Family Hike to History Rock near Bozeman, MT - 12/17/10 03:28 PM

  
 I had the opportunity this past weekend to take a morning and enjoy it with my family, which is something we do not get to do as often as I would like.  My wife and I currently have two children, our son is almost 4, our daughter is 18 months, and we are expecting #3 in December.  We are not crazy but, if the family continues to expand at this rate, we may be soon.  Spare time is at a premium and enjoying it all together is rarer still. So when the opportunity arose for a family hike we were … (0 comments)

Fairy Lake Outing near Bozeman, MT - 12/17/10 03:26 PM


Southwestern Montana is dotted with a plethora of clear mountain stream and crystal lakes, and many of them are located a short distance the recreation centers ofBozeman and Big Sky.  The trouble lies not in the decision to visit these natural wonders but in which one to choose as the days destination.  A couple weeks back, my wife and I loaded up kids, car seats, stroller and camera and headed to Fairy Lake which is located in a mountain cirque in the Bridger Range north of Bozeman.  After exiting the asphalt we followed the Forest Service road approximately 7 miles to the campground, trailhead … (0 comments)

You Dive Where? - 12/17/10 03:23 PM


  Hyalite Reservoir south of Bozeman, MT
 
When tales of Montana are traded on front porches, commercial airplanes and executive offices across the United States, they usually include a repertoire of epic skiing, trophy trout rising to dry flies, horseback riding in the back-country, hikes, mountain biking trails, even hunting big game.  I would venture that seldom are the terms “scuba diving” and “Montana” used in the same sentence.  There are, however, a group of hardy enthusiasts whose pursuit of new outdoor experiences leads them into the depths of Montana’s lakes and rivers.  I happen to be one of those tortured souls who use … (0 comments)

Montana State University
The Bozeman area is ready to put its money where its mouth is and support a local tax hike if that's what it would take to create a two-year community college here, community leaders said Monday.

Montana River Properties - 12/16/10 06:34 PM


Madison River near Cameron, MT
A common thread among my friends who are looking for property in this area of Montana revolves around the dream of having a property where they can walk out their back door and hear the calming rush of water. From small, private creeks to the power and recreational opportunities of rivers like the Madison and Yellowstone, the presence of water has always been a large driving factor in the decision to purchase investment or recreational properties. In our little corner of the globe, we have been overwhelmingly endowed with access to phenomenal water courses. The fishing on the … (0 comments)

"Hawkwood" - 471 W. Boulder Road, Livingston, MT
It is truly a rare instance when an authentic frontier Montana landmark is combined with a discerning eye and an artist’s touch to create a home of uncompromising beauty and charm.  These qualities are brought together and gently nestled in southwestern Montana’s West Boulder River valley at a former map dot known as “Hawkwood”.  The cornerstone of this true Montana treasure, that has garnered editorial acclaim, is the record contained within the walls of the home and the discriminating touches used to elevate this historic artifact to a modern masterpiece.
