Montana is a big state with lots of small towns and some of those towns aren't the most easy to pronounce, especially if you're not a local.

My advice?

If you're new to Montana, make sure that you don't waste any time getting a Montana plate, if you're from the West Coast, it's best to keep that to yourself and make sure to learn the lingo because nothing will say "transplant" quicker than butchering the names of towns, counties, and streets across The Treasure State.
