Montana is the fourth largest state with about a million people in it, which is the whole experience. The eastern two thirds are plains and badlands, the western third is mountains, and the Rocky Mountain Front is one of the abrupt landscape edges in North America. Cattle outnumber people roughly two to one. Go for Glacier before the glaciers finish going, and drive the Beartooth Highway, which climbs to eleven thousand feet and was called the most beautiful road in America by somebody who had seen the others.
