    This is the second time I've watched this video after watching it when you first put it up. I enjoy it so much. A nice blend of hiking and visiting some historical cities. Helena looks so charming do not blame Cassie for loving it. When we were younger my husband and I would see places like Helena and put it on a list of possible places to move to later and so enjoyed talking about the whys and what ifs of each place. You are very good at keeping your content so beautiful and interesting. Always happy to 'tag' along with you and also Cassie when she is able to share that time with you. Take care!

    I'm really enjoying these little trips you guys are taking us on! But you know what? It bears saying that you two are a beautiful couple. Cassie is gorgeous and reminds me of those ancient paintings we see of Egyptian queens....she is simply beautiful - more beautiful than the depictions of Nefertiti - because Cassie has such heart in her eyes...and you do too!!

    You're so good at finding the best places less traveled such as that hill with a view of Helena, even the expensive chocolate. I like Cassie's perspective. For the SUV RVing ladies of your community, it's a nice change. What a gorgeous hike; bridge and waterfall and amazing campsite in spite of the burn.As always, fantastic video and content. Am loving your new website. We are planning our trip to Tetons/YS with your resources. Thank you Tristan and Cassie.

    (Extra comments): I really enjoy your tours of Montana towns & countryside. Regarding Bozeman, I have one interesting memory; in the late 1970's after visiting the Seattle area I was forced to hitchhike back to the east coast after a ride fell through. I spent 13 hours waiting for a ride along Rt 90 outside of Bozeman! I remember a giant letter on a hillside (M or B?). Since then other trips to Montana have been much more enjoyable. Great to see Cassie & Bowser having a great time. Thanks!

    West Montana, North Idaho and north Wyoming among my favorite places. Helena is definitely a nice place and only went to check in the office for a mining company I briefly worked for but wish I had more time to look the place over. Eventually settled in near Buffalo, Wyoming but always took excursions all around the states surrounding Yellowstone. Glad you guys found a place you really like to settle someday. Hard to beat Helena. Great video!

      Livingston is a nice little town, part farmy, ranchy, part tourist hipster sort of place ,not too big , not to small , easy drive to bozeman, helena , missoula, Butte etc and yellowstone. But Helena is more of a non touristy sort of city, some of it's retail is failing (no mall any longer) but it's certainly livable , just no real air service.

    You missed a lot of cool spots here in Paradise Valley. I was just up Mill Creek this past weekend. Next time try Chico Hot Springs, Old Chico and Tom Miner Basin. From Tom Miner Campground you can hike into an area to gather some nice pieces of petrified wood. You need to be get a permit for the petrified wood at the Livingston forest service office. If you do go to Tom Miner Basin be very bear aware, the Grizzlies are in that area and people get munched on frequently there.

    I grew up in Bozeman! We moved there from Anaconda, MT after my father was killed in a smelter accident. It's has changed, alot. I lived on S. Bozeman Ave in a house that was built in the 1920s. Great sledding hill about 3 blocks away, 2 ice skating rinks about 6 to 8 blocks away and a city park that was a block away. The park had and outdoor stage (the city band had summer concerts) large playground and a city swimming pool. The shortest access was crossing a wooden bridge crossing the Bozeman Creek. Langer's pond complete with 2 rafts (gone now due to development). A lot of things to do outside as my mom would get upset if we watch TV on nice days!!

    Will you guys ever check out Kalispell MT? Population is alittle less but it's spread out and you have everything you need. I'm going to check out RV space rents. Right by Flathead River and lake. Montana is great, no sales tax! Also extremely close to Glacier National Park. I also suggest going to EWG.org to check out the water you want to bathe in and NOT drink! Helena is very bad water. Kalispell is very good in comparison. But no matter where I live, I always give my pets bottled water, never tap. Their little bodies are very sensitive. Hope you'll check out the EWG site Tristan, huge difference. Look up RoadSnacks.net, Helena is not the place for you. I look up alot of data and statistics for 2020 and Helena may be charming but listed as one of the dangerous cities!

    Favorite part, Bowser leading Cassie over the bridge! He is a brave one. Your shot of Montana Silversmith reminded that I owned a beautiful watch that I purchased from them. Sadly, I lost it. 😒
    Your videos are my private guided tours and a welcome distraction from Covid news.
    Thanks!
    Also, the music 👍👍👍
