Montana is a state of superlatives. It’s home to some of the biggest, wildest, and most likely-to-amaze natural landscapes in the country. And Montana’s state and national parks exemplify this with various environments to explore. From iceberg lakes to thriving ghost towns, these state and federal lands highlight why Montana is known as the Last Best Place.
Montana’s best-known national park,
Glacier National Park, is one of those places everyone should visit in a lifetime. The northern tip of
Yellowstone National Park is also in Montana, including the steamy Mammoth Hot Springs area, and shares a similar must-see status. Other national park units in Montana include battlefields, monuments, and memorials.
