I was there for about 10 days. It's pretty glorious but I wasn't there in the winter. Glacier National Park in particular is mind blowing.
This is the house in Montana I want to move into . You should see the view across the road .

I'm glad you weren't eaten alive by a big ole hungry grizzly bear or stomped to death by a 12 foot moose.
That area of the park is the most grizzly dense. Went on a group hike (minimum of 4 people recommended for this trail) with a ranger. She was yelling in many parts "HEY BEAR". It was crazy but SOP to avoid surprising one on the trail.
I drove out from Chicago area - took a couple days. Came back through the tip of Yellowstone and then through Big Horn National Forest. Driving across S. Dakota and southern Minnesota was the worst.
Speaking of driving - I managed to get 2 of the greatest drives in America in one trip: Going to the Sun Road and the Beartooth Highway. One was planned, one was a happy accident
Montana is turning bright blue with all the silicon valley execs buying up the land.
It's absolutely unbelievable to see the extent to which Bozeman in particular has become more progressive over the past ten/fifteen years. I'll never understand why people strive to relocate somewhere and attempt to mold the new location into a mirror image of from whence they came or, perhaps more importantly, how long-time residents aren't a little more firm in ensuring that doesn't happen.
