Also known as Big Sky Country, Montana is home to rugged and wild wilderness, small-town living, adventure-filled activities, and some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country. With places like Glacier National Park with over 700 miles of hiking trails, Flathead Lake giving over 200 square miles of fishing and kayaking, Big Sky Resort with 5,000 skiable acres, you’re sure to fill your weekends with new things to see. There is also a thriving arts and culture scene that includes battlefields, Native American history, and Western Americana like no other state provides. School districts fall in the top 50% in the nation, cost of living is a hair higher than the national average, and small “large” cities make this state perfect for those who enjoy a slower pace of life filled with natural beauty.
