I visited Montana 2007 and 2008.
In 2008, I drove along I-94. The road runs along the Yellowstone River. There is a lot of flat land, probaly due to being in a river valley. The hills around it are Badlands type. I then followed US 89 along the Yellowstone River to Yellowstone National Park. The hills become more like Virginia west of Billings. As you approach US 89, the mountains become the classic peaks that you picture when you think of the Rockies. Some had snow near the top.

In 2009, I took US 2 across most of the state and headed south to Great Falls which was my first motel of the trip. (see http://boro70trip29008.blogspot.com ) I then heade to Glacial National Park. The middle third of the park was closed due to too much snow coverage (in June). I stayed in Kalispell before heading to Idaho.
