Montana City Ranked Among The Ugliest In The Nation

When you think of Montana, you think of picturesque landscapes with mountain views. Or maybe it's a clear glacier lake with multi-colored rocks.

Big Sky Country is a special place, with stunning rock formations and miles of forests, all set against endless rivers. There is a reason it's called the Last Best Place. Even our cities are beautiful, well, some of them.

Places like Bozeman, Missoula, Whitefish, and several others are known for their charm and beauty, while other Montana towns might be a little more...um, rugged.
