The Small Town In Montana You’ve Never Heard Of But Will Fall In Love With
In Montana, small towns are our pride and joy. If you’re born in raised in the Treasure State, nearly everyone you meet will have come from a town that’s low in population but big on charm.
But in a state this vast, it’s easy for some spots to slip under our radar. Boulder is one of them. While many people have heard of Boulder Hot Springs, the town of Boulder itself remains an underrated gem.

Boulder was once a regional trading center for farmers, ranchers, and miners since it was established as a stagecoach station. Therefore, there's a lot of local history here.
