MONTANA'S
NATIONAL
PARKS

T
HINK MONTANA IS JUST GLACIER AND
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARKS?
Think again. They may encompass most
of the tourism when we think of wildlife, moun-
tains and big sky country, but what about Lewis
and Clark? What about the magnificent forts and
historical Western events? Rivers and wildlife cor-
ridors? Little do many know that Montana has nine
national service areas for us to explore, learn from,
and enjoy. From the high peaks to the lowland val-
leys, epic trout streams, and heroic scenes. Here's
a handy summary of each park and its highlights.
Get out there and explore!
