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.
