Montana

Driving through Montana give me the vastness of not only the state but of the United States. The United States is the 3rd largest country in the world, similar in area to China. The only two larger countries are Russia and Canada yet much of their territories are virtually uninhabitable. Montana, taken alone, would still be one of the 100 largest countries out of the 233 recognized. heck, Alaska almost makes the top 40.

And I'm getting the sense that Montana can be split into three distinct regions: high mountain treed, rolling grassy hills and in the far West, plateaus; all with their own distinct beauty I might add.

Glacier National Park is beautiful with too many trails for me to take on this particular trip but the two I did go on were well worth the treks. Hidden lake and St. Mary Falls, enjoy the picks.
