MONTANA
As the fourth largest state in the United States, Montana is truly a state for those looking to escape to wide open lands and beautiful scenery. To the east you'll have miles of flat lands that melt into blue skies (hence the nickname. Big Sky Country) and to the west you'll have the incredible Rocky Mountains.
Spread amongst its six regions, you'll find something stunning whether it's Glacier National Park in Glacier Country or the gateway to Yellowstone National Park down south in Yellowstone Country. We recommend doing a road trip to try and see as much as you can.
There's definitely more we'd love to do in Montana on a return trip to enjoy the incredible scenery even more! Whether it's following the Lewis and Clark trail, going back to Glacier in warmer weather, stay at a dude ranch, or trying one of the many water sports available here, we have a lot on our list.
