WELCOME TO SOUTHEAST MONTANA

“I’M IN LOVE WITH MONTANA. FOR OTHER STATES I HAVE ADMIRATION, RESPECT, RECOGNITION, EVEN SOME AFFECTION. BUT WITH MONTANA IT IS LOVE. AND IT’S

DIFFICULT TO ANALYZE LOVE WHEN YOU’RE IN IT.” –JOHN STEINBECK

Out here in Southeast Montana, we aren’t surprised by the words of John Steinbeck. Anybody who has lived here, visited here or driven through here knows that with Montana, it is love.

We know that when you visit Southeast Montana and drive our highways, dirt roads, scenic routes and historic trails, you too will find it difficult to analyze the feelings you experience. There’s just something about it—those smiles you get from passersby on the streets of our small towns; the chatter you overhear from the ranchers sitting at the next table in the local diner; the riot of color as the sun sets over the badlands in a sky that, though you know it sounds crazy, just looks bigger here than it does anywhere else. Then you begin to understand: You are in love with Montana.

These experiences can be easy to miss. Our two major thoroughfares, Interstate Highway 90 and Interstate Highway 94, speed travelers through our part of the state quite efficiently, and many pass through without ever taking the time to experience the beauty and adventure this region offers. We encourage you not to make this mistake. Whether you would like to visit some of Montana’s most intimate small towns, or Billings—its largest—Southeast Montana offers experiences that can take your trip from memorable to unforgettable.

The allure is immeasurable, and the culinary and live music scenes are downright remarkable, too. This hip little community is ecstasy for the outdoorsy, pulsating with arts, culture, big-city sounds, and friendly folks who happen to love really good local food and drink.
