Trails & Parks
The 'M' - Not just a local favorite, but our favorite! To the top of the 'M' is a gain of about 800 vertical feet, there are a few options to the top (hard, medium, easy) which makes this a great hiking option for all ability levels. This trail is dog-friendly (on-leash or off-leash). https://outsidebozeman.com/trails-tours/hiking-trails/m-trail
If you are feeling more adventurous, you can hike to the top of the Ridge Lookout (about 1700 vertical) or all the way to Mount Baldy (about 8 miles round trip and 4300 vertical) - https://outsidebozeman.com/trails-tours/hiking-trails/m-mt-baldy-trail

Storm Castle is a great hike up the canyon on your way up to Big Sky. It's about 4.5 miles roundtrip and 2300 feet of vertical gain. Super dog friendly, and this hike will not be as crowded. There are bears here, so be sure to bring bear spray. https://outsidebozeman.com/trails-tours/hiking-trails/storm-castle-peak-trail

Similar to the 'M' (and right across the street) but there is a creek at the bottom which is nice for dogs on a hot day. https://outsidebozeman.com/trails-tours/hiking-trails/drinking-horse-mountain-trail

Great place to swim, fish, paddleboard. Picnic tables and grills available and dog friendly. Good hiking options from the Reservoir as well. We love to go up for the evening and grill or bring carryout from town. Be sure to bring extra layers as it can get chilly up there in the evening.

Food scene
Bacchus Pub
105 W Main StRight downtown with a patio and must-eat curry fries!
One of our favorite places for baked goods (cinnamon rolls and caramel rolls are great) and coffee. It's a bit pricey and note they are not open on Sundays. They also have really cool pottery for sale if you are looking for a souvenir.

Mountains Walking Brewery
422 Plum AveGood food and a cool new(er) brewery in town.
Really fun vibe, and you can sit outside in the open-market style shopping center. Nordic has great beer, but also serves wine and cocktails for the non-beer drinkers. Pizzas (and all food) are really good. This is one of our favorites and is really close to the house.

Hot Springs
Chico Hot Springs is quintessential Montana at it's best! Beautiful drive through Paradise Valley to get there. Bar and Diner are good for family-eating. The restaurant is delicious and a bit more fancy (reservation suggest for the restaurant).
