The Missoula Montana Airport is expanding its direct flight options this month. Two more direct flights to California will be added to MSO's rotation on a seasonal basis. 

The additions bring MSO's direct flight total to 14 with some of those flights year-round and some seasonal. Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington are the states in rotation.

With the new additions, I put together a gallery of all the spots you can travel to and from Missoula with activities to do at each destination. You can think of it as your own travel guide for getting the heck out of Missoula for a weekend.

I included tourist attractions, sports events, restaurants, National Parks, hikes and everything in between.
