Montana is a large state, and not every attraction is easy to reach. That being said, there are some spots that are simply worth the journey. If you ever have the chance to visit the places on this list, you won’t regret it.
The Highline Trail is not an easy trek -- it runs from the Logan Pass Visitors Center to The Loop Trail Head along the Garden Wall, totaling over 20 miles. But the scenes from the trail are so amazing, it's worth the journey if you're in decent shape.
Makoshika is the largest state park in Montana, but unless you live near Glendive, it requires a lengthy drive to reach. But exploring these 11,000 acres truly feels like going back in time, especially since dinosaurs once roamed the territory.

Polebridge is a tiny community that's cut off from the outside world (don't expect cell service or even electricity while you're there). Bot not only is the area absolutely beautiful, but the bakery at the mercantile is unreal.

Glacier National Park's Kintla Lake Campground sits on the lake with a mountainous backdrop, just 40 miles from the Canadian border. It's one of the most remote campground in the west, and it's absolutely spectacular.
Located in the Flathead National Forest near Condon, the trail to and from Heart Lake totals 7 miles. But the lake itself is peaceful, clean, and often secluded, so it makes for a great day trip when you need to get away from it all.
