Northwestern Montana Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
About Northwestern Montana
Northwestern Montana has long relied on its natural resources. Lumber and mining are mainstays of the economy, but those same mountains and forests now draw tourists in great numbers as well. The terrain is some of the most varied in the Mountain West, with the Bitterroot and Continental Divide branches of theRocky Mountainsflanking it on west and east, leaving a mixture of freshwater lakes, prairies, glaciers, rivers, and forests between. Winter weather is milder than the rest of Montana, due to the shielding effect of the mountains–theaveragetemperature typically floats between 20 and 40 degrees. Spring is rainy and unpredictable, but summer and autumn are consistently pleasant with late sunsets.
