About Cottontail Observatory LLC

The Cottontail Observatory is located on 82 acres of private land about 3 miles ESE of the town of Twin Bridges, MT. Twin Bridges is about 30 miles south of interstate 90, Southeast of Butte, and about 26 miles south of Whitehall, exit 249. This is a DARK site at night. There is just the faintest glow on the Northwest horizon towards Butte. The few lights on the farms in the valley, about 2 miles away, are actually below the horizon from the site (elev. 5000 ft) and not really an issue. BLM land borders the site to the north and east, and it is also accessible. (but you have to go thru the site to get to it.)
