Things to do in Missoula

Missoula sits where five mountain valleys meet in western Montana, with the Clark Fork River running right through downtown. The University of Montana gives the city its energy, and healthcare, government and a growing number of tech and outdoor companies drive the economy. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is headquartered here, the Forest Service runs its smokejumper training center and fire science lab at the airport, and the city has a strong literary and brewing culture. Norman Maclean’s “A River Runs Through It” is set in and around Missoula.
