The 10 Most Underrated Cities in Montana
Sometimes you have to leave the city. I know, not everyone feels that way. But growing up in a small town in Nebraska, and I do mean small with fewer than 2,000 people, there are times when you just want to be in a small town.
It was so nice last weekend that all I wanted to do on Sunday was take a drive. There's got to be some great tiny towns here in the nation's fourth biggest state. I love to take a drive on a Sundays and end up at some local dive in a different town enjoying a burger.
Searching for my next road trip, I found the 12 Most Underrated Cities in Montana according to onlyinyourstate.com. I've narrowed the list to 10.
- 1
Fort Benton
Forbes named Fort Benton as one of the 15 "prettiest towns in America" and National Geographic Traveler recommends visiting Fort Benton. - 2
Thompson Falls
I hear Minnie's Montana Café in Thompson Falls is the bomb.
- 3
Scobey
Headed to Canada? Scobey is on the way. Stop by and check it out.
- 4
Shelby
Don't miss this town on your way to Glacier Park. Shelby is an old railroad town.
- 5
Frenchtown
You can probably figure out where the name came from? If you're thinking a large percent of the early settlers were Canadian, you're right.
- 6
Ennis
Maybe you've been to Ennis on the Fourth of July. They have a huge celebration every year.
- 7
Dillon
Forbes listed Dillon as one of 'America's Prettiest Towns' in 2010.
- 8
Clyde Park
If you really want to get away from it all, Clyde Park only has a population of about 300 people.
- 9
Phillipsburg
Phillisburg is about three hours from Yellowstone National Park. Enough said.
- 10
Fort Peck
Fort Peck would be a great spot if you like to fish. It is home to Montana's largest body of water and there are reportedly 50 different types of fish in the lake.
