Montana

Last summer was all about Colorado. Actually, I should say 2023/2024 was a couple of years of Colorado—plenty of skiing, hiking, camping, and even a bit of backpacking thrown in. It’s been amazing, but now it’s time for the next adventure: Montana.

Here’s the crazy part—I’ve never been to Montana. From what I’ve heard, it sounds like a dream: all the outdoor vibes of Colorado but with fewer crowds and even more wide-open spaces. So why doesn’t anyone talk about it unless I bring it up first? Are Montanans just trying to keep their state a secret, or is it missing something that Colorado has—maybe that mountain-town mindset?

Either way, I’m ready to find out for myself. If you’ve been, let me know where I should go.
