Visiting Western Montana's Bitterroot Valley
Come to the beautiful Bitterroot Valley, a place where the stunning peaks of the Bitterroot and Sapphire Mountains meet the gorgeous, fertile, tree filled Bitterroot Valley. The Bitterroot River flows north through the valley, which opens into wide plains with historic towns. This is a place where the celebrated Lewis and Clark, and Nez Perce National Historic Trails meet modern, thriving communities. The Bitterroot Valley is 96 miles long and 25 miles across at its widest point, encompassing 2,394 square miles. Only 24% of the land is privately owned; the publicly owned land offers prime recreational opportunities. There are many interesting things to do here, but the breathtaking scenery is the most impressive attraction of the valley. The Bitterroot Valley is truly a place like no other.
