Convenient to town and close to the slopes, not only is fantastic powder down-hill skiing only minutes away at Bridger Bowl, but you can cross-country ski in and out of our home to BoHart Cross-Country Ski Ranch across the road. When the snow melts, nearby National Forest offers endless wildflower fields, hiking trails, wildlife and mountain activities in every season. Just a short scenic drive down Bridger Canyon is the western town of Bozeman, Montana, with great shopping, restaurants and entertainment including the Museum of the Rockies featuring a world-renowned dinosaur bone collection.
