The largest city of the state is Billings, which is a center of transportation. The famous Yellowstone National Park is just a bit South-West from the city, but it is in Wyoming State. If you happen to be in the city, visit the beautiful paintings and statues in the Yellowstone Art Museum, and check out the native animals of the Wild West in the Montana Zoo.

The city of Great Falls is situated in the Northern part of Montana. The Missouri River crosses the city, and has several wonderful waterfalls along its flow. The city is the home of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center, which tells the story of an expedition back in the early 19th century, when they discovered the Wild West.

Missoula is situated in the Western part of the Montana. It is the educational and timber industrial center of the state. The city is the home of the University of Montana. It’s worth to visit the local Museum of Art, which is a fantastic artistic collection. The Rocky Mountain Visitor Center has an exhibition about the Rocky Mountain.
