Things To Do
CSKT Bison Range
About 45 minute drive from Missoula. The bison herd there descends from a free-ranging Reservation herd started by Tribal members in the 1800’s when plains bison were near extinction. Congress has now restored the Bison Range to federal trust ownership for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) so that our award-winning natural resource managers can take over as stewards of the Range’s buffalo, wildlife and land.
Glacier National Park
If you want to extend the trip for a few days, now is the time to visit beautiful Glacier National Park! The park is about a 2.5 hour drive from Missoula. Please ask us questions or for recommendations. The glaciers are quickly disappearing, so you’ll want to go sooner than later!

This is a lovely stroll through a protected bird habitat. Bring your binoculars! About a 45 min drive from Missoula, you could spend about an hour here- the drive is beautiful as well. You could pair it with a trip to Bitterroot Brewing in Hamilton after your walk.
Snowbowl
This is our local in-town ski hill. In the summer, they have a chairlift running for sightseeing and access to the frisbee golf course and hiking around. It’s beautiful, and there’s a frisbee golf course at the top! Ps this may or may not be the secret huckleberry picking spot…
