This summer, we stumbled upon a request in the Missoulian newspaper. The request was simple. There was a young man in Missoula whose last wish was to visit Glacier National Park. Of all the places in the world that he wanted to see before his time here on earth was over, it was Glacier. With […]

Dear fall, Don’t leave! We’ve been getting along SO well. You’re giving me just enough sunshine to stay a happy girl, while at the same time you’re covering our cute towns, hills, mountains and rivers with beautiful colors. Seriously, I saw the photos. There’s no hiding from me now, mister. Our friends in Glacier National […]

Dear Autumn, Welcome to Montana. There is something about you that is utterly romantic. I’m guessing it’s the combination of leaves changing, the crisp freshness of the air and the wardrobe of boots and sweaters that are worn prominently by many a Montana girl during your time here. Either way, I’m happy you’re here. You […]

Let’s get one thing straight. I love summer. If it was a tall, dark and handsome man, I’d probably marry it.

This was the year. The year we decided to take a family vacation. That’s right, a FAMILY vacation…one with my folks, all my siblings/spouses and two of the cutest nephews in all of the land.

Guess what. It’s summer. I’m in Montana. And it’s Friday afternoon. To celebrate all three of these things, I’m getting out of town. And I’m going to get my Montana groove on. “How?” you may ask. Easy. By hiking here. Eating here. Acting like I’m 7 1/2 here. (I plan on being the person behind […]

Mainly because Montana is filled with some of the most incredible beauty that a person could ever by blessed enough to see. And judging […]

Well party people, it’s official. The Going-to-the-Sun Road (that little curvy number that laces its way through the park on 52 miles of asphalt) is officially open for the 2010 summer season. And we couldn’t be more tickled about it!! The road opens up much of the interior of the park and gives all that […]

When I was growing up along the Rocky Mountain Front, we would make a trip to Glacier every summer. And along with that trip came the annual stay at Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier Park. I always looked forward to staying at the lodge…it was such a wondrous place for a little girl who dreamed of princes and castles. Grand and beautiful, it seemed to hold something magical inside.

As many of you have probably seen on facebook, twitter or in the local media, the Montana Office of Tourism campaign is creating quite the buzz in Chicago. Recently Ms. Barbara Brotman wrote an article for the Chicago Tribune about the campaign and…we totally love it. A little excerpt, “Montana is thrusting its mountainous finger […]
