MAY - 2018

M O N T A N A L I V I N G

Spring in Bozeman and Livingston

In early May, as temperatures warm, the ice melts off and the garage gets switched out. Skis are maintained and stored, and out come the clubs, bikes, canoes and kayaks, and all the footwear to accompany these activities. The mountain bikes stay dormant until later in May or even early June, as environmentally correct locals wait for the miles and miles of trails in the valley to properly dry out. Hiking is the best way to enjoy the trails and get the calves ready for mountain biking. The rivers are running high and the renewed sounds of rushing water provide roaring acoustics for hikers. By June, the days warm up and last longer, suddenly the hills and valley floor are verdant, and the contrast against the still-snowy mountain peaks is brilliant. Enjoy!
