It's known as the last best place and big sky country.

And you can see why with its stunning landscapes that kiss the sky.

To me there's no place more beautiful or down to earth.

We're excited to share with you our home the way we experience it every day.

Through sights, touch, sounds, smells, and tastes.

What hits you when you step off the plane?

Montana looks like rugged mountains and open valleys.

Everything from mountains to lakes to rivers.

Montana to me looks like Glacier National Park.

One word comes to mind when you visit Glacier.

From its majestic mountains and roaring rivers to melting glaciers that give the park its name.

You can't visit Montana without exploring Glacier National Park.

For the most unforgettable views, take the going to the sun road from Lake McDonald to St.

You can even hop on a boat tour through these pristine waters.

So Nevada City, Montana is an abandoned town that has been rebuilt on its footprint.

We have a huge collection of artifacts and it's a step back in time.

So if you live here, if you're just visiting, it is absolutely guaranteed that you will be wearing a hat at some point to protect you from all of the elements and the place to get that hat is here at Meshica Custom Hats.

My grandfather started the business and then passed it along to my dad and then my dad passed it along to me.

Make it look super old like if it belongs in Montana.

And fire is the base of the start of the distressing.

To me, Montana looks like the Roosevelt Arch, the first entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone is the world's first national park.

Teeming with wildlife, you're bound to spot gangs of elk and other wild animals roaming the mountains and valleys.

Lots of times you don't hear anything and that's pretty damn cool.

It sounds like Shake-A-Day, which is at most bars here.

There's five dice in this cup, you get two tries, you're rolling for a natural Yahtzee.

Montana is Music in the Mountains Festival in Big Sky.

It's a free concert series that attracts bands from all over the country to perform here during the summer.

You can hear the music bouncing off every house downtown and people come out of their front doors just to hear the bands play.

I'm a local here in Paradise Valley and to me, Montana tastes like a bison burger, which is why we're at the old saloon.

I mean, any place that you go to get a burger, there's sure to be a bison burger on the menu.

And those are just classic staples here in Montana.

And you know when you're eating bison, it's local, it's from around here.

I get to make whiskey, moonshine in Montana.

You know, a lot of people think of bourbon and moonshine coming from the East Coast, but all the mining camps in Montana had moonshiners and somebody making whiskey.

Yeah, I'm proud to be part of that and carry on that legacy.

The Pecan Noodle Parlor is the oldest Chinese family-run restaurant in America.

Well, on the marquee neon sign is the word Chop Suey.

What Chop Suey is, is tidbits of kind of leftover vegetables mixed in its own gravy.

So when miners used to come here at the early mornings, they would run out of food.

So our family put together tidbits of vegetables, served over chow mein noodles, and that became Americanized Chop Suey.

Montana also tastes like a fishbowl cocktail from the Sip N Dip.

The Sip N Dip is a staple in Gray Falls, Montana, and then you get to watch mermaids at the bar while you're drinking in a tiki lounge in the middle of Montana.

You smell cattle ranches everywhere you go.
