Montana is a vast, wild northwestern US state nicknamed 'Big Sky Country' for its sweeping vistas and dramatic open landscapes. From Glacier National Park's jagged peaks to the rolling prairies of the Great Plains and the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone's northern reaches, Montana rewards visitors with breathtaking scenery, world-class outdoor adventure, and a deeply authentic frontier culture.
Montana's food scene centers on exceptional locally raised beef, bison, elk, venison, and freshwater fish — particularly rainbow and brown trout. Craft beer culture is strong, with over 80 breweries statewide. Huckleberries, a native Montana fruit, appear in everything from pancakes to cocktails to pie. Fine dining has flourished in Bozeman and Missoula, while classic Western supper clubs thrive in smaller towns.
