Montana Town Makes ‘Best Mountain Towns to Visit in America’ List
Last week we were talking about all the love Missoula was getting from a few different articles and publications. Fortune Magazine listed Missoula as a suggested place to visit now that people are traveling again, Thrillist had a full profile piece about Missoula and called it an "outdoorsy paradise," and River Travel Magazine had Missoula at the top of its list of fan-voted "Best Holiday River Towns."
While Missoula was in the spotlight last week it looks like another Montana town is getting all the glory this week. On Monday we shared the Thrillist list of the "Must-Visit Small Town in Every State" and for Montana, the honors went to Livingston.
Livingston is the epicenter of Montana cool, a town that fully embraces its rowdy past, even as it’s become a magnet for artists and laid-back celebs like Jeff Bridges and Michael Keaton.
Livingston gets another tip of the cap this week as Thrillist included it in their list of "The Best Mountain Towns to Visit in America."
An hour’s drive from Yellowstone, this rowdy town of 8,000 exists at the intersection of rustic western mystique and artistic freedom. Here, free spirits and nature lovers converge, drawn to the area’s unparalleled fly fishing, rafting, and more. Sidle up to the de facto town center—the perpetually humming Murray Bar - before exploring a densely packed collection of saloons and eateries on the highly walkable old-school Main Street.
We all know the beauty that's found around the state so it's pretty cool to see different spots in Montana represented as feature destinations in some of these articles. I guess that's the downfall of being so awesome, the word gets out and everybody learns our secret! What place in Montana will be the next to feel the love?
