Montana

Pros: Clean, Great Price
Cons: No restaurant, 1970's decor

You might be planning a trip to Montana this summer, or if you like to ski the winter will be just perfect for you with lots of snow, and not much else. We decided to leave Montana, as the 120 days of sunshine a year were just not enough for us. So...

Pros: The western side of the state
Cons: The eastern side of the state

I've been to Montana more than any other state, but that's just because of its location, not because I like it more than any other state. The majority of this review is focused on my most recent visit to Montana, which was part of a three-week road trip ...

Pros: Beautiful Scenery
Cons: Too Smoky to See it

I heard on CNN this morning that Uncle Sam was sending 1,000 middle managers to the American West to help fight the wildfires. We're Saved! The Washington bureaucrats are going to smother the fires with paperwork. I can sleep safely at night knowing...

Pros: hard-working, friendly people who don't realize that snobbery is the norm in much of the country
Cons: drinking beer doesn't count as drinking in Montana, and this takes its toll long term

Here in California, there are many chain restaurants (e.g., Outback Steakhouse), chain bars (e.g., Elephant Bar), and chain people, seemingly conforming to norms they read about in magazines or saw on TV. People must like this way of living, because...

Cons: Western Big Sky In Motel

We visited Deer Lodge, Montana with our friends Joan and Daryl on our visit out West in August 2001. In Logan, Utah, Daryl handed me a pamphlet with hotels in the Deer Lodge, Montana area with instructions to make us a reservation for tonight. I called...

Pros: Spectacular; a moving experience; the last vestige of the real west.
Cons: If you don't appreciate the beauty of nature, then you're in the wrong state.

I live in the small town (8000) of Bridgeport West Virginia. Up until my visit to Montana, I had only experienced the east; not that West Virginia isn't a unique place, but for the most part the east tends to blur into one big strip mall. If you, like...

Pros: it is beautiful
Cons: I could have stayed much longer

My grandmother was from Montana and used to sing this. I live on the East Coast (and always have) but recently I got to go back (I last went when I was around 13) to Montana for a few days.

For those of you who have never been – you are...

Pros: very beautiful, Museum of the Rockies, Bridger Bowl Ski Area

Bozeman is one of the most beautiful cities in the state of Montana. There city lies in a valley, so you are surrounded by mountains all around. It's also a town full of beautiful trees and scenery. Unlike many of the other cities that I have been to,...

Pros: Beautiful,Lots to do
Cons: Too isolated for some

My family and I had the privledge of visiting Montana last summer during one of our annual cross-country road trips. I have never visited a place quite as beautiful. There is nothing like driving along the highway and looking out at the horizon of green...

Pros: Amazing countryside
Cons: Not so much cultural variety or action

I was born and partially raised in Montana, so although I've been away for many years and really have no call to get all huffy and proprietary, I still feel myself to be a Montana person at heart.
I'm just kidding about the 'keep yer grubby mitts...

Pros: Beautiful Scenery, Relaxing Vacation
Cons: Not Cheap

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

10 days in Western Montana--with 10 members of my extended family, staying in one house--did not sound ideal to me. It was my sister's idea and I half-heartedly agreed. I am so glad I...

Pros: Miles and miles of miles. Great place
Cons: Too cold for many people

Montana was the very last place in the USA that I thought about when one afternoon my Air Force assignments officer called and said have I got a deal for you. Convincing my wife that this assignment was not as bad as it appeared; we departed for a...

Pros: Many Beautiful and Interesting Places to See, History, Scenery
Cons: Hard to See It All

Having lived in Montana for 24 years, I experienced almost all of the state. There are few towns I haven't been to, few tourist attractions I haven't seen for myself. These are just some of the things Montana has to offer the tourist.
