Charming airport
16 de maio de 2024, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
I love when the airport really captures the heart of a place. We walked off the plane into a lodge. The whole airport is just charming.
Bozeman Spirits

We will always find a distillery!
The bourbons were weak but the rye was ok. The charcuterie was needed while drinking whisky.
Really sweet bartender who came here from Vermont and loves it here.
Hittin the brewery scene

There wasn’t much to see of Bozeman as we waited for our Shan reservation so we hit a few breweries. You always meet great locals.

We first heard about this James Beard nominated Thai fusion place on The Dish on CBS Saturday morning.
The door did not disappoint. The service was lacking. A little cocking about “I’m sureLeia mais

I can’t remember where I heard about this place but it was on the way from Bozeman, so we popped in for a drink and a nibble. We each had a rye - Mama Tried and Sudden Wisdom Rye.
We also had an elkLeia mais

Gibbon Falls

Our first of many falls. Gibbon Falls. Beautiful and fairly easy access and fewer people.
Beryl Spring
17 de maio de 2024, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌬 52 °F
Little place on the side of the road with tons of geothermal activity. Hit bubbly water and steam and the smell we for used to over the day.
Painted Pots Hike

Moon landscape. Bubbling pools of mud like stuff. Just weird to watch. Reminded me of watching fermenting mash bill at a distillery.
Norris Geyser basin 1
17 de maio de 2024, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌬 54 °F
This was stunning. Like a moon landscape. One of the signs referred to “this raw and acidic landscape” and that description was so perfect. It is raw and harsh and eerily beautiful.
The wind wasLeia mais

The giant rock in the trees is called Glacier Rock because it took a long ride down aLeia mais
Mae West Curve
17 de maio de 2024, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌬 55 °F
These hairpin curves in the road are named for Mae West. Not for HER curves but because they are as dangerous as her! Lol
Saw these three deer laying down and hanging out. Beautiful view.
Tower Falls
17 de maio de 2024, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌬 61 °F

The Mammoth Hotsprings were less than impressive. Not what we were expecting at all.
That being said, the formations here on the lower terrace reminded us both of Carlsbad Caverns. I said it wasLeia mais
