Yellowstone National Park

A stretch of highway that runs all the way through Montana is hated by most drivers.

Yellowstone Park technically never closes, but most of the roads do. Beginning November 1 there are just two gates open (weather permitting) throughout the winter.

The longest road in America stretches over 3,300 miles and crosses 10 states, one of which is Montana for just 12 miles

Many of the trees are aspens and so they evoke beautiful golden colors. Contrasted against the rivers and mountains, it creates a spectacular visual.

Nowadays, with the advent of the cell, and smart phone, more than likely a payphone will just be a shell of it's former self.

Does Montana really deserve to be ranked in the top 10 for this?

A very popular and highly visited tourist destination is much better if you go off season in Montana.

There is an abundance of wildlife in Yellowstone National Park, but this particular one doesn't belong on his own. Help bring Joaquin home to his family.

I'll admit, having someone drive me around while I gawk at all the wonder is kind of appealing. But have you checked to see just how much that will cost you?

Enjoy a beautiful weekend exploring Montana in the Gallatin National Forest and the Petrified Forest while staying at the Tom Miner Campsite.
