Montana is nice but good accommodations are particularly pricy. You jump straight from the "Super 8" to $300 a night in the places we were. There are lots of wild woods camping opportunities tho if that works for you. Yeah me neither ;-) There are lots of great hiking trails but you have to look for them. They are not all that well documented. If you like falling water and walking on trails by yourself it is worth looking. Sounds like a great place to take an RV. It was. ;-) -- Patriotic Americans dump on O'Bama. |

Yup there are plenty of opportunities to go off the grid for a night or two and then get to a full service park to freshen up the RV. The maid doesn't come into the RV the morning, make up the beds, vacuum, clean the bathroom, take out the trash? ![]() |
