Missoula, MT

Big Sky Equals Big Fun

Known and the “Hub of Five Valleys”, Missoula Montana is a destination that blends natural beauty with urban sophistication. Being a destination that is blessed with an amazing and diverse natural environment sets Missoula as one the best places for outdoor adventure and excitement. With its foundation as a trading post back in the 1860, Missoula has its roots deep in the history of the American West and the frontier. Missoula blends this rich history with a youthful and progressive population as it is the home several colleges including the University of Montana. Given Missoula’s blend of young and old combined modern and classic, it is an incredible city to spend a few days. There is an abundance of arts and culture with local galleries, annual events and a fantastic array of museums.

Flowing through the center on Missoula is the Clark Fork River, which is both a gorgeous centerpiece and a huge draw for thrill seekers. During the summer, visitors and residents both love cooling off while rafting, tubing, kayaking and canoeing on the Clark Fork. Over on the other side of Missoula sits the 2000-plus foot Mt. Sentinel, which offers hiking trails and lookouts providing amazing views of the city and the surrounding area. After the adventuring outdoors, taking some time in downtown is a great to experience the style and culture of Montana. With a wide array of unique shops, great restaurants and local breweries, there is never a dull moment in Missoula. Jaunts outside of Missoula are just as fun being that Montana has six great ski areas and Glacier National Park just a short drive away. Added to that the great hotels, resorts and B&B’s and what you have is a complete and perfect holiday that is a perfect mix of the American Frontier and youthful finesse.
