There is also some positive economic news at the pumps, with Montana gas prices dropping just over three cents per gallon this past week, offering a bit of relief for summer travelers and road trippers in the Gallatin Valley.On a more somber note, there are still ripples from the aviation tragedy yesterday morning near West Glacier, where a small plane crash resulted in the loss of two lives. Officials are working through the investigation and our thoughts are with the families affected.Now let’s brighten the mood with things you can do around Bozeman today.
