Things to do in Spring in Montana.

For many, Spring is the season to prepare for Summer. Summer in Montana is big business, with millions of folks traveling here from all over the world. However, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a Montana Spring as well.

We talked about planting a garden. One of my favorite things to do is check out all of the Farmer's Markets in the area. Of course, those fruits, flowers, and vegetables have to be planted, and that happens in the Spring.

Another favorite for many Montanans is grilling season.

Sure, some of us hardcore folks will grill all year round, but for many, Spring is the time to take off the grill cover, fire it up, and do a big cook for friends and family. Grilling is a great way to get together, have fun, play games, celebrate life, and eat.

When you think of a cookout, you might think of camping. Here in Montana, there are plenty of places to camp, but you should know that some of the more popular destinations require reservations and those fill up fast. However, camping is beloved here in Big Sky Country and even "backyard camping" is acceptable.
