Begin with two of the world's greatest treasures, the crown of the continent Glacier National Park, where mountain goats pose in their home of unparalleled scenery and Yellowstone National Park where primal geothermal forces gush out of the earth while bison graze nearby.

Next, fill the wide-open spaces between the parks with wilderness refuges, rodeos, celebrations and festivals, soaring Rocky Mountains, rivers and lakes, state parks, art galleries, close-knit agricultural communities and modern cities, blue-ribbon trout streams, museums, elegant resorts and unpretentious ranches, and abundant, viewable wildlife.

That's Montana. Unspoiled. Unforgettable.
