Best places to visit in Montana?
Jan 24, 2021, 3:36 PM

Thinking of flying into Whitefish & checking out glacier for a few days, then driving south, hitting Missoula then on to Bozeman and Yellowstone.
Will be there in August. Any other must-sees? Best place to get a guided flyfishing trip?

We flew into Spokane

Did the trail of the Hiawatha (bike down an old train track)
Spent a day in Coeur d’Alene awesome lake
Then drove to Whitefish
We stayed at Bar W guest ranch and I only have nice things to say about it
Skeet shooting, fly fishing, horse rides along Canadian border, etc. it was awesome
We did Glacier and it was also awesome
We were there in September and parts of the park were already closed
Drove into Canada to say we did
Beautiful place and I highly recommend

I just wanted to hit a gas station and buy something and drive back to say I had driven to Canada

Bar W ranch looks awesome, exactly what we’re looking for there. We’ll do some more bougie place in Bozeman. The tents and horseback riding there looks awesome.

This year was better though, they weren't allowed inside. COVID is good for some things.

Don’t miss Harlowton.

Little place there called “Applebee’s”. Tell them you don’t need a menu, and that Obed told you to order the bourbon street steak. You can thank me later.

Nice dude! I’m always on the lookout for those locals-only spots, the unknown authentic places where you really get a feel for people and culture. I’ll bookmark this.

If you are going to Yellowstone don’t skip Grand Tetons.

Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody is neat but probably not worth going out of your way.

For fly fishing, look into Ennis, MT.

This is a no stoplight town with a fly fishing problem. Neat little town with a couple of good restaurants, plenty of lodging (mostly cabins, we stayed here: www.elwestern.com, dew wreck or mend) and a few good bars, including Willie's Distillery. It's about an hour NW of West Yellowstone.
Prolly more fly fishing stores than gas pumps.

lesson about driving to see nature. It was awesome for about 30 minutes, and then, it just looked the same all the time.
And then, that squirrel came flying up the ledge while I was looking over, and nearly made me soil ye olde underwear. The sucker almost flew right through us, talk about an adrenaline rush, yeesh!
