Here Are The 7 Best Places In Montana To Visit On A Long Weekend
Montana is not a small state, and some of our top destinations require a long drive for most Montanans. The next time you find yourself with a three day weekend ahead, consider taking the time to visit one of these beautiful spots. They’re worth it.

A three day weekend isn't long enough to cover even a fraction of Glacier. But it's definitely enough time to explore a few of your favorite spots and make some new memories.

Whether you plan to visit Yellowstone National Park or not, West Yellowstone makes a great place to stay for the weekend. While some of the attractions and eateries are only open for the summer, but you'll find plenty to do in town all year long.

Big Sky is a top destination for skiers, but there's no much more to it than that. It's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts: The hiking, fishing, whitewater rafting and wildlife viewing will keep anyone busy, not to mention relaxing and rejuvenating at the Big Sky Resort.

Whitefish may be a small city, but there's something for everyone, not to mention the fact that Glacier National Park is nearby. Whether you want to swim at City Beach, ski at the resort, or just relax and shop downtown, a long weekend will fly by here.

If you want to spend a long weekend at Flathead Lake, make Bigfork your home base. The town itself is absolutely delightful, and you'll never run out of things to do (or eat).

Sometimes, all you'll want to do on a 3-day weekend is relax. Head to Chico Hot Springs and soak in the pools, indulge in delicious food, and treat yourself to a massage. You'll return to the real world feeling refreshed.

If you've got a few days to spare, why not spend some time in what was once Montana's first settlement? Check out the St. Mary's Mission, shop for antiques, and relax in the quiet community of Stevensville.
Long weekends can feel so luxurious. But don’t worry — even if you only have one day to get away, there’s still plenty you can see.
