To know Montana is to love Montana… and if you live in Montana, you’re a lucky person indeed. We’ve had a long winter here in the Treasure State, but it won’t be long before we’re enjoying the great outdoors (without multiple layers) again. We thought we’d remind you of how blessed we are to call this state home with some beautiful photos.
