The fourth-largest state in the USA, but one of the least populated, Montana's wilds are vast, unspoiled and ripe for uninterrupted adventures. Big skies stretch out above, punctuated by snow-capped mountains surrounded by expansive forests and meandering rivers. From Glacier National Park in the north west to Yellowstone in the south, the state affords dramatic scenery, exploratory hiking trails and the chance to see wildlife aplenty including native grizzly bears. Historic towns offer an insight into life during the gold rush and ranches immerse visitors in the authentic Western way of life, still practiced today.
