Looking for Peace? Discover Montana’s Untouched Wilderness Gem

Every now and then, it’s great to get away from everything and have some peace and quiet. That is one of the great things about living in Montana. It doesn’t take much to find places that offer some peace and quiet.  

Recently, we spent some time on a Western Montana lake on a Saturday afternoon. Of course, it was peak beach-going season. It was crazy busy with kids, dogs, jet-skis, motorboats, and canopies on the beach.  

Eventually, as the day got later, one by one, the people cleared out, and we had the beach to ourselves. Those are the types of moments we appreciate.

Peaceful Escapes Beyond the Crowds 

Montana has some cool places where you can go and maybe find some peace. The Garden of One Thousand Buddhas is a special place that everyone should visit some time.  

You can also take a walk in the woods and check out the Blackfoot Pathways: Sculptures in the Wild, art that blends in with the woods. It’s another very special place.

There is one place where, if you want to get away from it all, you really can. 

The Bob Marshall Wilderness: Montana’s Most Peaceful Place

Montana’s most peaceful place, according to The Travel, is the Bob Marshall Wilderness, named after early forester, wilderness preservation pioneer, and Wilderness Society cofounder Bob Marshall. The “Bob” as it is called, is over one million acres of wilderness in Western Montana. 

The Travel uses input from people who actually travel around the world.

There aren’t roads in the Bob and according to the U.S. Forest Service, it's “one of the most completely preserved mountain ecosystems in the world.” 

If you ever truly want to get away from it all, exploring over a million acres of wilderness, rivers, and rugged peaks, then this is the place for you. Keep in mind, there is a large population of grizzly bears that call the Bob home. For some people this may not be the most peaceful place, but it is one of the quietest.
