Hit the Road: Montana

From the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains, museums to coffee shops and local restaurants to wineries. Montana is overflowing with adventures, experiences, and tastes that can only be found there.

With a Best Western Hotels & Resorts to call home base, here are several must-sees in Montana to add to your itinerary:

Go into town

Billings

Even if you are passing through, we highly recommend taking the time to explore Billings. This eclectic, energetic city offers a diverse experience for all visitors. History buffs can visit the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument or Pompey’s Pillar National Monument. And if it’s a food adventure you crave, the city offers a brew trail – taking to you to numerous breweries – and hundreds of local, crafted eateries that serve everything from ice cream, pizza to burgers.

Missoula

If solitude is something you seek, Missoula is the place to be. Surrounded by mountains where wilderness and adventures await, the city offers restaurants, shops, and experiences. Enjoy the peacefulness of Downtown Missoula by exploring the sights and sounds of the Riverfront Walking Trail or meander through the farmer’s market for that perfect parting gift.

Whitefish

If traveling to Glacier National Park, Whitefish is the town you want to stay in and explore. But that isn’t the only highlight of this city. Head to the Wich Haus for a hearty and delicious sandwich using fresh ingredients or reward your tastebuds with brisket, sausage, and pulled pork from Piggyback BBQ. Or keep things casual and carefree with a picnic at one of the many local parks in the area that has a killer view.

Get outside

Glacier National Park

One of the most beautiful parks around, Glacier National Park is an adventurer’s paradise. The park has over 700 miles of hiking trails, guided tours filled with detail and stunning views, and fish or boat along the lake. Glacier lives up to the hyper and cannot be missed.

Things to do

• Montana is bustling with cideries, breweries, wineries, and craft distilleries. Not only do these locations provide quality, delicious drinks, but the accompanying bites and meals elevate the experience. Laugh with friends, cheers to the road, and enjoy Montana one sip at a time. Drink responsibly.
• Visit one of Montana’s ghost towns for a history lesson and transportation through time. Visit Marysville, once a thriving gold camp, or Nevada City, a mining ghost town that lives as a historical museum.
