There is just something unique about living in a small tight-knit community that you can't experience while living in the big city.
That unique experience is what lead the website Far and Wide to find the best small town in each state, and it's hard to argue their selection when it comes the Treasure State.

A resort town with fresh powder for skiing in the winter, Whitefish Lake for water fun in the summer, and great hiking and biking trails throughout the year, Whitefish is beloved among travel pros.
