Montana

Introducing Montana

Warning: Montana is addictive. Once you’ve gotten drunk on her soul-soothing nectar – a signature blend of wild beauty, passionate patriotism and new-age sex appeal – there is no way you won’t return for a second slurp.

Called the ‘Live and Let Live’ state, Montana is a beautiful amalgamation of big skies, big bear and big rivers, made for fly-fishing (or Robert Redford movie sets – who can ever forget Brad Pitt’s red bum in A River Runs Through It?). It’s a wild, untamed state, where even the biggest tourist attractions, Glacier and Flathead Lake, never feel crowded.

Freedom is a big deal in Montana, and the state takes its patriotism seriously. Although you’ll find a number of trendy boutiques, new-age shops, art galleries and wine bars in cool transplant towns such as Bozeman and Missoula, you’ll also see plenty of American flags and pro-war bumperstickers.
