We are thinking of planning a trip to Montana for early this fall.

Other than just nosing around, we are researching places to reside in the summer that are cooler then these parts, for whenst we retire.

Having never been to Montana, was wondering iffn ya'll had any ideas on places to go/see there, and tips for the areas.

Thanks in advance.

Jeep,

Glacier National Park is the most beautiful place on earth(that I have seen so far). "Going to the Sun road" has breathtaking views and it brings you from the West side of the mountain to the East side. The KOA West is a really nice park (not your typical KOA) and is conveniently located 2 miles from Going to the Sun road. Be sure to see the lodges on the East side of the park. I don't remember the names of the lodges, but you will see the advertisements when you cross over the ridge on Going to the Sun road.
The St. Mary Visitors' center should be able to direct you to the lodges.

Flathead Lake is an area in Montana that is also beautiful. I have not actually visited it, we just drove around it on the way to Glacier NP. But it looks like it has possibilities.

Montana is fantastic!

Little Big Horn Battlefield in Hardin, Mt was a real treat. Also, we really enjoyed Red Lodge for a laid back place to rest up. Close by are the 20 something switch backs going up to 11000 ft Beartooth pass.

We to are headed to Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and possibly some other places leaving the Ms. Gulf Coast in about ten days for a 3 to 4 week trip.
Thanks for all tips on good places to stay! Dan & Jo

Warren, Private message or email Jim S. He joined POG in May and resides in Ocala,FL and Bozeman Montana. He was thinking of selling property in Montana in May.

He could probably tell you a lot about that State.

On our way to Canada visited some of the spots others have mentioned. We stayed in a nice little park close to Anconda, Mt and spent some time in Phillipsburg, There are anumber of ghost towns close to Phillipsburg just waiting for you to explore with your jeep. On our way home to start exploring all the San Juan Mountain jeep roads just a few miles from our house. Enjoy MT. We did.
