The Indians referred to Bozeman as 'The Valley of the Flowers,' but was later known for the Gallatin Valley in 1864 when John Bozeman led in the first gold rush. Today, Bozeman is a college and ranching town. It is also a major gateway to Yellowstone National Park. Bozeman lies 80 miles from the Mammoth entrance, and 90 miles from the west entrance.
The Museum of the Rockies
The Museum of the Rockies, sponsored by Montana State University, traces the history of the Rockies from the dinosaurs to the age of the automobile.

Updates on current digs are also available. Other exhibits in the Museum of the Rockies include those on Native Americans and the geology of Montana.
