To say our state is full of stunning scenery would be a huge understatement, as the majority of us have beautiful views from our own backyards. But recently INSIDER compiled a list of the most breathtaking views in each state, and for Montana, the winner is the Paradise Valley.

The Paradise Valley is a major river valley of the Yellowstone River in Southwest Montana, just north of Yellowstone National Park.

It's separated from the Gallatin Valley by Bozeman Pass.
The valley was the original entrance to Yellowstone, although the park now has several more entrances.

The valley includes a little bit of everything: Mountain peaks, glacier, clear rivers, and all-around gorgeous landscape.

Needless to say, the area is appropriately named.
