If we are being honest, Montana could easily sweep several of these categories with no effort.

Montana is where people come to enjoy the scenery.

Montana is perfect if you love trees, mountains, water features, and stunning views. Big Sky Country looks like every stunning Bob Ross painting. You can't help but take in all the gorgeous scenery and feel lucky to experience it.
