Day 1:
Get settled in Bozeman

Take in views of the majestic mountains as you touch down in Bozeman (but we promise the views don’t end here). Check in to one of the many hotels in downtown Bozeman; from downtown, most activities are a short walk or car ride away.

Options include the Kimpton Armory Hotel, with its rooftop bar and soaking pool, the AC Marriott Hotel, Element Bozeman (also by Marriott), or the boutique hotel LARK.

Unpack your bags, order a glass of champagne, and relax – it’s bachelorette party time! Spend your evening in one of the chic hotel bars, like the Sky Shed. For something lively, check out live music or country swing dancing at Bourbon, or play a round of bowling at Ponderosa Social Club.

Day 2:
Downtown fun in the heart of Bozeman

No bachelorette weekend would be complete without a little shopping, so grab a coffee at one of Bozeman’s local coffee roasters and prepare for a great day. In the downtown Bozeman area, you’ll find exceptional goods, unique souvenirs, chic boutiques, and excellent bookstores. You’ll find trendy party favors and gifts at Heyday, or luxury clothing with a western feel at Meridian.

That evening, after you drop off your haul and change into that new outfit you just bought, head out for a night on the down. Start off easy by visiting one of Bozeman’s breweries for a cold brew and some good conversation.

Enjoy a decadent dinner of local Montana ingredients at Open Range or J.W. Heist Steakhouse. Next, visit Plonk for one of the city’s best cocktails, or the Rocking R Bar for a rowdier vibe. The energy is high on weekend nights in Bozeman, so check out our events page for concerts, comedy shows, or other happenings while you’re in town.

Day 3:
Explore the outdoors then rest and recharge

Start your day with a morning hike that will get everyone breathing in the pristine mountain air. Check out the College M or Drinking Horse for a short, accessible hike, or the super easy Palisade Falls trail up at Hyalite Recreation Area.

Depending on the time of year you visit, there are a dozen other magical outdoor activities you might try, from horseback riding to fly fishing, rafting, cross-country skiing, or even dog sledding. You’ll be glad you got out of your comfort zone to explore the great outdoors that make Bozeman such an exceptional place to be.

After that, you’ll be ready for some downtime. Schedule a massage for the bride at Restful Touch Wellness, or venture out to a nearby hot spring. Bozeman Hot Springs has 12 different pools and a fitness center; Chico Hot Springs, about an hour away in Paradise Valley, offers local beer and cocktails while you soak.

Day 4:
Brunch before you go

After a memorable trip, gather the group one last time for brunch before parting ways. Enjoy a classic Montana brunch at the iconic Western Cafe (one of Bozeman’s oldest establishments), or try lighter fare at The Farmer’s Daughters Cafe. Let the coffee and mimosas flow, and reflect on your dream Montana bachelorette party.
