Storytime: Montana Style

Over the last several weeks, we’d been reading stories from travelers, writers and bloggers about the beauty, fun and experience that is Western Montana. Stories heralding everything from our brewery scene to places to view wildlife and red jammer tours to the best towns to grab great food.

And we love it.

Here’s a sampling of some of the latest stories on Western Montana…

Seven Days in Montana’s Beer Country – One woman’s journey of how beer brought her to Montana…and how it’ll bring her back again.

USA Today – One of the best places to view wildlife is the National Bison Range.

Happy weekend.

One Day in Glacier National Park

This girl spend her Wednesday in Glacier National Park driving the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

The best part?

Hmmm…I’m not sure if it was the nice gate lady at West Glacier (happy and friendly–a great way to start a day in the park), cruising 50 miles through the heart of Glacier with the window down, admiring the colorful wildflowers, visiting with folks at Logan Pass and on the Great Lodges of Glacier Tour, perusing the educational displays at the St. Mary Visitor Center or simply reveling in the absolute majesty of what the Blackfeet Nation calls the “Backbone of the World.”

The first stop of my day.

Climbing up the road.

Stopped for construction...not a bad view. ;)

Logan Pass

Sunrift Gorge. One of my favorite places in Glacier.

Proof I was there!

The view of Wild Goose Island.

Any way you slice it, I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

Cruising through Western Montana

This week has been a whirlwind. This girl has gone everywhere from Seeley Lake to Glacier National Park and Whitefish to Trout Creek. And while it has flown by incredibly fast, I’ve been able to see some of the most absolutely beautiful and breathtaking sites in Western Montana.

Cruising the waters of Flathead Lake.

Chowing down at the Whistlestop Cafe in Paradise.
