Great video on my city! Released the day after my b-day, too. There's also the National Bison Range and the Ewam Garden of 1000 Buddhas just north of town, on the Flathead reservation. Lots of native language road signs going up that way, and there's always people selling cherries along Flathead lake. Best day trip ever.

What an amazing video, so informative and we appreciate the food recommendations. Shout out to the Bumble Bee 🐝 ! ;)

Very informative and great video of the area!

[mikearnett]

Thank you. We will be there next June.

Nice video. I live about 3 miles out side Missoula. Been here since 1963.

There are so many local cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and more! But yes, the winter is very cold!

From Laredo, Texas here. I went to Missoula this past June. I loved it! It’s a beautiful city. The people there were very nice and kind to me. It was so easy to start a conversation with anyone there. I loved everything about Missoula. I’m definitely going to visit a lot more. The M trail view and sunset are one of a kind. Thank you for this video it helped me a lot in knowing what places to visit in Missoula.

Just booked my airfare for my 6th trip in past 5 years to Missoula this coming June.
It's my favorite place in the world!
My ultimate experience is Big Sky Bewing...nothing can compare to a Moose Drool on tap!
Great trails, vibe, and has everything you need. While you can get around without
Renting a car if staying one day, but I highly recommend renting if staying a week so areas outside Missoula can be accessed..more trails, glacier national park, Bison Range, trips to Bozeman, .etc.
Oh and keep in mind look into renting off the airport if u want to explore well outside of Missoula. I noticed this year all the renal companies in the terminal only offer very limited miles(875) ...I guess to keep the prices down as last year I was forced to fly into Billings because it would have cost me 2, 700 to rent weekly at Missoula airport!
I'm renting 6 miles from the airport for under 600 instead of over 600 with limited miles.

I'm on my way, I really miss the way Colorado use to be! Thank you for the video and your time. Be blessed.

[tammilynn]

Thanks for your video. Especially the part about "mild winters" in Missoula, I plan on moving there.

[baybeachbeauty]

Great video! Really makes me want to visit- or live there! Thanks!

[wncjan]

Never visited Missoula, but I stayed in motels along the interstate when passing, east, west and north. May come back one day.

[robertshorthill]

I lived in Msla during my brief college years. Moved west to the coast ( Puget Sound area). Moved back to MT to the Gallatin Valley before the boom. Now Msla is as crazy as Bozeman, but it still is my second favorite place to hang for a week or two during summer next to uptown historic Butte. I can barely afford to live anywhere in MT these days.

Forgot to mention Missoula Public Library which is ranked #5 in the world. When I was there in October 2022 they were doing construction on the 2nd story outside patio to make the view of M Mountain even better.

Have you been to Paul's Pancake Parlor or Garden of one thousand Buddha's?

I was there last November and looked up the cost of living and it was only 3% cheaper than where I am now( and I don't understand why). Its definitely a nice place but where I'm from there is so many more things to do and the quality of life seems better here.

That being said there is a huge quality of life there in Missoula as well... if you want to cut loose and connect with yourself and become a human being rather than a human doing.

I wonder what the job situations are out know the housing situation is a huge problem. And Verizon me didn't work at all when I was there.

All in all....the people are fantastic....the area is gorgeous....and you will feel at home as soon as you get off the exit.

Thanks for the video

Such a beautiful lady I been through Missoula 100's of time I was a long haul trucker for nearly 30 years my favorite place to go to is Fred's....

[drewtrulock]

I live in Red Lodge right now and love it but would love to move to Missoula because I need more of an artist musician scene I need to be around more creative artsy people

[Nordicjumper]

Missoula is interesting. Since I moved to Missoula from Colorado, I have noticed that Missoula reminds me more of the Pacific Northwest than a typical Rocky Mountain town. It's a very artsy city with tons of things to do. Unlike some cities in the Rocky Mountains, Missoula has a very vibrant nightlife! Also, people tend to think that Bozeman is a ski town and forget that Missoula is also kind of a ski town as well. Montana Snowbowl ski area is literally only 30 minutes away from the city. It's a heavenly place to be in. There are not a lot of good places left to live in the US in my opinions, but Montana is a big exception, it's the best place to live in the US by far!

Nice place, but hard to make a living there. There are not a lot of good jobs, housing is expensive, everything shuts down in winter as far as job hours. Summers are very short. Winters are long. I imagine remote working has changed everything. Otherwise most people can barely make it.

[deadmedowns]

Not a lot of traffic? I beg to differ. Tis place is known to have some of the worst street planning in the universe. Comically hard to navigate for a beginner.
