What—do you work for the Montana Tourist Bureau??
Don’t try to sugar-coat this dire situation!
The problems are much more grave than that!
With the free-roaming beasts of prey, absence of speed limit, open-container-friendly laws and widespread gang violence, Montana has become a war-zone on the scale of Syria, Nigeria and Oakland, California.
The only sensible option is to stay the hell out!
p.s. And wood ticks! Did I mention the wood ticks??
To: bigheadfred; blueunicorn6
Come to think of it, you're both right. It's dangerous and unforgiving up yonder. If you're not running for life from cannibals (who have a special fondness for tasty liberals) you're sawing off your leg after your nasty wound starts to fester thanks to that flesh-eating microbe. But at least you have plenty of souvenirs to divvy up when you get back home.
And btw, Idaho is also delightful, although I've only passed through a couple of times.

Yeah, and the way the authorities put the kebosh on the rash of serial murders and rapes there is sickening. No one in their right mind should take a family vacation, let alone move to the area.

A wood tick got my sister. I NEVER go anywhere without my flame thrower.

>>>A wood tick got my sister.<<<
Hell, my sister got a wood tick. For a pet. Up to six pounds now, takes a half-gallon of fresh blood a day.
Happily the corpse-strewn streets, alleys and hiking trails make that a reasonable proposition.

Hell, my sister got a wood tickI hope that it was truly an orphan tick.
Nothing ticks off a mama tick more than someone messing with her larva.

I surmise that you'd appreciate the grandeur of Montana ranches as well the wilds of Wyoming. Can't vouch for the jerky, tho. My palate rejects such stiff sustenance.
I have in my album a special photo of a rainbow arching over Lake Hebgen, sprinkling its colorful array over West Yellowstone backdropped by the mtns, and caught on our drive North on a little rural northbound hwy. Do take the trip when you can.

I'm sorry for posting to an older thread, but I thought I'd share a non-National Park part of Utah. These are not my pictures, but they give an idea of what central, non-Park Utah can be like:
San Rafael Swell
A few of the pictures at the link:

Thanks, Mr. Rogers. (Thought I'd never say those words.)
The only Western state I've missed is Utah...it sure looks uniquely adventurous. And I like that.
