Montana Vacation Rentals |
Montana Vacation Rentals provided through VRResNetwork.com beckons you to visit Montana. It awaits you with wide open spaces, majestic mountain vistas, and pristine glacial lakes. One of the most popular places you can visit is Glacier National Park. Established in 1910, this land of extensive mountain ranges was carved by prehistoric ice rivers. Come and breathe in the clean air of the alpine meadows, deep forests, waterfalls, and over 200 sparkling lakes and rivers. Truly a photographer’s paradise especially when accented by the colorful spring and summer wildflowers. Another famous spot to check out is Yellowstone National Park. Located in Yellowstone Country near Big Sky, the western portion of the park may be entered near here. As the largest National Park in the United States, it contains more than 2.2 million acres of steaming geysers, thundering waterfalls, crystalline lakes, and panoramic vistas. It is the world’s most extensive area of thermal activity with 10,000 features. It also encompasses 3,472 square miles of amazing wildlife. Established as the world’s first National Park in 1872, it has remained in its natural state for more than 134 years.
Visit the many historical landmarks such as Pompey’s Pillar 30 miles east of Billings. This rock outcropping rises to 200 feet above the Yellowstone River. Look for signs of past occupations on the rock face such as animal drawings created by people who used the area for rendezvous, campsites, and hunting. Also see the carved signature and date of Captain William Clark, the only visible evidence of the Lewis and Clark Expedition along this trail. Pictograph Cave State Park contains more than 2100-year-old pictographs of animals, warriors, and even rifles. The three caves (Pictograph, Middle, and Ghost) form a complex that was home to generations of prehistoric hunters which tell stories of their past, and about 30,000 artifacts consisting of stone tools, weapons, paintings, and used instruments have been identified from the site.
Grab your own tools and take part in a real dinosaur dig. Big Sky Country offers spectacular “hands-on” archaeological, paleontological, and geological experiences. As you walk along the same ground once inhabited by dinosaurs, you can safely and legally dig for remains along the Rocky Mountain Front or visit ancient archaeological sites such as Ulm Pishkun. Mountaineers can venture in rock and ice climbing in various parts of Montana. Glacier Park has over 1,000 miles of trails, while there are many remote areas within the state that remain virtually uninvestigated. In the winter months get ready for some exciting skiing, snowmobiling and sledding. In Montana you’ll find some of the longest snowmobile trails in America consisting of groomed and ungroomed trails.
After building up a sweat either hiking, biking, rock climbing, digging, skiing, or any another activity, pamper yourself in any of the two dozen developed “hot spring” destinations and 30 natural sites offering geothermal waters to relax and soothe your body. Many are equipped with rooms, fine dining, therapeutic massage, Olympic-sized pools, soaking tubs and steam rooms – all waiting to connect inner peace with Montana’s outdoor beauty. And don’t forget to finish off the entire day at any of Big Sky’s fine restaurants featuring hearty country cooking of fresh trout, Montana beef entrees, and fine ethnic dishes. As you can tell, staying in the Big Sky Country in a Montana Vacation Rental is a great way to relax and explore with the family. VRResNetwork.com will provide you the most selection and options available.
