Montana

Many people travel to Montana to enjoy the natural beauty and cool weather, and then end up looking for Montana apartments to rent because they just don't want to leave. The state called \"Big Sky Country\" is one of the most beautiful rural locations in the United States. Although it is the fourth largest state by area, it has just under a million residents.

The economy of Montana is heavily agricultural, with cattle ranching, sheep and pig farming being two of the largest industries in the state. Also important are a variety of grains, including wheat, oats and rye and sugar beets. The state's rich soil (a result of glacial run-off millennia ago) and many rivers contribute to its success as an agricultural powerhouse. Lumber is also important, with the state again offering great diversity of hardwoods and softwoods.

Mining is also key to the state's economy. No other state has so many mines offering such diversity of ores. There are gold, silver copper and coal mines across the state. During the gold rush years, Montana was one of the most popular destinations for fortune seekers.

Outdoor Attractions

The Rocky Mountains in the west give way to vast expanses of plains in the east, with rolling hills and numerous large lakes in between.

In fact, two of the country's most famous parks are located here. Yellowstone National Park is home to diverse wildlife and breathtaking mountain vistas.

There are also seven land-grant tribal colleges in Montana that have high Native American Indian enrollment, including Little Big Horn College, Stone Child College and Salish Kootenai College.
