It is gorgeous country. Almost all my in-laws are from up there so we travel up there for a few weeks almost every year. Maybe that makes me a Montanan-in-law. Most of them live in Billings, but I particularly like it when we visit the relatives in Bozeman and out near Big Sky. Bozeman is a perfect size little town for those that like the small town feel in the middle of a gorgeous valley. And with the exception of the region around Durango in southwest Colorado, I think the area around Big Sky is some of the prettiest mountain country I've ever seen. Of course, I'm a lover of the sea and warm weather so I still picture heaven as a quiet Caribbean beach, but I certainly look forward visiting that part of the country each year.
