Fun in the Sun

New this Year - Enjoy a Day on Your Own Exploring Big Sky Country

Your trip to National Student Solar Spectrograph Competition would not be complete without a day to play in the sun of the Big Sky country. Some ideas for you to consider are listed below.

A visit to Yellowstone National Park is only 90 miles away by rental car.

We have partnered with Montana Whitewater to offer some unique Montana experiences on, above and around the Gallatin River in the beautiful Gallatin Canyon a short 20 minute rental car drive from Bozeman.

Parts of the Gallatin River were used in the filming of “A River Runs Through It”

You can choose the level of adventure that your team wants to participate in or you can sign up individually for an activity and make new friends along the way.

Activities include whitewater rafting, ziplining, fly fishing, and hiking. More details will be provided as we gauge the interest for each activity.

Contact Montana Whitewater directly to setup your day of adventure.
