Montana

Big, bold and beautifully untamed, Montana sits in the northern Rocky Mountains, bordering Canada and neighbouring Idaho, Wyoming and North Dakota. Known as “Big Sky Country”, it delivers vast landscapes of soaring peaks, rolling plains and crystal-clear rivers. Iconic protected areas take centre stage, from the glacial valleys of Glacier National Park to the geothermal wonders of nearby Yellowstone National Park in the south. Beyond the parks, expansive national forests such as Flathead National Forest and Custer Gallatin National Forest open up endless opportunities for hiking, wildlife spotting, fishing and scenic drives. Whether exploring alpine trails or soaking in wide-open views beneath endless skies, Montana offers a truly immersive slice of the American West.
