Small Towns Lead to Big Adventures

Come Play

Here in the Bitterroot Valley we’re big on adventure. With eight towns, two mountain ranges and a lush river valley, there are plenty of ways to enjoy this picture-perfect destination. While the jagged peaks of the Bitterroot Mountains are filled with endless trails, high alpine lakes and outdoor experiences, history lovers will feel right at home exploring the valley’s historic sites, museums and three national historic trails.

Lake Como and the blue-ribbon trout waters of the Bitterroot River provide year-round activities like fly-fishing and boating, as well as snowshoeing along the water’s edge. Hikers will find easily accessible trails at the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge, Blodgett Canyon and Kootenai Creek, while skiers can cruise runs at Lost Trail Ski Area or take a snowmobile or ATV trip through the Sapphire Mountains. Top it all off with a hot springs soak.

Explore quaint downtowns in each of the Bitterroot Valley’s communities, where you’ll discover charming stores, art galleries and studios, coffee shops, breweries and restaurants, plus an array of accommodations. Attend popular events like the Annual Bitterroot Brewfest in July, Ravalli County Fair or Bitterroot Celtic Games & Gathering (both in August). For more information on events, visit bitterroot365.com
