Montana's nickname is "Big Sky Country." Once you've visited, you'll know why. Jagged mountains of granite. Rolling green plains. Crystal-clear lakes and refreshing streams. They are all here in Montana. Add teeming populations of wildlife and you complete the picture of Big Sky Country, a landscape rich in scenes of natural wonder. Montana is filled with fun things to do and friendly people to meet. Hiking, biking, rafting, wildlife viewing, photography, and horseback riding are just a few of the outdoor activities available. Indoor activities - shopping, museums, galleries, dining and theater - are always enjoyable as well.
