Missoula, known as the 'Garden City" for its dense trees and lush green landscape, is nestled in the heart of Northern Rockies in Western Montana. Missoula is a community of nearly 100,000 residents, and lies in a mountain forest setting where five valleys converge. Missoula is only 140 miles from Glacier National Park and 270 miles from Yellowstone. Within an hour's drive of Missoula, is the largest freshwater lake in the Western United States, Flathead Lake.
