Scenes from Montana

[peacetraveler22]

There's nothing to write or say about these pictures. If I felt inspired, I would sit and create some poetic or dreamy lyrics to accompany them, but lately it seems almost no one reads such texts. And I'm lazy today, so I will just publish the photos to show you more of the scenic landscapes from Montana. This State is rarely visited by foreign tourists, as they are all gathered in New York City, Washington, DC, Miami, Las Vegas or San Francisco. These cities consistently rank as the most visited by foreign guests in the USA. It's a pity because I think there are so many more interesting, unique and beautiful places in America, including Montana. I hope you enjoy!

Which U.S. city or State do you want to visit? Maybe I've inspired some of you to think about Montana. :) Have a nice weekend!

For those who lived in Soviet Union, Montana is associated with jeans of the same name. I don't know why, but almost all jeans here were of this trade mark. So "Montana" became one of the symbols of "western style of life" in Soviet Union.

"Montana jeans" - was extremely trendy in late USSR. ))

Really good pictures. I love to the depth of my heart roads like that with no traffic, no cities, without nothing, just road and nature. It`s perfect.

Beautiful pictures!

I don't know why, but I have the "Twin Peaks" theme in my head, when I look at these pictures. :)

Great shots!
However, I respectfully disagree with this:
> This State is rarely visited by foreign tourists, as they are all gathered in New York City, Washington, DC, Miami, Las Vegas or San Francisco.
In my experience, all national parks attracts huge crowds, and foreign bus tours (mostly German and Japanese) are a large part of it. (But perhaps it's seasonal, and that's why you didn't run into them in mid-winter.) In October of 2012 (was it 2012?) I was on the road in SE Utah when all NPs were shut down... the consequences were disastrous for that area (Bryce, Zion) as probably more than half of local business depends on tourism. The crowds shifted to SPs (like Kodachrome) which fortunately stayed open. One day I couldn't get a motel room in Escalante (all sold out) and faced the prospect of a night out without camping gear, but fortunately the head ranger at Escalante Petrified Forest SP lent me a swag and let me sleep on his front lawn... sure enough, it dropped below freezing by the morning. And the airport in Page was doing brisk business in scenic flights over Lake Powell -- which I also took.

I drove from Calgary to Phoenix through Montana last September. Beautiful landscape, empty roads, high speed limit. Stayed in Butte overnight.

NICE SCENERY

How about self-sufficiency, does the climate allow you to grow stuff:))?

It’s amazing!

[yarowind.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I don't have words:)

Wooow!... :)))

Looks nice. New Hempshire/Vermont looks the same but not so cold/detached.

[iklin.livejournal.com]

It looks like Southern Siberia where I live so... No, I don't want to visit Montana. :)
Arizona attracts me. :) And other Sun Belt States.

So beautiful! And so wild!

Fascinating sceneries! I definitely would like to visit Montana if sometime I visit the US. And also I'd like to visit the Yosemite Valley and the Yellowstone National Park!
