Montana is every outdoor enthusiast’s haven in the west. With its picturesque, unspoiled landscape, it is even often referred to as the epitome of The Great American West. The state takes pride in its wide open spaces, serving as home to more wildlife than people. Offering year-round adventures, it is home to two renowned national parks— Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Both of these parks are ideal winter holiday destinations, especially with their alpine lakes, glaciers, and ski areas. Moreover, the state features 11 national forests. A trip here is incomplete without trekking through at least one of these national treasures.
