Long before it became a haven for some of the most hospitable towns in the countryside, Montana was home to the Indigenous peoples of the Cheyenne, Blackfeet, Kutenai, Assiniboine, and Atsina tribes. Today, the most welcoming towns in Montana’s countryside are where one can marvel at the scenic backdrops and heartwarming communities that invite visitors to their many luxurious attractions to savor. Whether it is lounging by Flathead Lake in Polson, skiing the powdery slopes of Whitefish, or wandering the historical paths of Anaconda and Choteau, each destination promises adventure and surprises within reach of the Triple Divide Peak, the […]

If you wish to spend time outdoors, there’s no place greater than Montana. The Treasure State is home to not only breathtaking national parks but also state parks that amaze and inspire. While many of these outdoor destinations draw in quite a crowd, I love Medicine Rocks State Park, a place full of history, natural wonder, recreational activities, and beautiful yet unique scenery.

Summer is my favorite time to get out and explore. I love to take scenic drives and tackle the hiking trails around the state. But, I’ve recently discovered that your next best summer experience in Montana may not be by car or in a pair of hiking boots — it’ll be in a canoe. The Clearwater River Canoe Trail is a paddling adventure that isn’t too long, is extremely scenic, and is perfect for a summer day. If you are looking for your next summer adventure in the Treasure State, the Clearwater River Canoe Trail is my recommendation. Located on

Last summer, we made the trek up the popular Woodbine Falls trail in Montana’s Beartooth Mountains. It’s been two years since the floods, why haven’t these popular trail bridges been replaced yet? That was the question I asked last summer. Great news, the bridge at Woodbine Falls has now been replaced, and it’s bigger than the old bridge you can see in the file photo above.

We all know Montana isn’t just beautiful—it’s wild, unpredictable, and at times, dangerous. From sudden weather changes to fast-moving rivers, grizzly bears, and rugged terrain, there’s always risk involved when we step into the wilderness. But in a strange way, that’s part of the draw. We chase the adventure, we soak in the beauty, and we accept the risks that come with it. Unfortunately, every year we’re reminded just how real those risks are. Whether it’s someone drowning, a dangerous encounter with wildlife, or like what happened just last week—a hiker who went missing—Montana’s backcountry demands respect. Credit: CanvaCredit: Canva

CARBON COUNTY — On Thursday, Red Lodge Fire and Rescue and the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office announced the three-day search for a missing 23-year-old hiker has been put on pause. According to a Facebook post, authorities believe he drowned in East Rosebud Creek, after he was washed away by fast and high waters.

One thing Montana has no shortage of is breathtaking hiking trails. All over the state, you will find trails that inspire and amaze. Places like Glacier National Park, for example, are home to dozens of these bucket-list-worthy trails — hikes that will make you fall in love with Montana all over again.
