Montana Travel Blogs

My friend, McKenzie and I were looking for something to do one weekend that would be fun, and different than what we normally do...which is pretty much go to coffee, or breakfast, or go shopping, or something around town. So we decided to go fishing...kind of random for us, but that's what we were …

Well, I've been home for a couple weeks now, and after getting over the initial exhaustion of the trip home, which honestly didn't take long at all, and after clearing up the case of ringworm which I contracted from McKenzie's cat, which took a bit longer, and was pretty uncomfortable, I officially…

YAY... finally in Montana. I've only dreamt about going here for the past 3 years or so and now I'm finally here. Sal and I left Las Vegas at 6.15am and arrived Missoula around 9am local time. We had to leave the plane by walking down and out, before entering the airport building, which Sal found q…

Our wonderful, amazing trip out west this August and September.

After my adventure at the First Peoples' Buffalo Jump I had enough daylight left to drive a little further south to a newly established state park Tower Rock. for another hike!I was surprised how close the small park was to the interstate. During the majority of my hike I had a great view of the In…

Little Bighorn Battlefield, the site of Custer's last stand, was our next stop.   They have several memorials on the site.   General George Armstrong Custer and about 200 of his cavalrymen, severely underestimated the fighting ability of several thousand Native Americans they we…

Incredibly blue skies and very cool, maybe even cold, temperatures greeted us this morning in Red Lodge and we were ready to ride.  Jan and I warmed up quickly after a brisk walk to the Red Lodge Post Office to buy stamps and mail our post cards back home.   I like to mail myself a p…

Big Brothers Big Sisters had give me a free airline ticket to anyplace they flew to, so I went on the internet to look at things to do in those various cities. I stumbled upon a place called Wild Eyes in Kalispell, MT. It was a place set up for professional photographers to go and shoot pictures of…

  It was hard to leave the reservoir with its surround of green after all of the dry grasslands yesterday, but take off we did.  We were out of ND very early on this morning and started across MT headed to Glacier National Park. We are taking the scenic route 12 most of the way, more cat…

I found another picture in Walt’s (WaltJake) recent blog that I had to change.  Oh, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the shot the way he took or the way it turned out.     But if I went down the same road two minutes later it would look the way the second photo loo…

What a week it has been. This country out here is fantastic!!! As my dad would say"it's God's country". We have been through four ststes, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and South Dakota. We drove 2596 miles in 8 days and have seen some superb country. We visited, Bozeman, Big Sky, West Yellowstone, …

I originally just sent out e-mail updates so people would know that I hadn't got eaten by a bear after each day's hike or was being held captive by a hot but crazy cowgirl after a night of drinkin' but photos were challenging to email and the rest of the trip looks like it is going to be rainy so I…

Half an hour or so later we were back up at the car. We decided to back north to the Canyon Village and get something to eat. We decided on ice cream and a short break. Afterwards we decided that even though there were still things to see in the park, we would forgo them for a horseback ride in the…

We got to Montana, Kalispell.  We could see a lot of mountains.  My son waved other bikers on his backseat.  "We can communicate with other riders if they wave back us." my son said.  She grew up to be a biker day by day.

Tonight we are in Whitefish, just about 25 miles west of Glacier National Park.   Dinner was at the local Pizza Hut.  The waitress there made to evening meal really fun, because everytime she came by the table she was wearing a different pair of silly glasses, and had something fun or s…
