Missoula, Montana
Missoula, at the
mouth of Hellgate Canyon, straddles the route the Salish Indians traveled
to reach the Great Plains to hunt buffalo. Lewis and Clark later followed
the same route through the canyon and camped west of its entrance on the
site of present-day Missoula.
Situated on the
banks of the Clark Fork River, Missoula is home to the University of
Montana and its Performing Arts and Radio-Television Center. This 10,000
student campus includes the 22,000-acre Lubrecht Experimental Forest,
northeast of the city.
Missoula is known
as the cultural, retail and medical hub of western Montana. The Clark Fork
River runs through the downtown area which features many classic
early-century buildings.
Of significance is
the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula and its 12 structures.
Missoula is a
starting point for connections to the Flathead and Bitterroot valleys.
Montana Snowbowl
and Marshall ski areas provide winter recreation nearby as well as summer
chairlift rides.
Missoula
celebrates several major events, including the International Wildlife Film
Festival in April, Valley Oop! and International Choral Festival in July,
United People’s Powwow and Encampment and Western Montana Fair in
August.
