Bozeman

Gateway to Yosemite - Bozeman, historically, is a gateway. Bozeman is located in a very fertile valley surrounded by mountains and mountain passes through which humans have journeyed since before recorded history. This is a major access point to the western entrance (via US-191) of Yosemite National Park (just to the south in Wyoming). A few miles east (via US-89) is access to the northern entrance to the Yosemite National Park.

Museum of the Rockies - Bozeman is a university town. Site of the largest campus in the state university system, its Montana State University campus also invites non-students and, yes, non-residents, to utilize many of its many resources.
  The Museum of the Rockies at MSU has an excellent display of dinosaur bones. What seemed to intrigue our young companions much more was the huge display of Native American things including some in depth displays showing how they lived, their social life and tribal interrelationships.

  The Museum also has an excellent - and very modern - planetarium. They have added computerized graphics to the conventional projector and all of us thoroughly enjoyed it.
  The Museum is located opposite the stadium at South 7th Avenue and East Kagy Boulevard in the south end of Bozemen.
  From I-90 take exit 306 and drive south on 7th Avenue. When you get to Main Street, turn right (7th is not a through street south of here). Follow Main westbound to 11th Avenue, turn left and follow 11th to its end at Kagy Boulevard. Turn left and follow Kagy back to 7th Avenue and the museum. (You'll see the stadium before you see the Museum.)
  Note: if you are on your way to Yellowstone National Park, just turn around and go back out Kagy to 11th Avenue. Turn right on 11th and follow it to W. College Street. Turn left and drive westbound on College to US-191 (which takes you to Yellowstone National Park.

Helena

   Helena is a major tourist center and for excellent reasons. One would expect Helena to have a good variety of outdoor attractions and activities and they would certainly not be disappointed. But Helena, itself, also has its attractions. The central focal point is, for many, the Saint Helena Cathedral. Then, not to be eclipsed, is the Montana State Capitol building. Across the street from the State Capitol building is the Montana Historical Society Museum. Exhibits range form the expected natural science to original painting by Montana's most famous artist, C. M. Russell.
   We associate the gold rush era with casinos. Well, Helena still has casinos and many establishments include video slot machines as part and parcel of their furnishings.
   Helena is located in the Missouri River valley - surrounded by mountains. Out-of-doors enthusiasts love this spot where activities range from hunting and fishing to bird watching.
