1. DRIVE TO HYALITE CANYON TO SEE THE FALL FOLIAGE
First on the list, take a stroll on a brisk, fall morning in Hyalite Canyon. Hyalite Canyon is part of the Custer Gallatin National Forest and a great spot to hike, explore nature, and even get a glimpse of the fall foliage.
Discover an amazing view of Bozeman on this 1.2-mile out-and-back trail near Missoula, Montana. It is classified as a moderate hike, and it takes an average of one hour to complete. The trail is dog friendly, so bring your pups along for the trek.
3. ATTEND A MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL GAME
This is a must do! The whole town comes alive on game day, but there’s nothing like immersing yourself in the sprit by scoring a seat in the stadium. Nothing screams fall like watching football. Check out their upcoming schedule by clicking here. Go Bobcats!
Next, head on over to Rocky Creek Farm to explore the petting zoo, snag your pumpkin out of the patch, hop on a wagon ride, and other all things that are quintessentially fall. If you’re an apple cider fan, you definitely don’t want to miss this stop!
5. GRAB A PUMPKIN SPICE SOMETHING AND STROLL DOWNTOWN TO SHOP
This list wouldn’t be complete without the mention of scooping up a delicious pumpkin spice baked good from Aurore Bakery! As we all know, pumpkin spice is the unofficial mascot of fall.
