When I was there it seemed that many locals had walked to the park with their dogs. They are supposed keep their dogs on a lease per local ordinance though three people were letting the dogs run around of the lease. This is a problem especially when the dogs are not well trained and jump up on strangers. I was not to happy about a wet dog jumping on me. There is a small free parking area near Spruce Street with boards put up by the local Audubon Society to educate visitors to what type of birds like the park. Most of the park was donated by The Greenough Family in 1902.

Lots and lots of things to like with this brewery located in Missoula! First of all kudos to the…read morestaff. There was a lady that was the beertender and I was in a particular vulnerable place with the recent passing of my dad. She wanted to know what I was up to and I said what the primary purpose of my traveling was. She was very sweet and compassionate about the situation and that was very, very much appreciated. Very refreshing to encounter someone so kind. In addition to that this brewery generates some pretty awesome swag. I purchased two shirts while I was here and I will love to go out to other breweries and represent this one and if anh conversations start about over the shirt I will give high praise. There is also an arcade of sorts here at this brewery which definitely added a unique spin to this brewery as I didn't see quite the set up anywhere else. And finally, getting down to the nitty gritty... the beer! Steve and I had the Unholy Night, 2023 version and we simply loved it! It is a barley wine and a very good one at that. This beer was aged in rye whisky barrels and it was nice, strong and boozy! I usually really like barley wine beers and this one was no exception. In fact it may have been one of the better ones I have had in recent times. I definitely recommend this brewery if you are ever in Missoula!

They had some funky options, which probably helps it live up to its name. Only 2 sounded good, so I got 2 tasters, which was probably good since we'd been at a few other breweries that day. Service was okay - it wasn't unfriendly but also not a place that I felt super welcome. The space was nice and in a warehouse area like a lot of good breweries are. There was a nice view of the mountains as well. I'd give it a 3.5 but rounding up to 4. Nothing spectacular but if you're a brewery person and have a few days in Missoula, worth checking out.

In addition to knowing all things (and i do mean all) about the local birds, including their sounds and habitats, she could also share information perfectly about the bison, the antelopes (that we saw that day) and the native grizzlies. The local donuts were amazing as well as our lunch out with some local Montana fare. All in all a superb day, chock full of information that will have your feeling like an expert too! Don't miss this opportunity!

Wenfei organized a full day trip for us to the Flathead Wilderness Area. We went driving on bumpy…read moremountain roads, hiking up the side of a mountain alongside a picturesque babbling brook and picnicked next to a sparkling lake with a view of the mountains. Our focus was photography, and our route did not disappoint on that score. We also stopped for fresh baked goods and coffee on our way out of Missoula which made the ride that much more pleasant. We are generally outdoor people but we chose to use a tour company because we were traveling with a baby and didn't know how to find routes that would be child friendly and not overly demanding. We would definitely recommend Wenfei's guiding services and have referred several friends to her Big Sky Safaris for Montana travel. In particular her being a biologist makes an outstanding enhancement to hiking - we are not very knowledgeable about birds and animal droppings, and Wenfei pointed out all sorts of interesting things for us as well as small details worth photographing that we wouldn't have noticed on our own. Wenfei made us very comfortable, gave us excellent gear advice, and spared us many hours of poring over maps to identify good areas to visit. She also was really knowledgeable about the local plants and birds during our early autumn MT trip. This was a great splurge during our MT trip and one we'd do again in a heart beat.

You'll find live music, food trucks, coffee stands, pastries, meat, salmon, fresh veggies and fruit, beautiful flowers, and even fresh milk. It's the kind of place where you can come hungry and easily spend a couple of hours wandering around. It can be a little overwhelming because a lot of the vendors carry similar items, but I usually rotate through to help support as many as I can. Vendors typically prefer cash, although some do take cards, so it's smart to bring a little of both. Also bring a bag or two because it's very easy to walk away with more than you planned. The vibe is super friendly and local in the best way, and it always feels like a snapshot of what makes Missoula so special. If you're in town on a Saturday, it's definitely worth checking out.

My family and I have been coming to this farmers market for years now. It's an outdoor market so…read moreit's only open in the warmer months on each Saturday. There are various vendors here and you can find so much! They sell fresh, locally grown fruit, vegetables, and flowers. You can also find items such as honey, fresh baked pastries and bread, beauty products, clothing, and much more. Food trucks are also scattered throughout so there are plenty of options. I find that most of the prices are very reasonable, even though I never mind paying more to help support a fellow Montanan. I almost always run into someone I know, and even though the market itself is rather big, it still has a small town feel to it. Make sure to bring a bag or two with you for all the goodies you buy. Parking is free on the weekends so you don't need to rush through.

There were seat belts to keep you on the horse or dinosaur in my case. It only cost $2 for adults and $1 for kids. The carousel is housed in a playground area that was filled with kids playing on the modern, clean equipment and sits on the river. There is ample parking.
