MONTANA Travel Information

Glacier Country

Perhaps the most magical time to visit Glacier Country is during the winter. All the stunning scenery is still here, but covered with a beautiful layer of white. Believe it or not, our temperatures are rather mild during the winter. Because we're on the Western slopes of the Rockies, we're protected from most of the harsh, cold winds that create havoc. Expect an average between 23 and 40 degrees, although temperatures can change quickly (this is a mountain environment, after all).

Gold West Country

Welcome to Gold West Country, the southwestern part of Montana filled with evidence of our rough and tumble past. These days, we're a much friendlier place packed with everything that comes to mind when folks dream of Montana: ghost towns, unspoiled wilderness, spectacular views, big ranches, trout-filled rivers and a slow-paced, genuine Montana way of life. We think we have all the best that Montana has to offer, conveniently tucked into our corner of the state between Glacier and Yellowstone Parks. We hope you enjoy your time in Gold West Country, Montana's True West!

Russell Country

There's something about spring and summer in Russell Country that just can't be beat. Our big sky, uncrowded landscapes and friendly people make the sun shine just a bit brighter here. Throw in a ton of outdoor activities, such as blue-ribbon trout fishing, and you have the perfect place to spend your spring or summer vacation. The heart of Montana's beauty is legendary, but you have to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it. The best way to view it is by fishing, biking, boating, hiking, camping, horseback riding, white-water rafting, swimming or just about any other outdoor activity you can think of. If you like a lot of variety with your outdoor recreation, Russell Country is your ideal vacation spot.

From the legendary "great falls" encountered by the Corps of Discovery to the famous Ulm Pishkun Buffalo Jump, Russell Country is full of historic sites and landmarks, as well as reenactments that will take you back in time. We also have top-notch museums, such as the newly expanded C.M Russell Museum Complex, and the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, both in Great Falls. It's all part of historic Russell Country.

Russell Country has dozens of events this spring and summer that will make your vacation complete. Among them are the many rodeos held throughout the state, including several PRCA sanctioned events, and the legendary Harlowton Rodeo, which will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year on July 3rd and 4th. This NRA sanctioned rodeo features all your favorite rodeo competition including bull riding, calf roping, barrel racing and much more.

Yellowstone Country

Welcome to our west, where the past and present merge to make our place in paradise. Our past is in the history of dinosaurs, Lewis & Clark and the Corps of Discovery and the cowboys that traveled by horseback across our majestic landscapes. The present takes you by modern travel via bike, raft, skis, snowmobile, or automobile, to name a few. They merge when you explore Yellowstone's wonders, amble through our communities or museums, or join festivals celebrating our past. Our 'West' combines old-fashioned western hospitality with natural wonders and world-class charm. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure or in town sight seeing we've got it all. Experience our West and make yourself home in Yellowstone Country

Missouri River Country

In Missouri River Country, you're going to be surrounded by wildlife. Outnumbered, even. Fewer people means more room for elk, deer and antelope. The skies above northeastern Montana are filled with upland gamebirds and waterfowl. You'll spend your autumn days surrounded by beautiful country-and you might even head home with the trophy of a lifetime. For an unforgettable hunt, bring your gear and we'll provide the paradise. Hunt the wide open spaces for pronghorn, mule deer or whitetails. You'll find this corner of Montana is not only an exciting place for your hunting adventure but a land of unrivaled beauty and wonder. Whether you choose to go with one of our knowledgeable guides or explore the land on your own, you'll treasure your hunt of a lifetime in Montana's Missouri River Country

Custer Country

Custer Country, Montana. It's where legends such as Custer and Lewis & Clark roamed. And it's where today's adventurers continue to roam.
