Welcome dinner

Montana Ale Works · 611 E Main St, Bozeman, MT 59715

Bozeman's landmark restaurant in the 1920s Northern Pacific freight depot at the east end of Main: brick, timber, pool tables, 40 taps heavy on Montana beer, and a scratch kitchen built on local ranches. Loud, warm, and exactly what a first night in Bozeman should feel like.

Summit All Terrain Rentals · 42895 Gallatin Rd, Big Sky, MT 59730

Self-guided Polaris RZRs with Ride Command GPS, launched from the Corral Bar lot in Gallatin Canyon. Helmets, goggles, fuel and a pre-loaded route are supplied; you drive forest roads and ridge two-tracks at your own pace, stopping wherever the view demands.

Norris Hot Springs

"Water of the Gods": a 40-by-40-foot pool of fir planks laid over an artesian spring, drained and refilled every night with no chemicals. Soak while the sun drops behind the Tobacco Roots, order from the 50 Mile Grill, grab a beer from the No Loose Dogs Saloon, and if we're lucky a band plays from the geodesic dome.

Attendance TBD

Star M Barn · 4186 Stimson Ln, Belgrade, MT 59714
