Things To Do In The Bitterroot Valley
The Bitterroot Valley is truly a Montana gem. Between the hundreds of miles of trails through pristine National Forest, the world-class fishing on the Bitterroot River, and the remote backcountry skiing, there is no shortage of adventures.
The Bitterroot Valley
At a crossroads of culture and environment, the Bitterroots blend a combination of Pacific Northwest influences with the Rocky Mountain West. Moderate elevations and increased rainfall combined with abundant sunshine make the Bitterroot Valley one of the best destinations in the Last Best Place. From cattle ranches to organic dairies and produce farms, cafes to sushi restaurants and fine dining, flea markets and thrift stores to antique stores and boutiques, small towns to large university towns, high mountain lakes to creeks and swollen rivers, music events to rodeos and farmer's markets, and the greatest concentration of microbreweries in the region, Western Montana has much to offer the traveler and resident alike. Do come and see for yourself.
