Montana
Montana is one of 50 states in the United States, located in the Rocky Mountain State Region. Its capital is located in the city called Helena. Montana is the fourth largest US state in area, and the third largest of the 48 contiguous states. Only Alaska, Texas and California are bigger. Despite this, Montana is one of the least populated states in the country.

Geographically, the eastern state is dominated by the Great Plains, while the western state is dominated by the Rocky Mountains. The name of the state comes from the Spanish word montaña, which means mountain in Portuguese, because of the presence of the Rocky Mountains in the region. Ironically, the vast open plains of Mountain earned him the nickname The Big Sky Country.
Tourism
Montana is a rare place where you can slow down and enjoy the grandeur of nature and the American West. With only one million inhabitants spread over 38 million hectares, an area larger than Germany, it is one of America's largest preserved treasures of scenic land and wildlife. In addition, a combination of modern and traditional cultures make Montana the ideal place to experience border history and authentic small-town life.

Often called the “Crown of the Continent,” Glacier National Park in northwest Montana is one of the most intact ecosystems in the temperate zone of the planet. More than 1,100 km of hiking trails and spectacular walks offer glimpses of grizzly and black bears, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain lions and other wildlife.

Yellowstone National Park, accessible by car from three separate entrances in southern Montana, has the largest active volcano in the world. Geysers, thermal springs and other thermal resources are surrounded by mountains, rivers, canyons and grasslands that house one of the last remaining wild bison herds and two species of wolves in their natural environment.

But rare natural beauty is not confined to national parks. It stretches across the state, rewarding adventurous visitors with 24 mountain ranges, millions of acres of public land and wildlife reserves, alpine lakes, wide open plains, natural thermal springs and rivers famous for fly fishing. . Montana is where travelers can enjoy the magnificence of the natural surroundings during the day and relax in the hospitality of charming little towns at night.

In Old West ghost towns like Virginia City, and rural rodeos like Wolf Point Wild Horse Stampede, Montana mining history and cowboy culture come to life daily. In addition, the seven indigenous nations and many Native American communities in the state are working to preserve a much older history than the United States, including public events such as reenactments at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument.

Montana is filled with natural wonders, charming little towns, friendly people and slower-paced life — a land filled with experiences that really can't be found anywhere else.
Gastronomy
Montana's culinary style is a reflection of the state's history, people and climate. Over time, the foods commonly produced here have evolved from traditional Native American cuisine to a more eclectic diversion due to the immigrants and pioneers who came to Montana.

Meat plays an important role in Montana's recipes and dishes. Meat, lamb, pork and chicken are the largest contributors of meat; however deer, elk and buffalo also play a role. If visiting Montana and dining out it is not uncommon to find buffalo burger on the menu. Rocky Mountain Oysters are a combination of prairie dog, boar, ram and fried, boiled, roasted or poached bull testicles.

There are also some specialized crops that Montana ranks in the ten richest producing states. In fact, the state of Montana ranks second in flax seed production. Chickpeas, wheat, barley and beets are all produced in Montana.
