One of the things I LOVE about Yelp, is the ability to review a city. Yes, I looked for Missoula,…read morein the top box. Up pops this listing. EDIT: Missoula, was changed to 'Missoula County', after this review was posted. I will try and find another home for it. So, after seven plus months in Missoula, what's to hate/love, what are the pro's and con's? For starters, Missoula is nothing more than a train yard, and university town. It has nothing else going for it. Yellowstone tourism is too far away. It fits the model of a city, whose residents are full of themselves. Let me explain: When someone lives in poverty, they tend to create a clique, that says - straight back to religious altruism, austerity - ,If you are not poor in the way we are poor, you are an outsider.' Now, no one with money AND a wealth mentality, has time for that petty and trivializing attitude. So they don't live here, by and large, and instead have been happy to leave the area to religious freaks, and the Hollywood Trailer Park. If you ever wanted to see a derilict example of meth and other drug infestation, and the epitomy of poverty - I am not making fun of their access to currency - then look at the Hollywood Trailer Park. Nestled between the (north) end of Russel and the Bistro on Burns, this atomic eye-sore is all anyone needs to point to, to indicate the kind of poverty in Missoula. And to be clear, I am not talking about money, solely. I have the attitude that, the money follows the attitude. So even a person with a wealthy attitude, stands a better chance than one without, almost regardless of their access to currency. Money will not fix Missoula. And the momentum has ensured that the PDX-type rejects, who have a strong adherance to the same philosophy, have migrated here. Bringing their ,agnostic' religious austerity, and militantly enforced norm. It's simply uncool in their eyes.

I'm scratching my head about the other review about Missoula. Quite the rant is all I'll say…read more I only got check out Missoula a little bit and it was still pretty cold out so I'm willing to bet like any small town like this, it's way livelier in the summer. From what I saw though I could tell it's a happenin' little place and could see totally hanging out here. When I think of Montana as a whole, I think being more or less in solitude, being in the wilds and endless outdoor adventures if that's your thing. That's all here but it's mixed in with Missoula. It starts with the trendy and funky local shops and an awesome art and music scene. We walk into Veera Donuts for example and the staff are bopping around to Blackstreet, while the walls are lined with 90's vinyl then have a Donut mural of Kurt Cobain right outside. Then go over to TacoSano and they're playing some SZA, then Soundgarden. lots of breweries, bars, shops, bakeries, and yeah, it's a college town housing University of Montana. To me that's great, having grown up in a college town. It brings life, attention and money to the area. Off the main strip it quiets down with modest houses and nice wide streets for a calm looking neighborhood. Not sure if or when I'll find myself out this way again but if you're looking for a little more than mountains, hiking and all the rest in Montana, make a pass-through Missoula.

That and sending a paralegal to represent me who also has a law firm and claims to be a veteran. lol he must of supplied real veterans with batteries. His paralegal forgot to call me, he sent his paralegal to defend me and they messed that up, even after they heard it was her beating me up. Quality lawyers call Stevenson if your not guilty but want to look guilty. Oh I forgot to mention the DA also told him about my divorce which I didn't find out about for another 14 months. Thanks Matt, your the best.

In summer staff grow, cut and store hay in the way thenoriginal ranchers did. A chuck wagon is set up by the barns where staff cook over an open fire and tell stories of cattle ranching. And yes, they do still have cattle on the ranch. Besides a tour of the home and many barns, bunkhouse and sheds, there are multiple trails to enjoy. This area gets quite hot in the summer so be sure to have water and sun protection. In winter it's windy and cold, so dress warm. A good amount of both car and RV parking is available. Public restrooms near the visitor center and the house. If in the area, this is definitely worth a visit for an hour or a day. Picnic tables are availble for guests use.

I wasn't really sure what was the historical significance of this to warrant NPS status, until I…read moredid the tour of the historic ranch house and read some of the displays. Essentially, when people think of the Wild West and the cowboys, it was only a small period of time due to mild weather. As the United States expanded westward and the Native Americans and bison were being pushed out or killed, there were large tracts of unsettled grassland. Anyone could set up shop or a house or trading post without much fuss. The cattle industry expanded and so large herds of cattle lived on the open range mostly unattended until the spring round up to brand calves and separate out mature animals to sell. Hence, the cowboys were used for this hard work. The industry collapsed as overgrazing led to to insufficient winter forage, especially during the harsh winter of 1886-1887, when hundreds of thousands of cattle died. Bison were able to get through the snow for forage, but cattle could not. Also, the invention of barbed wire led to the parceling and ownership of private land, cutting down on the open range available for cattle to graze on. This park preserves one of the ranches of the time when cattle were grazing on the open range. There's cattle, horses, chickens, and barn cats to see, as well as many historic farm equipment. It was very fun to explore and clarified a time in US history I didn't give much thought to before.
