Nestled in the Rockies of Western Montana is one of America's most sophisticated small towns - Missoula. With an area population of more than 75,000, Missoula has what
you would expect to find in a big city; a wide range of restaurants, shops, galleries, several museums, a ballet company, live theatre and a symphony.
It's also home to the University of Montana, laid-back coffee houses, historic bars and cozy book stores. Still, what reigns queen in Missoula is Mother Nature. Missoula is surrounded by millions of acres of wilderness and recreation areas. Within an
hour drive you can hike four different mountain ranges, bike hundreds of miles of trails, fish five major rivers and ski any of four resorts (not to mention dozens of cross-country ski trails).
This combination of city cool and wilderness splendor makes a trip to Missoula a one-of-a-kind vacation.
