If you call Montana home, we hope you’re able to get out and explore it. From our unbeatable state and national parks to our charming tourist towns, the Treasure State is filled to the brim with gems.
We’ve previously mentioned some pretty incredible and unique Montana experiences. If these 9 aren’t on your must-do list, they really should be.
- Take a drive down Going-to-the-Sun Road.
jsnhix / Flickr Glacier National Park is like no other place in the world, and Going-to-the- Sun Road is one of the most scenic drives in America. If you’d rather not drive yourself, you can always take a Red Bus Tour.
- Experience Montana’s strangest phenomenon.
Montana Vortex Facebook The Montana Vortex and House of Mystery, located near Columbia Falls, is a one-of-a-kind experience.
- Check out Montana’s Grand Canyon.
Troy Smith / Flickr The Gates of the Mountains Wilderness Area is located just north of Helena. If you can’t make it by the end of September, take a tour next summer - it’s incredible.
- Drive down the Beartooth Highway.
Jasperdo / Flickr Stop at every viewing area along the way. This is some of Montana’s most majestic scenery.
- Visit the Old Prison Museum in Deer Lodge.
Aaron Hockley / Flickr Whether or not this old prison is haunted like the rumors claim, it’s still amazing to see such well-preserved local history.
- Speaking of haunted, go camping at Bannack State Park.
Tjflex2 / Flickr Bannack has a fascinating history, and it has its share of paranormal activity. That’s why we call the onsite campground Montana’s most haunted.
- Spend some time in the Yaak Valley.
D.Taylor in Idaho / Flickr The Yaak Valley is located in the northwest corner of the state, and it’s basically heaven on Earth.
- Take in the beauty of Makoshika State Park.
Robert Ashworth / Flickr If you live in Montana, a trip to Makoshika is a must.
- Go to Bigfork during the holiday season.
Bigfork Area Chamber of Commerce Facebook Bigfork is beautiful in any season, but you should really see it when it becomes a Christmas town.
What would you make number 10 on this list? We suggest a Montana waterfalls road trip.
