City/town information
This town is jumping! With a small year-round population of hardy individuals, this town comes alive in the summer... don't miss the 4th July rodeo & parade.
There are exceptional art galleries, great little boutiques & antiques stores, a small but lovely dining scene, live music in the bars. There's also an excellent gourmet wine & cheese shop called, appropriately enough, The Gourmet Cellar! Check it out...
On Wednesdays there is a super little Farmer's Market right down by the river in Sacajawea Park from 4.30 - 7.30pm
30 minutes north of the river house.... a visit to Paradise Valley is not complete without spending at least one day in Livingston
