Beautiful Burke Park and Beyond (8/3/2023)

Today, we did a little over five-mile hike in and around Burke Park, which is near the sculpture garden we had explored on our first night in Bozeman. Listed by the city as moderate exertion, trails in the park take you up Peet’s Hill, which is supposedly the best sunset view in town . After walking the main trail (there are many) through the long, narrow parkland, we connected to a few other trails towards the west of town.

At the end of Burke Park, we walked along a busy road
until we joined up with another trail. I liked the flowers in this yard.
