12:58 PM LOCAL TIMEMontana is a land of rugged peaks, pristine wilderness, and broad plains — where the Continental Divide arcs across the north and the Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains. From the snow-capped spires of Glacier National Park to the geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park (which spills into Wyoming and Idaho but forms part of Montana’s natural identity), the state offers dramatic natural contrasts. Elsewhere, wide-open skies dominate the High Plains, while historic towns like Helena, Bozeman, and Missoula serve as gateways to outdoor recreation, culture, and frontier heritage. Travelers come for hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing, and skiing, as well as for cultural experiences rooted in ranching, rodeo, and indigenous history. With relatively low population density and large national parks, much of Montana rewards outdoor exploration and off-the-beaten-path travel.
