclists to step outside their comfort zones and participate with fellow cycling enthusiasts in pursuit of the overall goal of exercise and fun. The origins of the Bozeman Pedal Project lie in the friendship of two separate groups of female cyclists who formed a kinship over their adoration of bike riding. While one group primarily focused on riding alongside the road, the other group found solace in mountain biking among the abundance of mountain trails Bozeman has to offer. As the groups found enjoyment riding
20 July 2018 BozemanMagazine.com
with one another, they decided to merge together, and the Bozeman Pedal Project was born. Following their decision to collaborate with each other, the Bozeman Pedal Project took to Facebook, creating a page to entice eager female riders. Since their founding in 2015, the Facebook page has grown substantially from a modest 45 members to boasting over 750 members. While the Bozeman Pedal Project flourishes due to the wide range of female riders, Mollie Call, Sarah Guggenheim-Alexander, Karen Mitchell, Mellissa Cronin and Molly Bowman are credited as the founders of the Bozeman Pedal Project, all of whom are strong advocates for cycling on any terrain. Call, a teacher who is delighted to help spark confidence and excitement in women riders, specializes in road riding, whereas Guggenheim-Alexander, Mitchell, Cronin and Bowman find their strong suit is in mountain biking. With the help
of the Bozeman Pedal Project, the founders have built on their prior strong set of cycling knowledge, such as Guggenheim-Alexander co-founding the Bozeman Youth Cycling Program for excited children riders, and Cronin achieving her level 1 Professional Mountain Bike Instructors Certificate, proving that the founders have immense wisdom to pass on to female riders. The Bozeman Pedal Project founders have worked tirelessly to assure riders a safe and joyful experience riding while also organizing bike riding events all summer long. Bike rides are divided into two categories: road rides, hosted by Call, and mountain bike rides, led by a rotation of Guggenheim-Alexander, Mitchell, Cronin, or Bowman. Road rides are held every Monday this summer going into September, meeting at the Bozeman Public Library at 6:00 p.m. According to the Bozeman Pedal Project’s website, the road rides will consist of an hour to an hour and a half rides focusing on group dynamics, efficient riding techniques, and education on communicating with traffic and other riders within the group using hand signals. As for Wednesday night, the Bozeman Pedal Project hosts ladies mountain bike rides, starting at the same time. Growing in popularity over the last three summers, the mountain bike rides will vary in the difficulty in trails, focusing on introducing local women to new trails and developing friendships between other female riders. The website asks for cyclists to come prepared with essential bike riding gear, such as a helmet, sunglasses, and comfortable clothing, while also insisting riders bring some water and a snack to keep energy levels high. Furthermore, both the road rides and mountain bike rides pertain to the no-drop mantra, meaning no one gets left behind, proving the Bozeman Pedal Project has determined to build a biking atmosphere comfortable for all levels of riders, or as the website claims about the rides “a great opportunity to meet new people, admire the Bozeman scenery, all while burning some calories!” Although rides come to an end near the end of September, the Bozeman Pedal Project has set action to host events outside of riding. In 2015, the Bozeman Pedal Project inaugurated its monthly mountain bike skills clinic for free, and open to all genders, with the help of local community volunteers. The monthly mountain bike skills clinic have been one of the more adored group offerings, with coaches offering their expertise to members curious about improving skills, specific mountain bike maneuvers, bike fitting, road strategies, trail etiquette, cyclocross, and more. That same year, in the spring of 2015, the Bozeman Pedal Project hosted its first spring kick-off, potluck, and skills clinic at Lewis and Clark Caverns, becoming an annual part of the schedule. The Bozeman Pedal Project has since added an annual October potluck as way for members of the project to say goodbye to biking season by sharing experiences and photographs, introducing spouses, and drinking some delicious spirits from Wild Rye. Lastly, Owenhouse Bikes and Bozeman Pedal Project have partnered together in hosting proper bicycle maintenance classes, proving to be a booming success. The maintenance classes have helped educate participants in all facets of proper bike maintenance, ranging from changing bike tubes, to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. Even though the season for riding trails will come to an end, the Bozeman Pedal Project has not fallen short in offering a wide range of activities for members who wish to further their own knowledge. Overall, the Bozeman Pedal Project has put forth a tremendous effort in organizing bike riding events for all levels of female’s cyclists. The Bozeman Pedal Project summarizes its goal of the project elegantly, stating “Everyone is welcome and is embraced as a sister of the bike. The ride groups are a safe venue for riders to test the edges of their comfort zones and improve their skills while laughing and enjoying our beautiful area.” Bike rides will be hosted weekly by the Bozeman Pedal Project at 6:00 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday throughout this summer for women of all levels of cycling, providing a safe environment for female bike riders to indulge and explore Bozeman’s sublime wilderness amongst each other’s company.

Sure to be a Hit Pat Hill
A
new music festival slated for its debut in Big Sky this August will feature musicians like Grace Potter and Bruce Hornsby performing in a mountainous amphitheater. Organizers hope the event becomes a mainstay of
24 July 2018 BozemanMagazine.com
the Southwest Montana summer experience. Tom Garnsey of Vootie Productions told Bozeman Magazine that he is excited to be a part of this new festival at Moonlight Basin, partnering with the Arts Council of Big Sky, Moonlight Basin,
Big Sky Resort, the Lone Mountain Land Company, and the Big Sky Real Estate Company to bring the idea to fruition. “We’ve been talking about it for a few years now,” said Garnsey, adding that even the site of the event had been narrowed down for quite some time. When the decision was made earlier this year to launch the music festival this summer, Garnsey went into action putting together the lineup. “I can usually scramble if I need to,” he said, referring to organizing a summer music festival on relatively short notice. “And when you get to February or March, it’s scrambling.” Garnsey said that after throwing some names into the hat seeking a diverse lineup, looking at the selections one at a time, and deciding an approach, the hope is that you land the bands you want in that relatively short span of time. “And it’s looking like a nice little party we’ve put together,” he said. “We’ve got a fun bunch of bands, both local and national, and everyone’s looking forward to it.” The fun begins on Thursday, Aug. 16, at Big Sky’s Town Center Park, with a free show featuring the Two Bit Franks opening for the Jeff Austin Band as part of the Arts Council’s summer series. Then the action moves to the north side of Lone Mountain at Moonlight Basin’s Madison Base Area. Getting the ball rolling for the inaugural Moonlight Music Festival will be the Hawthorne Roots out of Bozeman, a local band gaining a solid regional reputation. “To be opening at a festival featuring Grace Potter and Bruce Hornsby...that’s quite an honor,” Madeline Kelly of the Hawthorne Roots said. Following the Hawthorne Roots will be the Mission Temple Fireworks Revival featuring Paul Thorn and his band and the Blind Boys of Alabama. These award-winning artists blend a mix of soul, rock, gospel, blues, and country providing an experience
that Thorn describes as “like taking a 6-pack to church!” The Wood Brothers take the stage next. This popular American folk trio just released their sixth record in February, and the band pays frequent trips to the northern Rocky Mountain region to the delight of its fan base there. Topping of the evening will be Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers, putting some new twists on old Hornsby classics. Saturday kicks off with The Well, Big Sky’s newest rock band, combining members from some of the area’s favorite bands of the past decade. Up next is The Suffers, who say that they offer up “a heaping dose of soul, a dash of reggae, a splash of jazz, a pinch of salsa, a hint of rock ‘n’ roll and a dollop of hip-hop and funk.” Next up is Anderson East, a fast-rising entertainer embarking on a whirlwind tour who is definitely making a mark in the industry. The husky-voiced gritty-blues and-soul-toasting singer is taking it all in stride.
“I’m way more comfortable in my own skin onstage,” East says of his evolution as a must-see performer. Following East is the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, who are well on the way to being counted among the most prolific rock and roll bands of their time, according to many music critics. “The music that we make, the concerts that we play, it’s this world we’ve created for ourselves and our people,” explains Robinson. “We want everybody to understand that no matter where you are in your life that you can always be barefoot in your head.” Next up with his band is “the Father of Newgrass and King of Telluride,” AKA Sam Bush, who has long since established himself as roots royalty, revered for both his solo and sideman work. Bush’s awards include an Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award and a suite of Grammys and International Bluegrass Music Association trophies, yet he still strives to bring something new to the mix. A live show with the Sam Bush Band is a pure delight. The evening wraps up with one of the queens of rock and roll, Grace Potter. Described by Spin as
“one of the greatest living voices in rock today,” and by SF Weekly as “the whole package,” Grace Potter continues to impress both critics and audiences with her musical achievements and captivating live shows. A Grace Potter performance should be on every rock fan’s bucket list, and to catch her live in an outdoor setting is even better. The weekend’s festivities will also include camping (tents, RVs and campers), arts & crafts vendors, food trucks, family events, a beer garden, and some surprises as well. Those surprises include late night acts at Montana Jack’s in Big Sky following festival performances, with the Hooligans on Thursday, the Jamie Mclain Band on Friday, and Reckless Kelly on Saturday. And Garnsey said that somewhere in that late-night mix there will probably be another surprise performer. “We think we’ve got a good one lined up,” said Garnsey. “We’re committed to making it work, and we hope it will become an annual event.” For more info on the Moonlight Music Festival, including ticket prices and more, go to moonlightmusicfest.com h Pat Hill is a freelance writer in Bozeman.

The Dusty Pockets

Brian Ripple
T
he Dusty Pockets are a recently formed (within a year or so) band out of Bozeman, MT. Their original music explores genres from blues to country, folk and soul, and is most comfortably described by the band as Americana Roots. The current formation of the Dusty Pockets, as we know them today, has been playing together for a little over a year now. Their first show as the current five piece was at the Cannery District last summer as a “The Band” Tribute. Since then they have been working hard to make a name for themselves, and their Debut album Hardline will be released at the end of the month on July 27. Recorded by the Dusty Pockets at their rehearsal studio over the last several months, it boasts ten tracks all written by the band. The Dusty Pockets took it upon themselves to renovate John’s garage into a comfortable recording studio which enabled them to maintain the creative control over the recording process and at the same time have a space to record in where everyone could feel completely relaxed. The Initial vision for the band was to be primarily a studio project, but as time progressed that vision began to morph as the recording process opened up new avenues for live performances. According to bassist John Griffith the whole concept has become more malleable than it was at the beginning. While everyone in the Dusty Pockets is currently (happily) employed outside of the band, the discussions are swirling about the possibilities of taking the band on some kind of
26 July 2018 BozemanMagazine.com
smaller tours if they would make sense for everyone involved. As their bio states, the Dusty Pockets call themselves Americana Roots, or as Griff puts it, Recreational Americana, with song themes including love, family, strife, beliefs and of course pets. While everyone is an equal contributor, Dave wrote nine of the ten songs lyrics from the album. “Dave will typically come to the band with a rough sketch of the song, and let us color it in and fill in the blanks. Matt usually delivers a melody line that will typically solidify the track.” When prompted for a couple songs from Hardline that stand out to him the most Griff says he really likes them all, but he admits he enjoys the last track, “Daggers,” stating that it ‘feels unique to the album and has a bit more of a darker 90’s alternative vibe with a cool very interlude section in the middle of the song.’ “Tell Me You Do”is the first track on the album that is a full on rock song, and being fourth track on the album Griff believes it is a head turner. Like “Daggers” the song features an interlude section with several dynamic changes. If you love dancing and Recreational Americana music, come to the Dusty Pockets CD release party on July 27 at the Rialto in downtown Bozeman. The Horn Stars will be there playing with them on several tracks, and their friends the Lazy Owl String Band will be opening the show. If you are more into buying a CD than live music, the album Hardline will be available at Cactus Records, Spotify, itunes, Pandora and almost everywhere you can buy music. Also in preproduction are 12” vinyl records of the new album. These will be available at the Dusty Pockets 2018 Cannery District show which takes place on September 5, where they will be doing a “Little Brothers” set or playing a lot of Little Feat and Allman Brothers Band songs as well as some DP originals.

H HOT SPRINGS ’ unter s
The Forgotten Opulence of a Bygone Era Cindy Shearer
L
ong before any emigrants came to the Northwest, Native Americans would carry their sick to the place that would later become known as Hunter’s Hot Springs, 20 miles east of Livingston, to bathe in and drink the hot and healing waters. The hot springs were in Crow country, and at certain periods of the year, hundreds of members of that tribe would camp there. Andrew Jackson Hunter was born in Virginia in 1816 and became a physician at a rather early age in Louisiana. By 1856, Dr. Hunter was serving as a physician for the Illinois Central Railway. After the death of his first wife, he moved to Benton County, Missouri, where he married his second wife Susannah. With the outbreak of the Civil War, Dr. Hunter entered the Confederate Army as a surgeon. Dr. Hunter’s family had been slave holders and possessed considerable wealth, which had not been dissipated by the war. Relocating to Missouri as the war was coming to an end, the couple and their small family acquired a substantial farm, a general store and drug store, and a spacious home. The closing days of the war, though, brought an end to their lives there--seen as Southern sympathizers and with his participation in the Confederate army, their home and store were burned to the ground. So began their trek west April 2, 1864. Originally heading to California along the Oregon Trail, Dr. Hunter changed his mind after hearing stories of gold strikes in Virginia City. Traveling a day behind John Bozeman’s wagon train, Dr. Andrew Jackson Hunter, his wife Susannah, and three children left North Platte along with 15 other travelers in

hopes of striking it rich in the gold country of Virginia City. On July 18, 1864, while hunting antelope a few miles north of the Yellowstone River where the small wagon train was camped, Dr. Hunter spotted the hot springs and several hundred Crow Indians that were camped there. In a memoir written by daughter Mary Hunter Doane, “My Father had spent much time at Arkansas Hot Springs, and it was his thought to return at an early date in order to secure right to these springs as a home. In January 1869, my Father with his family returned to Bozeman and again visited the Springs. In 1870 Father took the place as “Squatters’Right,” there having been no survey of that section.” The building of a home in 1870 was closely followed by the building of a dam between the hot and cold springs. This created a pool that was used for many years by both the white visitors and the Crow people that were accustomed to frequent the place. In 1873, bath houses were constructed and work began on the sanitarium. Until the mid-1870s, the Hunters lived at the springs intermittently due to troubles from traveling bands of Sioux and Piegan Blackfeet. In diaries, newspaper articles, and memoirs the stories of stolen horses, killed cattle, and destroyed gardens are consistent. In an article by historian Merrill Burlingame about the Hunter family and Mary Hunter Doane, he writes, “Mrs. Doane recalls many adventures which took place at the Hot Springs. During any absence of the men of the household, the house was securely barricaded, and Mrs. Hunter and the girls became adept in the use of firearms.” From The Bozeman Courier July 2, 1937, “Upon one occasion when a party of hostile Sioux was headed in their direction, Mrs. Hunter lashed
children to the backs of horses and then tied herself to the back of one, and all swam the Yellowstone when it was at flood stage.” The first post office was established there in 1878, with Dr. Hunter the first postmaster. The resort got its first big boost in 1882 when the Northern Pacific Railroad pushed west through the region. By the next year Dr. Hunter had erected a hotel with full facilities. In 1885, the hotel and development was sold to the Montana Hot Springs Company which was owned by Cyrus B. Mendenhall, Herber Roberts, and A.L. Love. Mendenhall, a rancher, put up the first frame hotel, and sought to make Hunter’s Hot Springs the county seat. In 1889, the property was once again sold, this time to Mr. and Mrs. James A. Murray. According to the Great Falls Tribune, Murray was “a millionaire Butte banker, who was a collector of hotels and a gambler of heart.” Murray set about to build the most luxurious hotel west of St. Louis. He included the existing hotel and pool area behind the Moorish façade of the new building. Murray had the architectural firm of Link & Haire design and supervise the building project. Fred F. Willson, then working for the firm in Butte, made a number of trips to the Springs to supervise construction. The hotel was two stories in height with a frontage of 450 feet and a depth which varied from 100 to 250 feet. The hotel could accommodate 350 guests. The semi-circular solarium on the east end of the building was enclosed with art glass windows and decorated with ferns, palms, and other plants. The pool section was reached by an enclosed corridor; the pool itself was 103 feet by 50 feet with forty dressing rooms. The Hotel Dakota was completed in 1909 at a cost of $150,000. At the same time as the hotel was being built, a bottling plant for mineral water was established. There were five hot plunges, five vapor baths, and numerous tub baths. Outdoors there was a golf course, tennis courts, cricket fields, and saddle horses. Hunter’s Hot Springs was a major cultural center; the Montana State Republican and Democratic conventions were held at the resort. The golf course was host to several state golf tournaments, and The Montana Tennis Association held a state tennis tournament in 1909; the courts were fashioned from a mixture of sand and molasses. This sun baked surface provided a “firm resilient surface.” Hunter’s Hot Springs had a farm that supplied fresh vegetables, a ranch that supplied beef, and a herd of dairy cows that supplied the Hotel Dakota with milk; a poultry farm provided eggs and chickens. The resort prospered, the food was superb and there was live music every evening for entertainment and dancing. In 1914, five trains each day, three westbound and two eastbound, stopped at Springdale, providing easy transportation for folks looking for a therapeutic soak, relaxing vacation, or party-filled weekend. Time, however, brought a change in modes of transportation. At first the automobile was expected to increase the hotel business, but it had a different effect. Travelers tended to travel farther and spend less time in any given place. Then another blow fell when prohibition was enacted in Montana in 1916. Hunter’s Bar had long been one of the best known drinking establishments in the state with a well-stocked cellar of fine wines and liquors. An article in the Great Falls Tribune stated, “Determined to continue the jovial element of good cheer, but quite out of keeping with traditional standards, the resort management entered the manufacture of liquor. In a treeshaded hollow the officials set up a distillery and hired a man to operate it. Here, where the necessary water flowed from underground springs, they contrived to make fine bourbon…It was bottled in the old bottling plant and sold
to all who came. The liquor business flourish; that of mineral water ceased.” Bootlegging had an unfortunate effect on the reputation of the resort. By the end of the 1920s, though it was still grand, it was no longer a family place. On November 3, 1932, the Hotel Dakota burned in about four hours. The fire was caused by an electrical fault in the west wing, which was suspected and sought for days before. Ironically, the reservoir and hydrants that were needed to fight the fire had been drained on November 1st to guard against freezing. Although the hotel was gone, the springs continued to flow and the property sold in 1944. The pool was restored and a Quonset hut erected over it. Harold and Mavis Johnson operated the pool where many area children had weekly swim lessons and attended swim meets. The Johnsons closed the pool in 1974 because of the labor involved in keeping it opened. In 1989, the property was sold to Japanese investors who put up two greenhouses to take advantage of the thermal springs. This effort failed by the fall of 1992, citing poor economic conditions in Japan. Today, the only thing that remains of Hunter Hot Springs is the capped springs, which are difficult to find, but can sometimes be seen at the base of a trail of steam that has escaped from the caps. To locate Hunter Hot Springs today and see if you can envision an enormous hotel on its site, take I-90 east past Livingston to exit 354 toward MT-563 Springdale. p Cindy Shearer is a volunteer at the Gallatin History Museum in Bozeman and also the Gallatin Historical Society Board President.

ith what feels like more dogs than people and an abundance of wild places, visitors to Bozeman and residents alike have plenty of choices when it comes to taking your furry friend out! Here at Bozeman Magazine, we’ve compiled a list of the Top Places in Bozeman to take your dog!
DOG PARK AT THE GALLATIN REGIONAL PARK 3900 Baxter Ln
Bozeman’s premium dog park gets the number one spot. This park is 13 acres of pure off-leash play area complete with a beach and diving dock. Entrance to the dog park is off Ferguson Avenue, near the corner of Baxter Ln. This popular dog playground does get extremely busy after work and on weekends.
LEWIS AND BARK DOG PARK ON FOWLER 700-550 N. Fowler
This neighborhood dog park has a shaded pavilion and plenty of space for your dog to run. There is also a separate enclosure for your new puppy or smaller dog if running around with the big dogs isn’t your thing. 30 July 2018 BozemanMagazine.com
HEART OF THE VALLEY DOG PARK 1549 E Cameron Bridge Rd
This park is HUGE and located between Bozeman and Belgrade at the Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter. This park is perfect if your dog needs a bigger area to run offleash, and once you have circled the main park you can take your dog down into the old gravel pit for some more rugged terrain. There are water stations available and a separate enclosure for smaller and less socialized dogs.
SNOWFILL PARK OFF LEASH DOG AREA 2956 McIlhattan Road
Snowfill Recreation Area is a 37-acre off-leash dog park with two miles of trails throughout the park along with a dog drinking fountain and toilet facilities. This park is a favorite with locals and used throughout the year with hiking and sledding in the winter.
CANINE BEACH AT THE BOZEMAN POND 700-550 N. Fowler
The canine beach at Bozeman Pond is a small fenced area bordering the pond where your dog can swim to its heart’s content. This pond is home to plenty of water birds, so please be respectful of the wildlife.
SOURDOUGH CANYON Nash Rd to Sourdough Canyon Rd
For those with well-socialized dogs who respond immediately to voice command, Sourdough Canyon is a great place to hike with your dog off leash. The creek is accessible alongside the trail for the first couple of miles, offering plenty of places for your pooch to stop and cool off. This trail is heavily used by families including young children on weekends, so it’s best to plan your visit at other less popular times.
BURKE PARK
S. Church Ave./ Story St. or Bozeman Library parking lot and Josephine Dr.
COOPER PARK OFF LEASH DOG AREA 700 W Story Rd.
There’s loads of room for your pet to play at this off-leash park with trails and open space. Burke Park (also known as Peets Hill) is not fenced, and you’ll want to bring water with you. This trail is popular with runners, so please make sure your dog is under your control at all times.
CENTENNIAL PARK OFF LEASH DOG AREA N. Tracy and Tamarack
This old baseball field turned dog park is partially fenced, but has no gates. Your dog will have a great time running around at this park, located on the Gallatin County Fairgrounds property. Be sure to bring water for your dog; none is available on site.
Locals call this in-town unfenced park “Pooper Park.” If your dog is well behaved and responds to voice commands, Cooper Park is a great place to roam. There is always a wide variety of dogs to play with at any time of day, and the park has benches and picnic tables to hang out at.
SOFTBALL COMPLEX Highland Blvd. and Ellis St.
This dog park is south of Bozeman’s Softball Complex near Bozeman Health (hospital). Just off I-90, this small dog park is a narrow corridor around the outfield of the softball diamond that has enough room to run and burn off some energy. Be sure to bring water for your dog; none is available on site. We are fortunate to live in an area where we have an abundance of trails and almost unlimited places to take our dogs. Go out and explore! r Casey Norris, a New Zealand native has called Bozeman home for the past five years. When she’s not on the trail with her family and dogs taking photos, Casey spends her time painting.

uess what’s about to happen in the beautiful Gallatin Valley? Yes, it’s time for the grandkids to visit “Nana Tree and Papa S” in Bozeman! Of course, I would not want to reveal their identities, ages or places of residence, so those particulars are, well, sort of made up. Any resemblance to the actual grandkids is purely coincidental. Just know they are real persons, five in number, and ranging in age from under ten, to tweens, to teens. This is one of those rare years when all five will be in Bozeman at the same time. Usually we see them separately; more quality time as they say, but due to a special occasion this year we are delighted to see them all together. Happy days are here again. Big question: What to do for grandkids’ fun and entertainment? Short list of possibilities: We’ll want to try a day hike, go to the Museum of the Rockies (MOR), play outdoor games at Bozeman Ponds Pavilion and hit the candy and t-shirt shops. We might try some fishing, but Papa and Nana Tree only do the kind of fishing we did in northeastern Montana. In the Gallatin Valley, only catch and release is allowed. The grandkids would not want to be exposed to someone cleaning and then eating their catch. Fish comes in a box and is breaded to disguise the real thing, like little nuggets you see. My mind has been very active in preparation for this happy upcoming visit. So busy, that I have these recurring dreams, probably based on some realities. The events and occurrences as described in this article have not happened yet. So don’t get all worked up about some dream dust. Just a little preview for you; one dream has the kids casting plastic bait with no hook into a clear pool, then recasting for a long time. Once, on a tremendous powerful cast by the youngest of them, the entire pole is let go and flung into the reservoir. Then Mom has to fish for the fishing pole. This is quite entertaining to watch, and I wake up laughing. We’ll go fishing for sure. Since one of the main goals is to get the grandkids off their electronic devices, naturally my dreams have them exploring the wonders of nature, far enough away from civilization so the devices don’t function. The day hike dream begins with a flurry of preparation starting at 6 a.m. when all are awakened. After a hearty breakfast, Nana Tree sets out the items for our backpacks. We have decided on a trek up Middle Cottonwood. It will be double duty as Tree and I will scout the area for “secret” huckleberry patches to visit later in the summer when things quiet down. Don’t tell anyone that the best huckleberries are found in northern Idaho, up near Sandpoint. I got into a bit of trouble for revealing more details at one time. You’ll have to find them yourself. Do not ask. We pack the usual items, only a lot more of them. These include water, rain gear, dry socks, dry clothes and first aid kit. Lots of food and snacks, everyone’s favorite sandwich and trail mix. Next, several canisters of bear spray. As we proceed on this preparation, I feel a tug on my old Wolf Point t-shirt; you know, the favorite one that everyone thinks I wear all summer. Actually, I have two, and yes, they do get washed, just not too often as they are getting pretty thin. Anyway, the tug and then the conversation:
Papa S: Well, guess we have everything; going through the checklist here… water, check; snacks, check…bear spray… Grandchild: Bear spray, Papa? What is that for? Papa S: Well, occasionally out in the wild in this area one might come upon a bear, might even be a grizzly. So, although it is unlikely, we always want to be prepared in the event of an encounter. When you get a bit older, we can show you how it works. Grandchild: Real bears, Papa? Not like Paddington who walks around London and talks? Not like Fuzzy Wuzzy? Hey Papa, you have no hair either! They all latch onto this observance and sing out the “Fuzzy Wuzzy” song, except the words are now changed to “wuzzy fuzzy” in reference to Papa’s younger years. Papa S, trying to get them back on topic, in a serious voice: Yes, real bears, out in the wild. Grandkids, IN UNISON: Yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes……….! The kids are jumping around, wiggling, dancing and falling on the floor in wild frenzies. ALTOGETHER IN LOUD VOICES: Let’s do Peets Hill! Oldest grandchild: Or the MOR! Oh, just a dream! I’m sure the hike up Peets Hill will be fun. During the next visits, we will take them up Middle Cottonwood. Another must-do is a night or two of camping. In my wild dreams, we are again in a frenzy of preparing. We start with several sizes of tents, water containers, sleeping pads and bags and extra warm clothing. We add lots of food, especially two-foot long hot dogs for roasting, then add several more packs of hot dogs since some will end up in the fire. Then, healthy food such as veggies and fruit which come out first at the campsite but are seldom eaten since everyone knows about and waits for the hot dogs. Our family traditional camping dessert and our specialty “pieces de resistance” are gluten-free s’mores, so we pack boxes of the necessary ingredients. The youngsters are all excited as they gather around the bins as we add the final items of pillows, flashlights, sunscreen and a gallon canister of bear spray. Their eyes widen and anxious looks are exchanged. Words are whispered in Nana Tree’s ear, something about the bear spray, and before we know it, there is a major change in plans for the evening. After a trip to the MOR, we set up a tent in the family room and watch “Paddington Bear II” for the sixth time. We boil the hot dogs, but by then, everyone wants take-out pizza, so Papa calls in a large order. For dessert, we have “gummy
bears.” I’m not sure if it is in my nightmares or day mares, but I see gooey s’mores with melted marshmallows and chocolate squeezing out across our couches and floors. Gasp! A fun day trip is to take the kids to Virginia City and Nevada City. In my dream version, (or is it real life?) we are bombarded with questions, such as “What is all this old stuff for? Why is it so dusty in here? and my favorite: Where’s the Mall?” Lucky for us there is a candy store in Virginia City, and each child is allowed to fill one bag. We agree that this should take an hour or so, and Papa will have some time to rest his feet in the rocking chair by the front door. In approximately three minutes, the bags are heaping full. After the bags are weighed, Papa puts in a call to the debit card company, so they won’t think this large of a purchase at a candy store in Montana is suspicious. On the way back to Bozeman, Nana Tree announces that each of them will be allowed to choose one piece of candy to eat for the trip. This is very hard to monitor. By that time, the great candy exchange is taking place, and no one knows which were their selections. We soon have multiple sticky prints on all surfaces and windows of the rear seats. Someone’s large “sticky rope pinwheel sucker” is stuck to the door panel. As we unload the kids, now hyper with all that sugar, I pick up the candy from the back seats and put it in one large bag. Nana and I now have a supply of candy for the next two years. My dreams are over, but I know our adventure is waiting. We love to have these visits from the grandkids. It’s a time for lots of hugs, listening to their stories, enjoying great outdoor hikes and trips, reading good books, playing games and just hanging out. We spoil them, sure, but their parents have another year to get them back to real life. It’s all about those precious young lives, times to cherish, and memories for a lifetime. s Jerry Schuster is a “semi-retired” attorney who moved from Wolf Point to Bozeman in 2013.

MONTANA SUMMER ROADTRIPS FROM
BOZEMAN BOZEMAN Sarah Cairoli
I
know we live in the most beautiful place on Earth, but let’s face it, sometimes you just have to get away. You don’t need a week to make an escape; there are several fun places to go that are less than a day’s drive from Bozeman.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK & COOKE CITY You have several options for entering Yellowstone, but I recommend taking advantage of the opportunity to get to Cooke City during the summer months because Gardiner and West Yellowstone are easier to access year-round. From Bozeman, head southeast to Red Lodge, where you can hop on the Beartooth Highway, possibly the most scenic 68 miles you will ever drive. The road will take you to an elevation of almost 11,000 feet before bringing you to Cooke City. In the summer, the town’s population triples (to a whopping 300 residents) so you can truly get away from it all here. This quaint town is full of Wild West charm and a beautiful place to start exploring the park. Distance from Bozeman to Cooke City via Red Lodge: 210 miles
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK Let’s not forget our state’s other National Park. You could spend the entire summer exploring Glacier country. Every visitor should drive the Going-to-theSun road. There are several horseback riding trails in the Many Glacier/Logan Pass area, so contact Swan Mountain Outfitters if you’d like get out of the car and see some backcountry. If you’d prefer to view the park by boat, tours are available on Saint Mary Lake. Independent spirits can also rent boats at several locations throughout the park. Glacier has something for everyone—hikers, bikers, kayakers, scenic cruisers, and explorers. No matter how you get there, I highly recommend a stop at Sunrift Gorge. Distance from Bozeman to Glacier National Park: 310 miles

VIRGINIA CITY & NEVADA CITY What was the Wild West really like? Look no further than Virginia City and Nevada City. Learn about the conflicts between the road agents and vigilantes as you step back in time and explore. There are several ways to tour the area, including horse-drawn wagons, a stagecoach, and train. Several old buildings are preserved for viewing. Ice cream parlors and an old-time candy shoppe are great places to stop for a snack, and the Brewery Follies are not to be missed. Nevada City is just a couple miles from Virginia City and is a replica of an old mining town. On the weekends, volunteers reenact life during the gold rush days. Distance from Bozeman to Virginia City: 66 miles
MISSOULA’S MUSIC SCENE Missoula has a live music scene like no other city in Montana. Check out the schedules at the Wilma Theater, Big Sky Brewing, and the Top Hat Lounge. They’ve got something for everyone; you can go to the symphony one night, see Luke Bryan the next night and still make it downtown to see any of the talented local bands that make Missoula night life so vibrant. Distance from Bozeman to Missoula: 202 miles
FORT PECK RESERVOIR If you are looking to put some distance on those tires and you like to catch fish, go to Fort Peck Reservoir in northeastern Montana. The lake, created by a 3.8-mile long dam on the Missouri River, is home to more than 50 species of fish. The immense size of this lake is difficult to describe, but to provide some perspective, the lake is surrounded by the Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge composed of more than one million acres of public land. Fort Peck Marina is the easiest place to access the water, but boat launches are also located at Hell Creek Bay and the south fork of Rock Creek Bay. Distance from Bozeman to Fort Peck: 386 miles
PARADISE VALLEY If you don’t have time to venture too far, you are just one mountain pass away from Paradise, valley that is. The Yellowstone River snakes through this picturesque valley full of camping, hiking, and fishing opportunities. Pine Creek Lodge rents cabins and campsites in addition to offering a series of live music shows in its beer garden. July has a full lineup including Bozeman favorite Pinky and the Floyd on July 20. If a tent is too rustic for you, Chico Hot Springs offers a variety of rooms and, of course, access to two hot springs pools.
THE SIP & DIP - GREAT FALLS Great Falls may not be the first place you think of when you get a hankering to visit a tiki bar, but the Sip ‘n Dip Lounge is the closest place to Bozeman that you’ll find that tiki vibe. A glass wall behind the bar gives patrons a direct view into the swimming pool. Every night (and every other Sunday for brunch), mermaids perform in the pool for the entertainment of those in the bar. The Sip ‘n Dip is so unique that GQ Magazine voted it the #1 bar on Earth, so great it is worth flying for. While in Great Falls, visit the waterfalls on the Missouri River and be sure to stop at Taco Treat for the sauce; Great Falls natives can’t seem to get enough of that stuff. Distance from Bozeman to Great Falls: 186 miles
HELENA’S ARCHIE BRAY FOUNDATION There are several reasons to visit our state’s capital, but the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts is a must-see. In 1951, Archie Bray created the foundation and converted his brickyard into a creative artists’ retreat that is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is still an active community of artists who offer classes and exhibitions all year. All exhibitions are free and open to the public. The ceramic collections are inspiring, and there is always something new on display. Art enthusiasts won’t want to miss the Bray’s Brickyard Bash and “Garden Party” on July 28. Distance from Bozeman to Helena: 97 miles
Distance from Bozeman to Pine Creek: 35 miles
THE MAGIC CITY - BILLINGS If you have young kids and are looking for a way to add some excitement to the summer, you should head to Billings. Kick off the day with a stop at Zoo Montana. Then, stop for lunch and some game time at Chuck E. Cheese’s. My kids’ favorite stop is Get Air Billings, a trampoline park that wears them out almost as much as swimming. If they still have any energy after bouncing, take the kids to The Reef Indoor Waterpark at Big Horn Resort. Waterpark admission is discounted if you spend the night at the hotel, and after all that activity, you might need to get some rest before making the drive home. Distance from Bozeman to Billings: 142 miles
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE That’s right—you can’t go wrong. Montana is a beautiful state. Grab a map, close your eyes, point to a spot and go there. On your way, you’re sure to find fishing holes, hiking trails, scenic vistas, and small town diners with tasty fare and friendly service. c Sarah Cairoli is ready to hit the road.

Market Report
Bozeman Real Estate Tim Ford – Real Estate Broker
M
ore homes have sold in Bozeman during the first 5 months of this year versus last; 386 homes in 2018 versus 347 in 2017. Inventory remains limited, so it often feels like there are fewer homes to buy, and the demand in Bozeman remains strong. As such, we’re continuing to see multiple offer situations. In these situations, buyers that aren’t able to pay cash often lament their inability to be competitive. As I’ve done in years past, I thought it prudent to compare the percentage of cash sales over the years. Looking at cash-only transactions: For sales of single family homes in all of Bozeman between January 1st and June 1st of 2016, 90 out of the 377 homes sold were purchased with cash. That is approximately 23.9% of all sales. This nudged down slightly last year to 74 out of 347 sales, or 21.3%. For 2018, 102 out of 386 sales, or 26.4% were cash purchases. This is the largest percentage I’ve seen since I’ve started tracking this number. Even though it edges slightly up and down over the years, the percentage of sales is generally fairly consistent. In 2015, 85 of the 371 sales during the first 5 months were cash, or 22.9%. In 2014, it was 70 of the 318 sales, or 22% and in 2013, 61 of the 276 sales, or 22.1% were cash purchases. The downtown area, which is attracting a lot of out-of-state buyers, has one of the higher percentages of cash-only transactions. Twenty two out of 71 single family homes purchased were
36 July 2018 BozemanMagazine.com
bought with cash, or 31%. Looking at downtown condos, 16 out of 33 sales, or 48% were cash purchases. Buyers who don’t have cash and end up in multiple-offer situations can still try to be competitive. At the end of the day, most people still prefer more money in their pocket, so there’s a good chance that a higher offer with financing could beat out a lower offer with cash, but not always. Buyers can also do their best to make their offer as attractive as possible by closely analyzing their contingencies and all the terms of their offer. While it can certainly be risky, I’ve seen sellers choose offers that were $20,000 less than another offer because the winning offer lacked an inspection contingency. As usual, I have included data for the number of single family homes sold during the first five months of 2018. In addition to the 386 single family homes sold during this time period, another 189 homes are currently pending, or under contract, as of the date of writing this article. The included data reflects sales of homes in the greater Bozeman area, including Four Corners, Gallatin Gateway, Bridger Canyon, and Bozeman city limits. The data includes home sales reported through the local Big Sky Country MLS, and does not include private party sales, Condominiums, or Townhouses. q Tim Ford is a Realtor® with Bozeman Broker Group in Bozeman Montana.

It is a car that certainly grabs the attention--the black and gold Trans Am, made famous by the Smokey and The Bandit films of the late 70s. It was the poster car for many a child of that era and holds fond memories for those of a certain age. You may have seen the car parked around Bozeman or driven by its proud owners, Tim and Dione Rogers. These downtown Bozeman residents try to put the buzz the car creates to good use, and this July they will be undertaking their second charity Trans Am Road Trip. This year they will be driving the special edition 1979 Trans Am from Bozeman to Albuquerque, New Mexico and back. They hope to raise money from t-shirt and hat sales, the profits from which will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association and the Bozeman SLAM Festival. Tim is an English import who grew up in the Suburbs of North London. Dione is originally from Montana and a graduate of the University of Southern California. They were married in Big Sky, Montana in February 2009. Dione is a marketing consultant. Tim is a real estate specialist and principal of Tim Rogers Montana, a multi-faceted consultancy business that focuses on Bozeman Real Estate, Cars and Lifestyle.
Tim and Dione have completed a major Charity Trans Am Road Trip once before, in 2015, in aid of the Alzheimer’s Association. This time they would love the support of the Bozeman community to raise even more money for that and for SLAM. Tim Rogers Montana is a sponsor of the festival and specifically of the Emerging Artists tent. It is not just a one-off commitment; much of Tim’s website TimRogersMT. com is devoted to promoting local independent businesses and artists. Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the annual global cost of dementia is $818 billion in U.S. dollars. The 8th annual Summer SLAM Festival will return to Bogert Park in Bozeman, August 4th & 5th, 2018. Artists from around the state of Montana in all mediums will be exhibiting their work, while performers grace the stage for 2 days of fabulous Montana entertainment. Visit transamroadtrip.com/ to purchase your TART (Trans Am Road Trip, get it?) hat and t-shirt and help Tim and Dione give back to the Bozeman community.
