There are few things better than hitting the open road with friends and discovering the beauty of a place from behind the wheel of your vehicle. One of the best places to explore by car: Western Montana’s Glacier Country. Our wide-open spaces, charming small towns, jaw-dropping landscapes and well-maintained highway system make for the perfect place to hit the open road.

The weather has been warming up, so, naturally, we found it necessary to take a road trip to the Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge. We kicked off our travels in Missoula and took the scenic route through Moiese. That was the right choice—it offered up some beautiful scenery! Here are some of our favorite shots from one perfect afternoon.

A big blue sky and puffy white clouds offered a picture-perfect day.
Driving to the Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge, we took a must-stop in Moiese at the Bison Range.
We stopped in Charlo for lunch at this little gem. The food was delicious!
We made it!
We were greeted with spectacular views of the refuge and the Mission Mountains.
Excuse us while we swoon over this view.
This 4,027-acre refuge, open year-round, offers amazing opportunities for hiking, birding and wildlife viewing.
On our way home, we stopped at Great Gray Gifts. This place has some of the best Made-in-Montana gifts around.
And…the tastiest huckleberry milkshakes!
