There’s a lot to brag about when it comes to Montana. Here are a few things that no other state can claim.

  1. Three words: Glacier National Park.

  1. Lewis and Clark Caverns.

Troy Smith/Flickr An ancient limestone cavern once used by Native Americans that draws around 600 visitors a day is pretty brag-worthy.

  1. We invented the heart monitor.

  1. We have more bookstores per capita than any other state.

  1. At one time, Montana had no speed limit on the highways.

Amy Meredith/Flickr It’s a big state and people have a lot of ground to cover quickly.

  1. Our sapphires are in the Crown Jewels of England.

  1. You won’t find personal space like this anywhere else in the country.

46 of Montana’s 56 counties are considered frontier counties, having an average population of 6 or fewer people per square mile.
