Bozeman was nominated for another one of those “best towns” awards by Outside Magazine, a publication that, along with Powder Magazine, just seems to love the place.
It’s funny to be grouped with big cities with over a million people, though all three of the other towns in the bottom section are even smaller than Bozeman’s population of 38,000. The local paper had this story on the subject – I guess we’ll find out in September how we did. With the population disparity so big (e.g., Waitsfield, VT has only 1,719 residents vs. San Diego with 1.3 million), I don’t see how any of the smaller towns could win.
