It's hard to compare Montana's coolest small towns because there's a lot of them, and they can be vastly different. Montana is a huge state with a lot of geography to cover. The eastern part of the state is not like the western side.

Cool rocks and gemstones have been my jam since I was a little kid. Every family road trip would have me scouring the roadsides for "Rock Shop" signs or anything of the like.

Montana and Wyoming had another day of dangerous weather on Tuesday. Alerts and Advisories. High winds, lightning, and hail have damaged areas in both states over the last several day.

The frustration with rising property taxes across Montana continues. No shocker there. People are angry, scared, and wondering how to make the skyrocketing bills slow down. What's happening now is not sustainable.

It's no secret that Montana has some Minuteman Missiles stashed for a rainy day. If you're familiar with the small town of Monarch, you might already know where one of these nuclear missile silos is located. Pretty subdued place, as it should be.

It's easy to assume Wyoming doesn't have a lot going on simply because it's the least populated state in the country. You'd be wrong, of course, but the people that live there seem to be just fine with that misconception.

This is a head shaker, especially with how many helpful resources there are about living in Montana. So many people insist on holding onto false expectations, incorrect data, and far outdated imagery about what life is really like in Montana. It has always been hard to live here, but there's another set of challenges now.

Everyone has heard the common reasons for Montanans moving out of state. In recent years it has overwhelmingly been about the soaring cost of housing. But that's not the only reason long-time Montana residents are now packing up and moving out.

ANYONE can be a passenger in a car going from point A to point B. But being a respected, reliable, interesting, tough, practical, funny, and calm road tripper - that calls for a Montana girl if you want the best. There is no better kind of person to travel with on the road.

The snowiest towns in Montana are the stuff of winter legends. So where does the most snow fall?
