Missoula at a Glance
Missoula: Known as the "Garden City" for its dense trees and lush green landscape, it is nestled in the heart of the northern Rockies of Western Montana. A community of over 70,000 residents, Missoula lies in a mountain forest setting where five valleys converge, three major rivers flow, and seven nearby wilderness areas offer a paramount playground for outdoor enthusiasts. You'll have ready access to some of the world's best hiking, biking, fishing, skiing, and water recreation. Missoula offers urban sophistication in a mountain-town setting.
