A Field Guide to Not Being a Jerk in Bozeman (and Livingston) Montana

Thrillist Explorers

In this episode, host Wil Fulton heads to Montana, to experience sub-zero temperatures, icy roads, and two of America's most increasingly popular tourist destinations: Bozeman and Livingston. We hear about the long and storied history of Livingston's historic Murray Hotel and Wil takes a plunge at the nearby Chico Hot Springs. In Bozeman, we chat with Dr. Shane Doyle about the Native history of the area, some of the nearby outdoor adventures, and some current and upcoming exhibits at the Museum of the Rockies. Afterwards, he talks with the team behind Bozeman's Lark Hotel about some attractions in the area, and the owner and general manager of Plonk, a nearby wine bar and (frankly, amazing) restaurant. Finally, with some help of a local meme page, "Good Ol' Bozeman" (yes seriously), we connect with a local who helps us cover a topic we hit throughout the episode: with increasing tourism and new transplants driving up prices and disturbing the local way of life, how can we, as visitors, manage to avoid being jerks while visiting Montana?
