Not so hidden

Many of the "hidden" highlights of this book are really not so hidden---that is to say, they are bead and breakfast inns and restaurants or museums one would have been likely to find anyway. I was really hoping to find more hidden wildlife sights, trails and fishing spots or scenic views not generally covered in all the other tourist resources. The book provides a descent list of places to visit, don't get me wrong. There are lots of exciting adventures available in Montana, and this volume covers many. But I really expended the book to unearth more "hidden" gems than it in fact does. While overall a good book, and worth its price, this travel guide does not entirely live up to the expectation created by the series title.

hidden Montana - Awesome reasource

I took my family on a driving trip through Montana, and this book proved to be an excellent resource for discovering the somewhat undiscovered, as well as guiding us through the more mainstream sights, attractions, restaurants, and accommodations throughout the state. A must have if you are traveling through the great state of Montana.

Covers inns, tours, drives, and outdoors explorations

Hidden Montana appears in its third edition to cover inns, tours, drives, and outdoors explorations throughout the state. From Glacier Park to Yellowstone, this is packed with lesser-known byways. Recommended.

Excellent layout and variety of content.

Braeking the state up into sections, the author does an excellent job of describing and presenting the various highlights of each. Equal treatment is given to popular and off-the-beaten-path areas, with sufficient detail for each. It made my recent visit more enjoyable!
