It's actually rare to get a Montana autumn that lasts longer than a week or two. It's a shame fall isn't longer around here because we get some amazing colors that take zero effort to find.
Renters who are getting evicted because the owner has decided to sell, certainly don't have a lot of incentive to spit shine the joint for Instagram-able real estate pictures.
It's like a kid's game: What's Missing From These Bozeman Pictures? I took them 12 years ago during a helicopter ride around the Gallatin Valley. It's weird to peek at them now to discover what WASN'T there, back then.
Fall doesn't always last very long around here but whatever time Montana gets, it's usually stunning and packed with colors rarely seen in nature. The Bozeman area wasted no time...when the calendar said "Fall", the area responded.
