Our INCREDIBLE RV Road Trip Through Western Montana! 😍 Top Things to Eat, See and Do!

[@marieneu264]

Our friends went to Montana for their honeymoon in August, and we all thought they were so weird until they got back and we saw their pictures. Every single one was amazing. Everybody doesn’t love the beach and tropical places, so I’m glad they did what made them happy. They’ve convinced this beachhead to try something new.

[@Theendlessadventure]

You should definitely give Montana a try! It is beautiful and a lot less crowded than other states we've been too 🙌

[@stephaniehegman1541]

Montana is gorgeous! I live in Idaho, but both sides of my grandparents lived in Montana so that meant many trips growing up. I do think Idaho & Montana have some really pretty & cool places!

10:40 you could get some mud flaps. They would solve that problem. That’s what they’re for. Would save you some time cleaning Ruby. They won’t keep her pristine but they would keep most of that mud off of her and would be a cheap easy mod.

Was gonna make same comment. Pep boys mudflaps will fix that problem.

[@judithburke1539]

Their tires are partially outside of the fenders!

[@craigcampbell1843]

@@judithburke1539 they make mud flaps that extend out past the fenders for that reason. The ones they have probably just aren’t wide enough.

[@waterfalls4540]

Oversized fender flares that cover tyres would do the trick. Many trucks face the same issue.

@@waterfalls4540 sure but it’s a lot cheaper and easier to just screw on some wider mud flaps.

“Last best place” is what we call Montana, so there are a lot of things named after that. I live outside of Bozeman, the more expensive and hipster version of Missoula few fun facts: This winter was way too warm. Snowpack was gone super early and was nowhere near deep enough. Our snowpack feeds many major river systems in America so this is pretty bad, but we’ve had a ton of rain in spring so hopefully will be okay. The bitterroot wilderness which spans into Frank Church River of no return is the largest forested wilderness area in the lower 48. Only one bigger overall is Death Valley. Western Cafe is okay, there are better options. Lastly for anyone who comes to town, we really don’t plow. Know how to drive in snow or come in summer.

Montana looks amazing, the wide open spaces, the scenery, the people. Must visit some time. Thankyou for the tour guys.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Touché! 🤣

[@robertlynn7332]

The "last best" thing is a very Montana adjective and gets added on to any type of business. I've heard last best brewery, last best pizza restaurant, last best radio station, etc. I've lived here for 13 years now and would rather not hear another "last best" jingle. Glad you had a good time here. You should come back in the spring or fall. It's really spectacular in the shoulder seasons. Summer is great to if the smoke from wildfires isn't too bad.

[@DanielleGlick]

18:51 I can't believe you didn't mention there is an inflatable hot tub full of people for the skiers to jump over!!! Never seen anything like that before! 🤣

Yayyyy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You ever get back to Montana? You should try stoping in Butte I think you'd have a great time.

[@Badgerpapa]

Huckleberrys are like a cranberry and blue berry mixed. A young Lass would make a special Huckleberry desert for her true love, so when Val says I will be your Huckleberry it is a very mixed message. Hope you did not get caught up in the avalanche issues. The skijoring looks like fun to watch, we had a pony that pulled us skiing and sledding as kids. Stay safe and healthy.

[@Jack-Mi-Hoff]

Actually he is saying/supposed to be saying, “I’m your Hucklebearer. The handles on a casket are called Huckles. So he is saying i’m your casket bearer. Hucklebearer was a common term back then. Similar to today’s Pallbearer.

If you ever get back to CA, I would swing by the date farms near Palm Springs. I had a Date Milkshake that blew my mind. 🥰

[@elaineevans7126]

That’s Shield’s Date Garden in Indio. 🥰

[@Theendlessadventure]

We actually had one recently when we were down there. It was a bit too sweet for our taste, but we loved how local and unique (and cold) it was!

[@SleepyPaul]

Date milkshake is far superior to Huckleberry, which is pretty mid honestly. I love my home, but huckleberry is just meh.

[@alisefranklin8490]

Huckleberry pie is the best there. I always buy the huckleberry chapstick…..yes…chapstick! The best! All my family request it for a souvenir! Love Bannack! We camped there at their small primitive campground. We walked around right at dark…..spooky! Hiked up the hill overlooking the town, think it was a cemetery!

[@johndornoff]

Bannack is such a cool ghost town; even in the summer, it was not overly packed. Garnet, which is northeast of Missoula, is another great ghost town, although it is busier than Bannack despite the twisty dirt road to get there.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We actually tried to visit Garnet, but the only way to get there was via snowmobile or backcountry skiing and the logistics/timing just didn't work out. We'll definitely have to come back in the summer and check it out!

Horse racing with a skier being pulled along behind also happens in Switzerland. They have horse racing on the frozen lake at St Moritz, known as the Frozen Truf.

I've always wanted to try huckleberries! Relating them to Creme Savers is perfect for me to get the idea because I was always the mom friend with a purse full of Creme Savers and butterscotch discs for my gal pals 😆

[@TomLentz]

Happy to see you enjoying my part of the country! Huckleberries are my very favorite. Try the jam or pie! For those who don't know, think blueberry but smaller and more intense flavor, a bit more tart. Grows above about 2000' in the NW where there is snow and enough rainfall, ripe in august or september depending on climate and sun. Coastal huckleberries (more red than purple) aren't the same.

[@jerriecook6908]

The huckberry jam is awesome! My sister brought me huckleberry tea and jam. Loved it!

[@dianerussell3432]

We live up in the nw and pick and make our own jam and syrup... best thing ever

[@Spudeaux]

Perhaps the most Montana thing is those guys who look like they're sitting in a hot top just below that skijoring jump. I remember an episode of Top Gear where they tried skijoring behind cars, it was a bit wild. Anyway, y'all's singing voices aren't half bad!

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I think Ruby's fenders aren't big enough and that's why the mud shoots up. If you put on "fender flares" or whatever they're called, it might minimize that happening.

[@jennifercesario9238]

OMG! I grew up in Darby Mt.! You guys should go up tin cup, there are awesome camping spots. My parents still live up that road.

Skijouring is so cool, I would love to visit Montana in the winter. Before skijouring became a competitive sport, the Native Sami people in the northern Nordics used mainly reindeer (dogs too) as a way of travelling while skiing behind it. This in Norwegian became “skikjøring” meaning ski driving!
