Big Sky Country is home to some of the country's best motorcycle roads. The state's scenery is divided between the mountains that dominate the west half of the state and the plains that predominate in the east. Glacier National park in northwest Montana (MT) and Yellowstone in southwest are considered by many to be two of the country's most splendid national parks. Roadside-amenities in the state can be sparse so make sure you have a plan for where to get gas, eat, and stay the night.
