Missoula is a quintessential
mountain town – we are lucky to be nestled in such a wonderful valley with
mountains on all sides. And while these mountains bring us such joy in the form
of recreation and sight-seeing, they also bring us four distinct seasons, and
with the seasonal changes comes something new to do in town. Here are our top
reasons to be thankful for all four seasons in Montana.
SPRING
Spring brings color to our town.
Be it in the blue of the skies, the pop of the wildflowers on the hillside, or
the green of the mountains, spring is worth celebrating. Hikers and mountain
bikers rejoice for the time outdoors, while snow bunnies still have the
lingering spring snow storms to keep winter going on a little longer.
SUMMER
Summer brings longer daylight
hours, which means more time for all things outdoors. From brewfests to river
floats and outdoor adventure, Missoula thrives in the summertime. The farmers
markets return, and with it comes music, food trucks, festivals, and new faces.
FALL
Fall is a season for change. The
newness of summer has worn off, and the town starts to quiet. The trees burst
into shades of yellows and reds, and the long-forgotten sweaters of spring come
back into the wardrobe rotation. In fall, enjoy the fall harvest at the markets
and the football season, and kick back with one of the many delectable harvest
themed meals from local restaurants. Fall is a time to savor: end of season
hikes, end of season events, and end of season festivals.
WINTER
Winter makes its appearance early
in Missoula, which is something wonderful for those of us who call this place
home. Our streets transform into a winter wonderland. For some, winter means
more time indoors to enjoy live local music, freshly prepared meals, and
warming beverages with friends. For others, winter is lived outside. Snow
bunnies hit the slopes at Snowbowl for downhill ski and snowboarding, while
others spend all their time at the Rattlesnake and similar trails for
crosscountry ski and snowshoeing. It is during this cold season that you can
feel the warmth of our local community the community.
