Montana is a big state. To see it, you need a car. Unlike urban areas where some people go their entire lives without learning to drive, or at least without owning a car, driving is as much a residential rite of passage as it is a fundamental necessity here. What’s more, there are only two interstates. So to really see the state, you have to hit the smaller highways and byways, the backroads and hidden mountain passes, the capillaries that give Montana its Big Sky pulse.
