My hotel was about a mile from the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport.

The afternoon before I headed home, I was killing time at the hotel as I saw a plane that had just taken off was ascending to the east with the mountains in the background.

About 24 hours later, I would be making a similar departure.

A plane takes off from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in Montana.

The day I headed home, I ended up spending a few extra hours at the airport due to airline issues. (That’s a whole other story). So naturally I took a few more photos. Fortunately, the concourse has lot of really big windows.

You can see the Bridger Range as you look to the north. Those are the mountains in the background as the planes take off. To the south and southeast is the Gallatin Range. Both the mountains to the north and south of Bozeman are part of a cluster of six mountain ranges that make up the Gallatin National Forest
