If you want to experience West Yellowstone, you can continue on Highway 191 and grab some lunch in this fun Yellowstone Gateway town. South of Big Sky you will pass through the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park before heading down to Hebgen Lake. If you have a little extra time, the drive up to Big Sky is worth it with even more scenic views of Lone Peak on the way from the canyon to the mountain village.
You will also pass Lone Peak and Big Sky Resort. Gallatin Canyon is a popular recreation spot with lots of hiking, camping, and access to the river. Along the way, you may see kayakers, whitewater rafters, fly fishermen, and if you know where to look, rock climbers clinging to the cliffs. Many of the fishing scenes in the film "A River Runs Through It" were filmed on the Gallatin River, so the scenery is top-notch. One of the prettiest drives anywhere in the country, Gallatin Canyon is a narrow canyon that follows the Gallatin River south toward Yellowstone National Park. You'll see big mountain views, two lakes, two beautiful rivers, and maybe even some wildlife. It is roughly 200 miles in its entirety, taking you south on Highway 191, north on Highway 287 and then back to Bozeman on MT-84 (Norris Road). This route will take about 3.5 - 4.5 hours depending on how much you stop and how fast you drive. Here is what you can expect one of the best Bozeman scenic drives.
One of our favorite drives is down through Gallatin Canyon, around the southern Madison Range by Quake Lake and back up the Madison Valley. When you arrive in Bozeman, you'll be immediately smitten by the views of the mountains all around, but it may leave you wondering – what else is there to see? If you have a day to kill and want to get out and explore, a scenic drive is a great way to see more of Montana's incredible vistas.
