Best of Bozeman Bike Tour

Experience Bozeman like a local on a relaxed ride through town

Discover the best of Bozeman the fun, easy way with a local guide by your side. On this casual, small-group bike tour, you’ll ride quiet streets and city trails, take frequent pauses for photos, hear the stories behind the stops, and get a feel for Bozeman’s neighborhoods, outdoor lifestyle, and everyday life.

Having met your guide in downtown Bozeman and been fitted with your bike, you’ll cycle into tree-lined historic neighborhoods. Riding these quiet residential streets offers you an immediate look beyond Main Street and a sense of how the town has grown and changed over time.

From there, you’ll ride to the Montana State University campus. MSU began as a small agricultural college and has grown alongside Bozeman into a major university that plays an enormous role in the community today.

Your bike ride then continues through Bozeman’s south-side neighborhoods and past Story Mansion – one of the city’s best-known historic homes. Here, older homes, towering trees, parks, and quiet streets offer another glimpse into Bozeman’s origins and why these neighborhoods remain such an important part of the city today.

Next, you’ll cycle sections of town where the city trail system connects with the Bozeman Creek corridor. These trails and green spaces aren’t just recreational attractions – they’re part of how Bozeman locals walk, bike, commute, and enjoy the outdoors every day.

One of your ride’s highlights is Peet’s Hill, a favorite local open space overlooking town. From here, you’ll take in spectacular views of the Bridger Mountains, Spanish Peaks, and Gallatin Valley, snap some photos, and enjoy a brief ride through Sunset Hills Cemetery and local parks.

From there, you’ll bike toward Bozeman’s North Side. Once an industrial part of town, the North Side is now home to a lively mix of old buildings, breweries, bakeries, art spaces, local businesses, and new developments. It’s a great place to witness old and new Bozeman standing side by side.

Throughout your bike tour, there’s plenty of time to stop, ask questions, take photos, and get local recommendations for making the most of your stay. By the time you return downtown, you’ll have explored far more than you could on foot and gained a true feel for the real Bozeman.
