Discover Montana | Montana Travel

I love Wyoming and didn’t care for Montana too much. There really isn’t much to see there. However, Wyoming is beautiful especially Jackson Hole. It’s a small ski town but this time of year the river will still be low enough to give you great ride on some rapids. Ospreys are everywhere and gorgeous to watch. There is also an Elk reserve but I hear they only come down in winter. Yellowstone Natl park is about 2 hours away and just west of the west entrance is Harrimans park where I went horseback trailing and saw an moose calf.

Northwest Wyoming is nice. If you havent been to the Tetons and Yellowstone you should see it, once. Flagg Ranch between Yellowstone and the Tetons is a good place to staty. They have cabins there. But its very crowded and expensive in the park and around Jackson. If you want something less crowded and still have the scenery try northern Lincoln county around to eastern Park county around Cody, on the outskirts of the parks near the Shoshone National Forest and the Absaroka and Beartooth mountains. The Bridger-Teton National Forest in Sublette county. Or the Big Horn mountains in Big Horn county in north central Wyoming. If you like to fish and dont mind high desert scenery Flaming Gorge in Sweetwater county is a good place at Buckboard Crossing campground and marina. Flaming Gorge extends into northern Utah and that side a little nicer. Southwest Montana is nice also. Much the same as northwest Wyoming, expensive in some places, fewer people and nice scenery.
