Popular Montana Town Named One Of The Best For A Long Weekend

Let's be honest, the everyday grind can be a bit much to take. You know what I'm talking about, you get up, you go to work, you come home, you go to bed, you get up, you go to work....

I read something recently that says Montanans don't do a very good job of taking time for themselves. The percentage of PTO (Personal Time Off) that we leave on the table is ridiculous. The data that I saw stated that Montana Workers only use about two-thirds of their vacation time each year.

So, for all of you wondering what to do with yourselves and your time off, here is a suggestion: do a weekend getaway, or better yet, a long weekend. Now, maybe you're thinking, where would I go? What what I do?
