What it’s like
The place. Geyser is a very small community in Judith Basin County, in central Montana. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month, and summers are warm, with August the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall across the year, so the seasons are clearly marked.
Work. Many residents work in farming, forestry and mining, which suit the open land around the town. Others find work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in local shops and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Jobs across the county fell over the past year, so work can be harder to find than it was.
Things to do. Dry Wolf Creek, a river, lies a longer drive away and offers a quiet place to spend time by the water. Sluice Boxes State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive away and suits those who enjoy open country and walking outdoors.
