Is This The Most Miserable Town In Montana?

Montana is a large state, and even though we don't have a ton of people living here, we have some fantastic cities and towns to call home.

I love the towns of Livingston, Hamilton, and Ennis. I'm also a big fan of Kalispell, Butte, Bozeman, and Missoula. Places where the folks are friendly and there is still some of that Montana charm to find if you look hard enough. We have beautiful downtowns, lots of mom-and-pop businesses, and tons of history here in Big Sky Country.
