Top Things You’ll Never See In Montana

Let's be real, Montanans have their own unspoken rulebook. Whether it's how you drive in the mountains, treat wildlife, or just order your coffee, there are certain things you'll never catch a true local doing. You can spot a tourist in about two seconds flat, and if you hang around long enough, you'll notice some things just don't happen in Big Sky Country… ever (unless you are not a local).

I thought it would be funny to come up with a list of things that you will never ever see in Montana and things you will NEVER see a local Montanan do. Enjoy this short list, and if you'd like to add any, shoot us a message HERE.

A California Pizza Kitchen – I can't imagine the popular pizza chain ever being able to make its way in Montana.

A local Montanan trying to pet a buffalo – That's strictly tourist behavior, bless their hearts. Petting the fluffy cows is not recommended.

A Montanan in a puffer vest without a bear spray canister – Style is fine, but survival is better.

Someone using their blinker in a roundabout – Either full-send or full-stop, no in-between. Roundabouts have been here for a long time, and unlike many places, Montanans know how to use them.

A Bozeman parking spot after 10 a.m. – Might as well hike there from Billings.

A cow crossing sign without at least one bullet hole – Call it rural Montana street art.

A real Montanan rarely hits the brakes going downhill—that's what low gear is for. Ride it out like a true local or get ready for some side-eye and burning brake pads.
