Montana Hot Springs
Being a parent with a pile of kids, I long for weekends alone with my husband. Sometimes I think back to the days before kids and the free time we had to spend together. We had more time and money back then for each other and for romance. Now, whenever we can sneak away without the kids, we like to go visit Montana’s many hot springs. Below’s a list off all the hot springs we’ve visited in Montana, and most are just a short drive from Missoula.
