Montana is the third largest state in the nation.  It has a diverse type of land from the wide open plains & range land to the beautiful mountain peaks.  There are two national parks located in the state which are both well known for their varied beauty.  Glacier National Park is located in the western part of the state with majestic peaks and lakes.  Yellowstone National Park is the first park desiganated as a national park by the federal goverment.  It has geysers, hot springs and canyons.  It is most known for Old Faithful geyser which goes off a regular basis.  Yellowstone Park does expand from Montana into Wyoming.

Montana's population is very diverse depending on what part of the state you are in.  We have seven Indian Reservations as well as one that consists of the landless native americans.  There are Pow Wows to attend through out the state.  There are many talented individual both on & off the reservations.

Montana has rural communities as well as urban cities.  Each city has different activities to participate in.  They vary in size and what they are known for.  The six cities are Billings. Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena & Missoula.
Montana has many different sports activities to participate in such as skiing, fishing, hunting, along watching baseball, football, basketball and volleyball.  These are on the High school, level and College level. 
 

 I have added a map which shows some of the roads around Montana.  The state is very large so it takes time to  travel around the state.  There's some interstate but most roads are two lane with beautiful scenery especially in the Fall  and Spring. 

 Our State is beautiful and certainly gives a person a wide vaariety of scenery.  For the most part we do experience the four seasons,  This year our summer was very warm and hot.  You need to be prepared especially if you are traveling in the winter because the weather can change in a few minutes without much warning.  The wind does come up quickly which may cause certain roads to be closed.  Hope you enjoy the changing scenes and sunsets

In certain parts of the state you may observe the wild animals in their own habitat.  Many people enjoy mountains for hunting and some of the rivers for fishing.    There are small streams and creeks you can fish on or just enjoy the peacefulness of Montana, 

Here is an example of  one special scene.:   Gates of  the Mountains which is on the road to Helena from Great Falls.
