Hiking and Backpacking

Montana-The Land of Shining Mountains!

Montana is a word borrowed from the Latin expression meaning "mountainous." The rugged Continental Divide zigzags across western Montana from the jagged peaks of Glacier Park to the ancient Beartooth plateau. The potential for hiking and backpacking in Big Sky Country is endless and inviting. And don't forget; when you're in the backcounty, it pays to know what to do if you get into an unexpected situation.
