Montana is widely referred to as ‘Big Sky Country’ and gives a new meaning to the phrase ‘wide open spaces’. Montana is beautifully raw and untamed, the wild and the natural; a blend of spectacular scenery and rich history. To the north is the breath-taking Glacier National Park, a beautiful wilderness in the Rocky Mountains with snowy peaks, a hidden photogenic lake and grizzly bears, then to the south is the fascinating Yellowstone National Park, with some of the world’s most vibrant geothermal activity. In between you’ll find ranches, cattle drives, rodeos and old mining towns. Tour through Little Bighorn Battlefield where General Custer infamously met his last stand against Chief Sitting Bull and the Lakota and Cheyenne native warriors, in their last armed efforts to preserve their way of life. 

Montana provides year-round opportunities; from white water rafting, horse riding, fly fishing, zip lining, mountain biking, all for the adrenaline seeking enthusiast. Or experience the laid back Western way of life with sweeping scenic drives through the mountains, leisurely strolls down charming main streets from the gold-rush era, or some quiet time at the museums to delve into the history of the fourth largest state in the U.S. The Beartooth scenic byway is not to be missed, extending from the quaint mountain town of Red Lodge, through a mesmerising land of glaciers, high alpine lakes and glacier carved cirques, to its final destination of iconic Yellowstone National Park. It’s not surprising that Montana is nicknamed America’s Best Last Place.
