Add This Scenic Drive To Your Montana Bucket List Right Away
By mid-October, much of Montana has already seen its first snowfall… and this year is no exception. But we’ve still got a little time to travel before winter weather really gets in the way, so beat winter cabin fever before it starts by going on one final scenic drive of the season. The nearly 400 mile Montana Scenic Loop is a perfect choice.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate


That includes four national forests, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Great Bear Wilderness, Scapegoat Wilderness and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation.

You’ll see 15 rural communities along the way, each of them off the beaten path.

You’ll see sweeping mountains, rolling hills, dense forests and shimmering lakes.

To get the full loop in, try starting and ending your trip in Lincoln.

Stop in as many of these charming communities as you’d like.

But you’re also never far from another small town.
Montana’s scenic loop is a beautiful drive. It takes about seven hours from beginning to end, so you may want to allow a full weekend for it so you can explore. Here are some other beautiful scenic byways in the Treasure State.
