Montana Holidays

Montana sits in the north-west of the United States, along the Canadian border, and is the fourth-largest state in the country. Known as ‘Big Sky Country’, the region’s scale is sure to leave you awestruck, with its vast horizons, hulking Rocky Mountains and authentic ranches creating a true sense of freedom.

Much of the state remains untouched, making a Montana holiday one of the best ways to experience the USA’s iconic wilderness. Glacier National Park is its crown jewel, where the legendary ‘Going-to-the-Sun Road’ winds for 50 scenic miles past mountain valleys and alpine lakes, including Lake McDonald with its rainbow-pebbled floor. As the road unfurls before you, you might spot grizzlies and mountain goats foraging in the distance.

Any holiday to Montana is also likely to include a visit to Yellowstone National Park in the south, where geothermal wonders, such as Old Faithful geyser and the Grand Prismatic Spring, sit alongside sweeping valleys. Often referred to as the ‘American Serengeti’, this is where bison, elk, deer, and bighorn sheep roam freely. Plus, with minimal light pollution, you’ll be in one of the best places in the country for stargazing come nighttime.

Beyond the National Parks, Montana’s character is shaped by its cowboy lore. Authentic Western culture is still very much alive in the form of working cattle ranches, rodeos and historic towns like Virginia City. Experience it for yourself at the likes of Triple Creek Ranch and The Ranch at Rock Creek, where outdoor adventure is combined with luxurious touches, placing you at the heart of Montana’s breathtaking landscape.
