Enjoyed a couple of days of relaxation in the Livingston / Bozeman area of Montana. We did some hiking in the back country, and we made sure to carry bear spray. Grizzly bears are huge (500-900 lbs) and fast. They can run up to 35 mph. The weather in Big Sky Country is fickle. It can be sunny one minute; then a dark cloud comes out of nowhere and bursts. The temp can drop 20 degrees in 15 minutes. The photos taken from our cabin show a wide variation in weather over a short period of time..
