We loved Missoula. It is located in
a large valley with 5 different mountain ranges surrounding the city. The Clark Fork River runs right through town.
Missoula is a very historic city, well preserved with a beautiful park and hike
and bike trails running along both sides of the river for several miles. It was so fun to take Maya and explore
downtown using these hiking paths.
There was a big farmer’s market downtown where I picked up some wonderful
vegetables very reasonably priced. There was an antique car show that weekend
also and many people were wandering the downtown area. Although it was very busy, the city did not
feel overly crowded.
The University of Montana is just a little south and east of downtown
adding to the vitality and diversity of the city. The campus is small, but very well laid out
and the neighborhoods around it are full of cute little victorian houses. David was impressed with the university’s
forestry school and the Aldo Leopold Forestry Center located on campus.
