Michelle York+FollowGrizzlies return to the Bangtails: What it meansA grizzly bear has been spotted in the Bangtail Mountains east of Bozeman for the first time in decades, marking a major shift in where these iconic animals are roaming. To get there, the bear likely braved the busy I-90—where traffic and wildlife often collide. This sighting isn’t just a wildlife win; it’s a sign that grizzlies are quietly reclaiming lost ground across Montana. As their core habitats fill up and food sources change, young bears are exploring new areas, sometimes bringing them closer to our backyards.
