Are you like me and moved to Bozeman not too long ago? Today I decided that a road trip to Whitehall was in order.

Fifty-nine miles from Bozeman you will find this unique little town, with a population of less than 20,000 people. When I first pulled in I noticed how many vehicles had mountain bikes hanging from them...I think there is a trail I need to find!

As I was driving through downtown I was immediately in awe of the paintings on the historical buildings. Who was the artist that drew them? How long had they been there?

It's a WHALE! You will find it 11 miles from downtown Bozeman. What is its story? After reading an article in The Bridger Canyon Whale (bozemanmagazine.com) by Angie Ripple, I learned about the story of the whale... Salute is  on the way home and it will bring more snow. What have you heard about the whale? What do you know about it? Is it a family tradition in your vehicle?
