Charming airport
May 16, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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
May 16, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
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 sureRead more

May 16, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
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 elkRead more

Gibbon Falls
May 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 52 °F
Our first of many falls. Gibbon Falls. Beautiful and fairly easy access and fewer people.
Beryl Spring
May 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 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

This little off road trip was eerie and cool. Several thermal pools and then mud pots that were other-worldly.
Mud pots

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
May 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 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 wasRead more

Mae West Curve
May 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 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
May 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 61 °F
Unique formations above the falls are the reason this is called Tower Falls. We caught them from the road up behind too.

Mammoth Hot Springs Lower Terrace
May 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 59 °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 wasRead more
