AREA HISTORY A buffalo trail led indigenous people from the east into Kelly Canyon into the traditional hunting grounds called the Valley of the Flowers, now the Gallatin Valley. In 1806, Captain William Clark of the Lewis & Clark Expedition camped at the mouth of Kelly Canyon on their eastward return journey following the same buffalo trail. The Bozeman Trail followed a similar route from Kelly Canyon into the Gallatin Valley. This descent provided weary travelers with their first signs of a community since leaving eastern settlements.

A “Dual Agent” is obligated to a Seller in the same manner as a seller agent and is obligated to a Buyer in the same manner as a buyer agent, except
