Montanans Reveal: Summer Hasn’t Started Until We See This

Even though summer has just begun, we have already seen a little bit of everything. There has been dramatic changes in the weather. Fishing restrictions have been put in place in some areas already. Of course there's also been the usual tourist interactions with wildlife in a park.

For good or for bad, there are just some things we seem to see in Montana every summer. For some people, summer hasn't officially started until they have seen a few of these things.

For me, summer has officially arrived when I drive down the road and see the old "campground full" signs as I pass campground after campgrounds. Those signs don't appear nearly as often in the spring or fall. But these days they are getting more frequent in those shoulder seasons.

Signs It's Officially Summer in Montana

For some, the smell of food cooking over a campfire is a sure sign it is officially summer.

We wanted to know what others thought were some sure signs that summer has officially arrived in Montana, so we asked our listeners. We posed the question "Summer hasn't officially arrived in Montana until I have seen ________."

Like most questions we ask these days, the answers varied wildly. Some people took a negative view, while others had a more positive outlook on summer in Montana. While some we can't post at all.
