Review of The Best Close-Knit Towns in Montana

How do you feel about the list?

Towns like Philipsburg, Red Lodge, and Livingston made the list because of their iconic downtowns and community spirit, but Kalispell was quite a surprise.

Kalispell is the biggest community listed, and we don't know if they should qualify.

Kalispell is a fine city, but is it one of the best close-knit communities? We would have said Whitefish or Bigfork instead.

Is there another town you would've picked?

Let us know what you think.
