Montana is known for being rugged, isolated, lightly populated, natural and big. Custer and the Seventh Calvary came to their demise in this state and the Missouri River has its beginning here. The state is home to grizzly bears, ghost towns, buffalo, badlands, ranches, geological sites, cowboys and Indians. The state is large and full of natural beauty and historic sites to behold.

The different seasons in this state bring very different views and vistas. During winter, the snow covers the mountains and plains and visitors can enjoy a snowmobile ride, hot springs and ski areas. Spring can bring a mix of weather but the mountain wildflowers are out in full force. Visitors can also get out and enjoy the natural scenery by fishing, hiking, climbing and camping.

Summer is a popular time for the rivers and national parks. The weather is more predictable during the summer and visitors can really get out and enjoy the great outdoors. There are numerous state parks and literally millions of acres of wilderness and open areas. Fall still has warm days and cool nights and is a great time to visit the state. Some snow begins to cover the peaks and the bald eagles are out looking for meals. This time is perfect for hunting and fishing and would be the best time to visit the state if a visitor is looking to do either of these activities.
