Natural beauty is abundant in the state of Montana, and the Missoula area is certainly no exception. The city finds its home at the heart of western Montana, lying between Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. Moreover, multiple national forests and wilderness areas border the city, including the Lolo National Forest and the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area. These wildlands provide habitat to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including black and grizzly bears, coyotes and multiple eagle species among its most notable inhabitants. But you don’t have to leave the city to feel the spirit of nature. The mountains cradle Missoulian society while the Clark Fork flows directly through its heart: a physical reminder that, here, the natural world and the man-made are inseparable.
