ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
It is important that you plan to arrive in Bozeman, Montana no later than 1:30 PM on July 14, 2012, for our group transfer to Big Sky’s 320 Guest Ranch in our 14 passenger van.

Please work with Ciretta Green at Montana Travel. She can arrange your air to Bozeman, a hotel if you would like to come in a few days early or stay later.

The nights of July 14 - 18, we are staying at 320 Guest Ranch (800-243-0320) in beautiful Big Sky, Montana.

The last night of your adventure, July 19, we are staying at the Comfort Inn in Bozeman (1370 North 7th Avenue, Bozeman, Montana 59715, 406-587-2322 or 800-587-3833). You are free to make your departure for any time of the day on July 20.

You might consider arriving a day or two early, or stay after the trip, to explore the town of Bozeman and its scenic surrounding area. The movies A River Runs Through It and The Horse Whisperer were filmed in the area! Coming a day early will also allow you to acclimate to an altitude of approximately 5,000 feet. Bozeman is only 90 miles north of Yellowstone National Park. The upbeat atmosphere is that of “a small town in big britches.” While images of cowboys, pioneer women and rowdy miners are still reflected by the locals' faces, the city's historic downtown has everything from gourmet restaurants to art galleries! The famous Museum of the Rockies, located on the Montana State University campus, is the permanent home to one of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons on exhibit anywhere in the world.

If you decide to arrive a day or two early, or stay later after the trip, you can make reservations on your own by calling the Comfort Inn at 800-587-3833. They provide free shuttle service to and from the airport. Tell them that you are staying there on July 19 with the AdventureWomen group, and they should give you a good rate).

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS AND HEALTH INSURANCE
You must have your own health insurance, and not have any physical problems or conditions that would be adversely affected by hiking and residing at altitudes of 6,000 - 9,000 feet.
