This View of Bozeman, From the East side of Town, Illustrates the Narrator's Description of Their Approach To Town. This Is the Green Valley "Where It All Happened..
“We ride down out of the pass onto a small green plain. To the immediate south we can see pine-forested mountains that still have last winter’s snow on the peaks. In all other directions appear lower mountains, more in the distance, but just as clear and sharp. This picture-postcard scenery vaguely fits memory but not definitely. This interstate freeway we are on must not have existed then. .. The statement "To travel is better than to arrive" comes back to mind again and stays. We have been traveling and now we will arrive. For me a period of depression comes on when I reach a temporary goal like this and have to reorient myself toward another one.“
Bozeman, MT. To "To travel is better than to arrive" is a master motifs". Sections of the Narrator's "interstate freeway" are seen on both sides of the pillared white building near panorama center. At no point on the freeway into town could I find a vantage point form which to illustrate this passage. As you can see, the interstate freeway runs along a relatively low area, thus blocking the grand view of the mountains seen from here. The lush green is most assuredly is from irrigation. By contrast, note the considerably browner hills in the medium distance.
This panorama (as well as many of my others) is more than full circle. Thus you see the hill-top "water cylinder", both at the start & end of the Pan. Remember the water cylinder $ the hill. The next panorama vantage-point is up byt the water cylinder.
