Guided by Nature

Time to Treasure the Treasure State

Western Montana's Glacier Country is more than just a place, it's a call to slow down, wander farther and take the time to truly experience our natural treasures. With more than just mountain views, you'll discover space to explore and connect. From sparkling lakes and rivers to nine scenic travel corridors to vibrant communities rich in history, arts and culture, every turn offers a chance to be present in the moment.

Spring and summer bring endless adventures, if you take the time to embrace them. Hike quiet trails, cast a line in blue-ribbon trout waters or watch wildlife in its natural habitat. Meander Western Montana's backroads, bike the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road before it opens to vehicles, or simply sit back and soak in the view. However you adventure, the fresh mountain air offers a fresh perspective.

As you explore, we ask that you treat this land with care. Respect the trails, rivers and wild places so future generations can experience them, too. Please recreate responsibly and leave our natural treasures just as you found them.

Take your time in Western Montana's Glacier Country—not just to slow down, but to make every moment count. Order your free travel guide now.
