Have you ever wanted to own a cool business in a stunning part of Montana? How about buying a lodge/bar/restaurant/event venue that's 'on the way' to everything cool? There's a popular roadside lodge for sale that is surrounding by the Lewis and Clark National Forest - and it's awesome.

Montana has some of the best small town bars in America. Our rural bar/restaurants make national 'best of' lists all the time. Montana locals have their own favorites and one is particular is about as authentic as you can get, but has great menu items at very decent prices.

We all know skiing has become a very expensive sport. Lift ticket prices have increased dramatically across the country, and ski hills are more crowded than ever. However, Montana still has a couple of excellent ski hills who have landed on a 'Most Affordable in the U.S.' list.

It would be genuinely difficult to find a Montana State alum who hasn't spent some celebratory time in this historic Bozeman home. Many a keg has passed through it's doors and it might actually be the most common denominator among generations of Bobcats.

Moving to Montana sounds like such a good idea, but it's a very challenging new home for most people. Locals are exhausted from breakneck growth, and it's not the same place that is portrayed on TV. 'Fitting in' in Montana takes patience and situational awareness.

Bad reviews of Yellowstone National Park are almost something we enjoy reading these days. So many of them are based on such foolish complaints - the fickleness of Mother Nature, not enough wildlife on demand, or perhaps too much steam coming out of a geyser.

Every state has chores to do before winter, but in Montana - some of those tasks are so important that they could save your life. Preparing yourself, your home, your pets, and your vehicle can add up to a long list.

Although the Yellowstone National Park area is very seismically active and thought of as "that super volcano", Montana itself is only the 9th most seismically active state in America. In the last week, there have been 15 quakes - 1 of which was above magnitude of 3.0 and it was near Belgrade.

It's not just about having a knack for choosing less busy days in Yellowstone National Park. There are rules involved and permits to get if you'd like to do some backcountry camping in the first national park for all to enjoy.

Montana is obviously a big place, so it takes a lot of resources to cover such a vast territory. There are over 280 fire departments across the state, with the vast majority (80%+) being completely volunteer. No matter if they're career or volunteer, one of the most loved assets of fire departments? The fire stations themselves.
