To my child-self growing up in New York State, Montana seemed about as exotic a destination as I could imagine. Far away, almost completely on the other side of the country, Montana loomed large – certainly larger in size (ranked 4th out of 50 states) than my home state (ranked 27th out of 50).

Then there was that mysterious facial profile shaping its western border next to Idaho. With its prominent forehead, nose and chin, Montana became more than a geographical location, more like a friend waiting to welcome me westward.

In college, I marveled that one of my classmates hailed from Big Sky Country, cementing her status as a true adventurer in my eyes. When I finally made my way to Montana on a business trip years later, I was every bit as enchanted as I had been in my youth.
What do you love most about Montana, wanderboomers?
Wow! It looks absolutely beautiful. I’d love to visit one day (I’m a Brit currently living in Portugal)
Love that fence. I’d like to build one of those but on a smaller scale. M
What beautiful pictures .. the one with the mountain in the distance is my favorite here, but they all have a certain appeal.
Very welcoming indeed.
Thanks, Silvia! I know what you mean. Posting these photos made me fall in love with Montana all over again ~
Me, too, Margareta! Thanks for commenting ~
Portugal sounds pretty good to me, too, Suzy – another beautiful location I have yet to visit!
