Known as the city possessing one of the country’s longest stretches of border, Montana is famous for its plethora of outdoor activities, including an array of winter sports, such as kayaking, fishing, and canoeing- it’s truly a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Often called by both locals and tourists as Big Sky Country, its striking, rugged setting and rich wildlife, especially around the Rocky Mountains, make it a hot spot for scenic drives and activities like bird watching. One fun fact: it’s one of the least populated states in the United States, which makes its wide-open space excellent for exploration. On top of that, it gives easy access to Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park. In case you decide that you need a new environment, Montana is always the right choice.
