HERE MAY BE MORE THAN 10 WAYS TO DIE IN YEL-
LOWSTONE, as you'll find out in this issue, but there are many
more reasons to be alive in Montana in the summer season. Really,
too many to mention. But let's try to offer you our 10 personal
favorite pastimes and enjoyments... things we've learned to love
enough to repeat on many occasions.
1. PUBLIC LANDS AND TRAILS. Endless variety of escapes and
escapades. Walk. Hike. Bike. Horse-around.
2. WATERWAYS. Kayak, float, raft and fish... from small springs
and streams to the big Missouri and classic Yellowstone rivers.
3. YELLOWSTONE. e only park of its kind on the planet. Geo-
thermal surprises and iconic critters.
4. GLACIER PARK. Quintessential Montana. Big mountains. Big
sky. Big adventure.
5. ROADS. Special routes… from the Brewery Trail to the Pie
Trail, Dinosaur Trail, and the bumpity-bump-bump Magruder.
6. GHOST TOWNS. Nevada City and Bannack for sure, but several
more to haunt.
7. FESTIVALS AND EVENTS. Seem nearly endless. Check the
EVENTS page at the end of this magazine and on
distinctlymontana.com
8. NIGHT SKIES. 70% of America sees no stars at night. Join the
other 30% here in Montana.
9. CITIES. From Billings and Red Lodge to Missoula, Philips-
burg... and beyond. Fun and Culture, Montana-style.
10. VIEWS. Instructions: Settle down. Look. Breathe. In Montana
we believe there are no bad views.
