We have never traveled to Montana, but wanted to know, if we were to spend just one week, of course wanting to enjoy resting times during the day, but want to see all of the beautiful views and areas, where would the best place to go and stay and how to spend our time there. What would you recommend us to do. Love the idea of the history and the ghost towns, but also like the wildlife. Any suggestions.
