Peets Hill/Burke Park — Attraction in Bozeman

If you love to walk and talk like I do, (especially with your grown up kids), then this is the perfect spot for you while you're in Bozeman. The open space area is just a short walk from Main St, so you can access the trailhead easily from there. Grab a cup of Joe to fuel up and off ya go!

There are lots of locals here walking their dogs off-leash, which is cool, so you know you're on to something good. Nothing better than watching dogs run free with each other.

Wait...yes there is, walking & talking with your grown up son!

*disclaimer (beware of the sprinting dogs off-leash that are so darn excited, they just may run right thru you and take you out!) We had a couple of close calls for sure 😳

Oh, there's several nice benches to rest your weary knees, and hydrate, so...

No excuses, get yourself, (and your kid) out here for some fresh air, and conversation.

Fantastic views as you walk, ride, ski, or run...this is a wonderful way to begin or end your days here while in town!

Btw, if you keep your head up while ya walk,

You see some things...nice...

A long time part of Bozeman. A place to go with friends, a place a be alone. A place to cry, be happy, mourn, contemplate, meditate, run, bike, or do nothing and just take it all in. We can't imagine a Bozeman without it. After the bars closed we went sledding, we tripped, held hands, and again nothing at all. The neighboring cemetery reminds us of our mortality, just another passing generation in a blink of time. So many before us came to this refuge, countless after us. It's a part of coming together for events like Sweet Pea, or hang and watch fireworks on the 4th, cross country ski in the winter or maybe a quick lap on your bike. If only we could give it...

Jaw drop this place is stunning in fall! Honestly, I had low expectations since this was just a short hill on the side of the town. But gosh, sunsets really are stunning here. A panorama of mountains, the city in the middle with the leaves of trees everywhere being lit with the light of the setting sun. This is on the Main Street to the Mountains trail. It seems to be a very popular trail. Lots of families walking with their kids and dogs. People are generally very friendly. It can get a little windy. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Bozeman (my pictures do not do this...
