My husband and I have lived in Texas all of our lives. We dreamed of moving to the mountains after retirement. However, after vacationing thru Yellowstone & Glacier National Parks we decided “Why Wait?” We have been in Montana for one year and don’t regret a single day. It is absolutely beautiful and the people are very friendly. We prefer the northwestern part of the state. Even though it gets hotter than I thought it would here, there is no humidity. We love the mountains & wildlife. It has been good for our family to return to a simpler way of life.
