sunset over glacier national park

Big Sky, they call it. Perhaps on the eastern majority of the state, this is due to how wide open the spaces truly are. But for Missoula and Glacier National Park, it’s no doubt due to the innumerable sunsets in any given day.

As one winds down the roads of this park, the sun dips behind, casting dusk over your dashboard, only to reemerge a quarter mile later. Hiking trails into the mountains, the sky pours all down over the peaks, bighorns and mountain goats alike.

Montana is some of our last remaining wild, even as ranchers have largely fenced in much of that wilderness.
