We’ve been in Montana for a month. That’s a record for time in any one state, except Texas, where you can spend a full month just tryna cross the darn thing. We’re moving on, but first, here are three-count-em-three charming attractions not to miss in Western Montana...
RV travel of more than a week isn’t a “vacation” per se. It’s just doing what you do at home, but in a series of new and interesting locations. Call it “regular life … but elevated!” Here are some examples from Whitefish and Bigfork, Montana...
Like much of the country, this area is currently suffering from (past) wildfire forest destruction and (current) wildfire smoke, blowing in here from Canada and Oregon. We soldier on, regardless. Glacier is 1.1-million acres of wilderness beauty. This is our third visit to Glacier...
The start of our ten-week Summer 2026 trip north to Montana, Idaho, Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon dawned sunny and bright. The first 24 hours were a dream. And then …. tragedy! Not the tragedy that this picture first suggests … I did not run over Philip’s head...

We leave Idaho in the rear-view, and head into Montana, called “Big Sky Country,” and is it any wonder why? But I propose a name change to “Big Hat Country!” All you need to know about Ennis, Montana is the fact that there are seven fly-fishing stores in a three...
Last stop USA … Whitefish, Montana. Dear friends and Whitefish residents Kurt and Susan Blades were happy to abandon all work and responsibilities on our behalf! Chilly Glacier National Park was the perfect antidote to city living and sweaty armpits. Going-To-The-Sun...
As we book it north through Montana at warp speed to get as far from Arizona heat as quickly as possible, certain roadside attractions just cannot be passed by! BANNACK STATE PARK GHOST TOWN Bannack (near Dillon, MT) is one of the best preserved ghost towns in Montana and is rich in...
As an Arizona native, Fourth of July in Phoenix has always been a non-event for me. The jello salad melts immediately, the potato salad’s always at high risk for salmonella poisoning, friends look weird when viewed through a wavy heat haze. Everything is just **too darn...
