Big Sky resort in Montana - photo ops?

[jeff_swayze]

I'll be tagging along with my wife as she attends a conference at the

Big Sky resort (near Bozeman) in Montana during the second week of

August. I'll have the mornings to myself, and I'd like to take

advantage of the time to get out and shoot pictures. Can anyone

recomend any good photo spots near the area (within an hour drive or

so)? I'm interested primarily in wildlife and landscapes.

 

Thanks,

Jeff Swayze

yellowstone is within a 2 hour drive from bozeman. i know this is further than you are looking for, but the wildlife opportunities are tremendous. good luck! larry

The Paradise Valley between Livingston and Gardenier(sp) is spectacular. Drive the "old" road which is across the river from the new road.

 

Also the headwaters of the Missouri is a great place to visit. 3 rivers come together there, important place on the Lewis and Clark expedition.

 

Have fun!!!
