WINTER 2022-23

hen the mercury drops and cold northerly winds usher in the new winter season,
Montana buttons up, hunkers down, and says goodbye to the millions of visitors
who call on our state during the warmer seasons. For many, it is a time to rest and relax,
but for the hardy, there is still much to see and do in Montana in the winter months.
Scenic views and breathtaking drives away. Cold and snow be cursed. A whole world of
fun and adventure is out there for those willing to find it.
Road trips through Montana's back country need not end in winter. On the contrary. Those who live in
Montana year-round know winter is a chance for renewal. And it flushes out many of the tourists who fill
our roads so we can have this beautiful state all to ourselves. And with a lot less traffic.
