LEWIS AND CLARK NATIONAL HISTORIC TRAIL
No other exploration of the West can even be held in the same sentence as that of the expedi-
tion of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. The beauty of this trail is that it isn't just in one
location, it's spread far and wide across Montana.
Learn about their journey along the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers with a loop around
Northeast Montana's Badlands and prairie country. Trace the Missouri River west toward its
headwaters and canoe the river just as they did 200 years prior. Stop and enjoy the splendor
of everything from Old Western towns to archaeological dig sites. If you've still got the ener-
gy, a cast on the Missouri River is a beautiful way to end the day.
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Let the crown of the continent also
be the crown of our rankings, and
for obvious reason. The glaciated
mountains and alpine peaks sky-
rocket to the heavens, causing one's neck to get sore
from gazing up at them for too long. Mountain goats
forage in the alpine, bear grass enframe your camera,
and grizzly bears keep us all on our toes when hiking
in the backcountry. Glacier is not only a must-see
destination in Montana, but proudly resides on buck-
et lists the world over.
