Bozeman

Yellowstone's northern gateway

Bozeman is a city in southwestern Montana, home to Montana State University and a gateway to Yellowstone National Park.

The name comes from John Bozeman, who established a trail through the region in the 1860s.

The city has grown rapidly as a destination for outdoor recreation, tech workers, and those seeking mountain-town living: Bozeman real estate has gotten insane.
