I just got back from an 11 day trip to Montana. The state of Montana is beautiful and rugged. Montana is the 4th largest state in the US, but has less than 1 million people. Montana is bordered by Idaho, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, and Canada to the north. During the winter, the temperatures can get to minus 30.
I saw many magnificent sites like Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Bear Tooth Pass (elevation 11,000 ft.), and the Little Big Horn Battlefield. Wow!
The people in Montana are strong, tough and rugged. It appeared to me that almost all residence of Montana love the outdoors. And-they are very friendly. Everyone helps each other. In eleven days I did not hear a local complain, or utter a criticism. They do not have an easy life.
I admire the people of Montana.
