Instagram Worthy Spots for Stunning Fall Photography in Montana

You don't have to be an influencer to want to take beautiful pictures this fall and post them to your Instagram account. If you're looking for the best places to capture gorgeous colors and dramatic landscapes, we found locations all around Montana that do just that.

Salmon Lake, Montana

Evergreen trees can be just as lovely as deciduous trees, especially the deciduous conifers like Tamaracks, pictured below. Exploring Salmon Lake, Seeley Lake, Holland Lake, or any of the smaller lakes in between will provide tons of Instagram-worthy opportunities.

Kevin League Fine Art Photography offers a workshop if you want to improve your photography skills. You can message him for more details.

Southwest, Montana

Part of the beauty of Southwest Montana is the meeting point of two landscapes, the forests of Western Montana and the prairies of Eastern Montana. You can get a sense of that transition in the photos below from Jake Guzman.

Paradise Valley, Montana

It's all in the name, right? As you can see in this photo, timing is everything. Take advantage of those gorgeous Montana sunsets to get the perfect glow in your autumn photos.

Dearborn River, Central Montana, and the Bitterroot Valley

Sometimes, focusing on other aspects of nature can bring out the beauty of the color changes. You'll see in these photos, the clouds create the moody landscapes that are Instagram-worthy.

Glacier National Park

The shoulder season is one of the best times to visit Montana's National Parks partly because there are fewer tourists but also because the photo ops are incredible.

Stevensville, Montana

If you time it just right, you might be able to take some fall photos in Stevensville and visit the Stevensville Scarecrow Festival. Foliage should peak between September 30 and October 3 in that area and the festival is October 4.

Livingston, Montana

Not only are the beautiful opportunities for pictures in Livingston, but the town is really cool, too.
