Road trips and logging quality “windshield time” are a key part of the Montana experience, and when you have snowcapped mountains in the background, it’s a sight to behold. Here in Montana, you have the chance to explore some of the most scenic roads in the United States, like the Seeley-Swan Scenic Drive, located between the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Mission Mountains. Another scenic drive is along the Hi-Line (Highway 2) in Northern Montana, which blossoms with wildflowers in late spring and early summer. If train travel is more your speed, book a ticket on Amtrak’s Empire Builder Route and explore small towns along the Hi-Line like Glasgow, Malta, Havre and Shelby. Lastly, the Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway is one of Montana’s hidden-gem drives that features views of the Pioneer Mountain Range and Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. Make a pit stop to fly-fish for trout in the Wise River, and you won’t be disappointed.
