If you're thinking about where to take your family this year on a vacation, want to see beautiful scenery and don't want to leave the United States, Montana is the place to go.

There is no denying how beautiful it is here at home, which is a big reason why we all live here. Plus there is so much to do here, but Montana is very much the same. Tons of hiking and biking trails, lots of wide-open amazing views, and really nice people who are always willing to help you out if you need anything.

I will admit I am biased toward the Big Sky state after spending almost seven years living there but I've been away more than a year and a half and would highly suggest you going to visit if you haven't had the pleasure of doing so.

If you are looking at taking a trip to Montana here are my top 5 destinations on what you need to visit while adventuring around the gigantic state.
