As the storm maneuvers over the vast Yellowstone Valley, raindrops begin to fall, only to be absorbed by the semiarid scenery of the city known as the "Star of the Big Sky Country."
Spring precipitation helps keep the local rivers flowing, the fishers trawling, and kayaks and canoes thoughprovoking swiftly downriver. Anglers come for the prize trout, and hunters, hikers, and rock climbers come to recognize one or more of six colse to mountain ranges. In winter, both downhill and cross-country skiers have more than enough slopes and trails at their beck and call.
