City Walking Video for Treadmill Virtual Vacations
Bozeman has gotten pretty famous over the last decade as it’s been included in way too many “Best of” lists for its own good. Still, people love it in spite of its massive growth. I hope you enjoy it too.
Museum, MSU, and South Side – Bozeman Montana Virtual Walk
Hello Walkers,
Today we’re taking a summertime stroll through Bozeman, Montana, on a hazy August day. Smoke from wildfires across the West has cast a surreal, almost otherworldly light over the valley—something we’ve been dealing with much of the summer. Fortunately, this walk is more about taking in the sights than breaking a sweat.
We begin where our last Bozeman walk left off—at the Museum of the Rockies. Right out front, we’re greeted by Big Mike, the towering metal T. rex that’s become a bit of a local landmark. Just next door is the museum’s 1890s living history farm, one of my favorite summer features. With costumed interpreters and heritage buildings, it gives a wonderful glimpse into life on the Montana frontier. If you ever visit in person, it’s a must-see—especially for kids.
Next, we wander through the quiet summer campus of Montana State University. While a few classes are still in session, the slower pace gives us a great opportunity to admire some of the newer buildings and architectural upgrades that have popped up in recent years.
From there, it’s off to the tree-lined streets of Bozeman’s South Side, where we pass by the stately Story Mansion—one of the city’s most iconic historic homes. We wrap up our journey with a stroll through Burke Park near Peets Hill, where you’ll get sweeping views of downtown Bozeman and the surrounding landscape.
Thanks for joining me on another laid-back Montana walk. I hope you enjoy the scenery, whether you’re on the treadmill or just along for the ride.
Keep on Steppin’

MOR
Museum of the Rockies is a museum in Bozeman, Montana. The museum is known for its paleontological collections, although these are not its sole focus. The Museum of the Rockies houses the largest collection of dinosaur remains in the United States, possessing the largest Tyrannosaurus skull ever discovered, as well as the thigh bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex that contains soft-tissue remains.
The museum is part of the Montana Dinosaur Trail and is Montana’s official repository for paleontological specimens. The museum’s collections focus on the physical and cultural history of the Rocky Mountains and the people and animals who have lived there, and date back more than 500 million years. Permanent exhibits include: “Enduring Peoples”, which chronicles the life of Native Americans on the Northern Plains and near the Rocky Mountains; “History of the Northern Rocky Mountain Region”, whose inhabitants included Native Americans, fur traders, gold seekers, and settlers from frontier days through World War II; the Living History Farm, which includes the Tinsley House, where costumed interpreters demonstrate life in a turn-of-the-century home; and the Taylor Planetarium, a 40 ft (12 m), 104-seat domed theater.
Story Mansion
Nelson Story Sr. (April 4, 1838 – March 10, 1926) was a pioneer Montana entrepreneur, cattle rancher, miner and vigilante, who was a notable resident of Bozeman, Montana. He was best known for his 1866 cattle drive from Texas with approximately 1000 head of Texas Longhorns[2] to Montana along the Bozeman Trail—the first major cattle drive from Texas into Montana. His business ventures in Bozeman were so successful that he became the town’s first millionaire. In 1893, he played a prominent role in the establishment of the Agricultural College of the State of Montana by donating land and facilities. He built the first Story Mansion on Main Street in Bozeman in 1880 and later built today’s Story Mansion at the corner of Willson and College for his son, T. Byron Story in 1910. In his later years, he became a prominent real estate developer in Los Angeles, California.
