A quick park and grab off I-90 from Exit 350.
Be aware that wild reptiles have been observed in warm weather.
John Bozeman is noted first for the 1863 establishing of the Bozeman Cutoff (or Bozeman Trail) as a shorter freight route through Wyoming to the Montana gold fields. He laid out the town of Bozeman in 1864.
In April 1867 he was traveling eastward through this area with partner Tom Cover to Ft. Phil Kearny. In camp 2+ miles upriver from here they were reportedly attacked by five Blackfeet when Bozeman was killed.
Inconsistencies in the story and evidence at the site lead some historians to suspect Cover of the death. Bozeman, 32 years old at the time, was buried there for two years, then moved to the Bozeman cemetery.
Though Bozeman perished before reaching this point, the Yellowstone has long remained as a conduit of travel through the area.
Please remove and replace the cache with gentle care to insure cache quality for the next finder. Also, grab an item of trash to keep the area beautiful!
