Montana Spring Tour

I’m no stranger to Montana’s Glacier Country, which takes up the northwest corner of this great state I call home. Most free weeks and weekends I get in the spring and fall are spent biking Going-to-the-Sun Road, or climbing the stunning peaks overlooking the park. In fact, I’m writing this blog from Montana Coffee Traders in Kalispell right now. But during peak season I tend to avoid the park itself, as July becomes overrun with tourists at every turn. During the spring tour I was given the opportunity to explore Glacier Country outside of the park, and I fell in love every day.

After living nomadically for almost two years I reached a point when it was time to find a home base, and the selection was based on what town made me feel most like I was already home every time I visited.

So as the Montana Spring Road Trip wound its way from Southeast Montana to Yellowstone Country, it felt dang good to be home.
