Emigrant, MT.
This is a new lodge that has amazing views and a great happy hour or casual dinner at the Fireside Room-my preference. You can also have a nice dinner at the second building called The Grill, which has a more formal menu and seating. All wines are domestic.

Sightseeing
Take the back way to Bozeman instead of the interstate. It’s amazingly beautiful coming from Bozeman to Strickland Creek Road. All roads are gravel and can be adventurously dusty. There are also trailheads off the main road for hiking or biking. Enjoy!
