Recreation

The need to know, slang for hunting in Montana.

Roughing it means carrying what you need or want on your back.

I wish I had this opportunity when I was a youngster.

Since Mother Nature hasn't figured out that it's supposed to be winter, we might as well get out and enjoy the trails!

You have to pay to play in Montana. Play outdoors, that is. The toys, the gear, the vehicles, the activities, the permits, and everything else you might need to pursue Montana's outdoor adventures can get VERY expensive.

We were shocked to learn that cleanup teams are finding "tar balls" and "tar patties" up to 15 centimeters, as well as "tar mats" as large as 3 meters this far downstream.

In a time where we ALL are hurting for money, the Chamber sure seems to think we won't mind funding more projects.

Some people buy a house on the golf course... what about buying the entire course? This central Montana 18-hole course is turn-key, with small town living minutes away.

Don’t be dumb. If you want to get underground and explore these natural phenomena, you need a guide that has been there before.

Without the right gear, mindset, and abilities, you could end up as a human popsicle.

Stopping the car, I saw two bags. They were sitting right next to each other in a small parking pull-out on the trail.

With my kids all living in faraway places, it's tough to get together with them too, which I also hope to do more of later. As for now though I'm still a pretty boring guy happy with the simple things.
