Montana National Parks, Recreation Areas, & Landmarks
If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city, get back to nature, experience some historical sites, or even travel the same path explored by Lewis & Clark, then a visit to or through different parts of Montana is right up your alley. Montana is home to thousands of acres of national land that is kept relatively preserved, keeping most of its natural beauty relatively unaltered. Our site contains information about these protected pieces of nature in Montana National Parks, forests, battlefields, historic sites, recreation areas, and more.
National Parks in Montana
Yellowstone National Park
There are a couple of National Parks in Montana. The first, more commonly known, is Yellowstone National Park. Though Yellowstone Park lies mostly in Wyoming, the western entrance is actually in Montana near the very literally named town of West Yellowstone.
Yellowstone is the first National Park in the United States, and actually the entire world. Yellowstone Park is best known for its geysers, being home to the famous "Old Faithfull," among the largest collection geysers in the world. Yellowstone is also well known for its free-roaming wildlife through its complete ecosystem, especially the massive buffalo roaming through the park.
This is just a very quick summary of Yellowstone Park. For more details, you can go to the Yellowstone National Park page.
Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park, in Northwestern Montana is the other National Park in Montana. It's not as nationally (or internationally) known as Yellowstone, but our site highly recommends it as possible destination for your Montana explorations.
Glacier Park is filled with stunning mountain scenery that, no matter how our site describes it and provides images, you still have to see with your own eyes to believe. Glacier is filled with majestic mountains, and beautiful teal-colored lakes and waterfalls. Some of these water features are very easily seen from the road, or mere steps off of the road. There are numerous hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulty as well, that are well rewarded with additional stunning views, awesome waterfalls, and lakes and views only accessible by foot.
Again, this page is just a high-level summary of the different National Lands in Montana. You can go to the Glacier National Park page for additional details about Glacier Park.
