About Missoula, MT:
Home to Montana’s top three craft breweries, Missoula offers a wealth of recreational opportunities. Its location in a river valley surrounded by mountains on all sides as well as its history has had a great influence on the development of the city's parks and recreation activities. Today the city boasts over 400 acres of parkland, 22 miles of trails, and nearly 5000 acres of open-space conservation land. Nestled in the confluence of the Clark Fork, Bitterroot, and Blackfoot Rivers, the area is also popular for white water rafting, kayaking and fly fishing.
