GVLT Community Events

Spring/Summer Discovery Walks

Discovery Walks are back! Are you looking for fun, educational outdoor activities that will help get you better acquainted with your Bozeman trails and neighbors? Discovery Walks are for you! These one-hour, guided walks will help you discover the 90+ miles of trail on the Main Street to the Mountains trail system. Each walk takes place at a different trail or park, and features a different theme.

The amenity trap

Join us for a solution-focused evening to learn what an Amenity Trap economy is and how other communities are approaching the growth-based challenges they create.
