Montana is a state that sits in the northwest portion of the U.S. It is known for its rugged terrain, which largely comprises the Rocky Mountains. However, much of the mountainous terrain can be found in the western portion of the state, while the east is much more flat. It should also be noted that Montana is one of the least populated states in the U.S. This has made it a very popular state for national parks, and it has some of the most prominent parks in the nation. Montana is the ideal tourist destination for those who are looking to get away from the stress and rush of big city life. It is the ideal location for virtually any outdoor activity, and this includes camping, biking, hiking, and fishing.

Some of the national parks which are quite prominent include the Glacier National Park and the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. In addition to this, another popular park in the state is the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. Of all of these parks, one of the most well known is Yellowstone, the very first national park to be founded in the U.S. The scenery in this park is breathtaking. Montana is a state that is very wide open and compact. You could say that it is the opposite of states such as New York or California. Because of the wide open nature of the state, you will not want to visit without having an adequate form of transportation. Montana is also great for snowboarding during the winter.
