Montana is known as the Big Sky Country but residents also call it by another unofficial nickname: The Last Best Place. And it is the best place for an adventure-filled honeymoon if you love skiing and winter sports, mountains, wilderness, and watching North American wildlife in its natural setting. Montana is also the place to get a taste of the Old West, with its hospitality, barn dances, stagecoach rides and ghost towns. The crisp, clean mountain air and immense solitude make this a magical setting for your romantic getaway.
Any time of the year is a good time to plan your Montana honeymoon. Here you’ll find some of the finest ski slopes in the world, as well as other exciting winter sports like snowboarding, dog sledding, ice skating, snowmobiling and more. For a taste of unspoilt wilderness, visit Glacier National Park in the northwestern part of the state and Yellowstone National Park in the southwest. You’ll find hiking trails, alpine meadows, glacier lakes, hot springs and wildlife, including grizzlies, black bears, buffalo, elk, moose, deer and wolves.
Enjoy activities like rock climbing, fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, and whitewater rafting in the summer. Take a hot air balloon ride over alpine meadows or a scenic drive on the legendary and hair-raising Road to the Sun or the Beartooth Highway.
Montana’s towns have their own unique character with music, museums, film festivals and other cultural events. The twelve Native American nations of Montana have diverse languages, cultures and histories. You can learn about these on visits to the reservations and also taste Native American foods and buy artwork and crafts to support the community.
Out West they take hospitality seriously and wherever you stay you’ll find comfortable lodgings and friendly hosts. Glamping and dude ranches are an essential part of the Montana honeymoon experience, and will amp up the fun and romance factor. The crisp mountain air will make you hungry, and you can bring your appetite to all kinds of restaurants from Michelin starred establishments to burger joints.
