Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Bozeman is truly a remarkable community. The Bozeman area at large encompasses over 50,000 people with backgrounds and cultures as diverse as the Montana landscape. From cattle ranchers to high tech engineers, the area is home to a breed of people who have come to appreciate an unmatched quality of life. While retaining a small town feel, we pride ourselves on offering community activities and programs typically available only in larger, metropolitan areas. Combine the wide array of resources with an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities and it's easy to understand why we rank as one of the nation's most liveable cities.

Bozeman and the surrounding areas offer endless opportunities for fishing, hiking, camping, and biking being located next to millions of acres of national forests. Within minutes of downtown Bozeman is located the Bridger Bowl ski area. Bozeman is also home to Montana State University. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching recognizes MSU as one of 94 research universities with "very high research activity." Other such institutions are Yale University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Washington and Oregon State University. Situated next door to the University is the famous Museum of the Rockies. This first-class museum explains the history, geology, wildlife, and people of the Rocky Mountains. The centerpiece of the museum is the fabulous dinosaur exhibit, which includes a life-size cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex skull, and the even larger Gigantosaurus carolinii. Only 80 miles away is Yellowstone National Park. America's first and foremost National Park, drawing over three million visitors yearly. Established in 1872 by the United States Congress "for the preservation of" its many wonders and "for the enjoyment of the people," and now encompassing 2.2 million acres, Yellowstone in 2006 celebrated its 134th anniversary
