Charron ing, camping, skiing, and numerous other outdoor recreational opportunities are available to the student and visitor as well. Both of the nation’s more popular national parks — Glacier and Yellowstone — are also located only a few hours drive from the campus. The state also has a variety of parks, national forests and wilderness areas for those interested in something more than urban life. For those with more intellectual pursuits in mind, the area offers museums, national historic sites and community theatres across the state. One of the more prestigious, and internationally known museums is located next to the campus. The Museum of the Rockies offers a chronological history of the northwest region of the United States from the age of dinosaurs to the future of the stars. It is one museum that draws the visitor back time and time again with its constantly changing displays and exhibits. Other important museums include the Charlie Russell museum in Great Falls, the State Historical Museum in Helena and other museums in Bozeman, Billings, Butte, Dillon and smaller museums in many local communities. Art galleries are also found widespread in the area, from Great Falls to Ennis...and all within easy reach of the student. This is only a brief guide to the area, and doesn’t cover many of the interesting and exciting offerings available to the student on a day-to day basis. For more information, students can consult brochures distributed by the university, local chambers of commerce, the state tourist bureau and other private sources. There is just too much to ignore. Montana is a warm state — emotionally — that draws non resident students from around the world. Many of them later return to make their permanent homes here. We extend a hearty welcome and invite you to take advantage of all we have to offer. The Big Sky-Treasure State can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Make yourself at home and enjoy your days with us. 10

MONTANA It should be rather obvious that this isn’t a detailed, or even a complete map of the state of Montana. What we wanted to do was give the students some idea of the places they can visit on a normal — or extended — weekend. Every one of the areas shown on the map offers museums, galleries, recreational activities and many other enticements too numerous to mention...and all of them are within an eight hour drive of Bozeman. Take advantage of all the natural and man made resources offered...see Montana first hand while you’re here. 9
