Montana is one of the least populated states in the US.  It has rugged scenery, historical sites and interesting places to explore.  Its history revolved around gold prospecting and fur trading.  Today the state has moved on from these beginnings.  Montana is an ideal place for undertaking driving tours.

Helena is the state capital, the home of the government and the county seat of Lewis and Clark county and located in the south of the state.  That makes it an ideal starting point for touring.

A trip to southwestern Montana offers much of interest.  It is a mountainous area with plenty of outdoor activities on offer such as hiking and fishing.  There are many ranches in the area too offering a view of more traditional western ranching methods.  Also there are signs of the past in areas such as the preserved prison at Deer Lodge or the old mining town of Virginia City.

Gold West Country is has lush valleys surrounded by snow-capped mountains.  This area is very close to Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park.  There are many working ranches in this area which give visitors the opportunity to escape from the rat race and be around horses and cattle, enjoying real life adventures such as roundups or cattle drives.  Triple Creek Ranch is 2,600 acres in size and you can stay in rustic wooden cabins, enjoy fly fishing or climb Trapper Peak.

The weather in summer months can be almost perfect with cool winds coming off the mountains.  There is an abundance of wildlife including elk, bald and golden eagles, mule and white tail deer, ducks geese and herons.  Wildflowers are in abundance too and you may come across violet camas Penstemon lemhiensis, fireweed, and lupine amongst many others.

Towns to visit include Darby with its access to numerous hiking and horse trails nearby, along with a historic main street hosting stores, galleries and restaurants.  Make sure to visit the Naughty Moose a lodge popular with hunters and fishermen.
