MONTANA BIG SKY COUNTRY Montana is home to two major National Parks - Glacier and Yellowstone - and numerous state parks and recreation sites
Whether your goal is bagging a trophy elk or spending an afternoon or a week on our blue-ribbon trout streams we have tips on where to go, what you need for the trip and information on rules and regulations for hunting and fishing in Montana. The coldest temperature on record for Montana is the coldest temperature for the entire continental U.S. On January 20, 1954 -70 °F was recorded at a gold mining camp near Rogers Pass. Temperatures vary greatly on such cold nights, and Helena, 40 miles (64 km) to the southeast had a low of only −36 °F (−37.8 °C).[4] Winter cold spells last a week or so. They are the result of cold continental air coming south from Canada. The front is often well defined, causing a large temperature drop in a 24 hour period. Conversely, air flow from the southwest results in "Chinooks". These steady 25-50mph (or more) winds can suddenly warm parts of Montana, especially areas just to the east of the mountains, where temperatures sometimes rise up to 50 - 60°F.[4] |
