Outstanding Roadside Views of The Last Best Place

What are the best small towns in Montana? What are the prettiest drives in Montana? It depends who you ask, but you don't have to look very hard in The Last Best Place to find stunning landscapes, even from the comfort of your car.

When you need a dose of beautiful, rural Montana - look no further. We gathered some pretty pics that foot the bill. The funny part? All of these photos were grabbed from Google Street View. That speaks volumes about how pretty Montana really is.

What are some of the most famous and scenic drives in Montana? There are several of them, not surprisingly. To be honest, you can't really drive from one town to another without encountering a pretty route.

The Beartooth Highway. The Going-To-The-Sun Road. The Seeley-Swan Scenic Byway. Nye Road. Boulder Road. Highway 191. Highway 287. The list is long and lengthy. Montana has at least 290 named mountain passes! (The Beartooth Highway is the highest road pass in Montana.)
