Hyalite News

Have you ever noticed the old, falling down, barbed wire fences in Moser and Lick Creek? The barbed wire, which is left over from a retired grazing allotment, is an eyesore and a danger to dogs and wildlife. With your help, we hope to remove it all by the end of the summer!

Join Friends of Hyalite this Saturday, May 11 for our annual Spring Cleanup Day!

With Hyalite Canyon located just outside Bozeman, we have a treasure in our very own backyard. Visitors come from around the world for the world class ice climbing and views.

“I Plow Hyalte” - maybe you've seen the sticker around town. Or perhaps you proudly display it on your favorite mug or the back of your Hyalite adventure-mobile. How exactly, do you plow Hyalite?

The smell of gunpowder filled the air. My shot dropped the four-by-four mule deer instantly. Fifteen seconds earlier my little brother shot his first deer. When we saw another one poke it’s head out of the trees he calmly racked another round and passed the gun to me.

Mark your calendar - Sunday, October 21 is the annual Friends of Hyalite fall clean up day in Hyalite Canyon. The biannual clean up days bring together volunteers from across the Gallatin Valley who love Hyalite and want to help take care of the place so many of us love to recreate.

Teamwork gets results! This past week I had the privilege of working with the Forest Service and student volunteers from Bozeman High School and Montana State University to improve the day use sites at Chisolm Bay and the main Hyalite Reservoir day use site

As a follow-up to our popular Winter Recreation Map, Friends of Hyalite is excited to announce that we have published a Summer Recreation Map.
