LIFESTYLE

Bridger Canyon

Bridger Canyon is a protected area on the northeast edge of Bozeman, Montana. The Bridger Canyon area comprises approximately 44,800 acres(70 square miles). The Bridger Canyon Rural Zoning District was established in 1971 to protect the natural beauty and agricultural open space character of the area. One of the zoning restrictions enacted was that population density in Bridger Canyon was capped at one home for every 40 acres. Throughout the years, and the challenges, the Bridger Canyon zoning district continues to preserve the exquisite beauty and value of Bridger Canyon. Learn more about Bridger Canyon Zoning.

Wildlife

Bridger Canyon is a critical component of wildlife conservation in southwest Montana. As populations of large animals have been dramatically reduced in many areas of Montana and the West, Bridger Canyon remains a refuge for numerous species.

The lack of pressure from humans, combined with the protected Forest Service areas created habitat that is appealing to a large number of species. Bridger Canyon is home to most Rocky Mountain species of ungulates and carnivores, as well as numerous species of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians.

2803 Bridger Hills is located on 16 acres that is adjacent to 58 acres of open space. The property provides excellent wildlife viewing opportunities with regular sightings of elk and mule deer. Learn more about Bridger Canyon Wildlife.
