Time to Enjoy a #VirtualMontana Adventure
04/21/2020
Even when you can’t leave home, it does your body and soul good to dream big. So why not travel—virtually, that is? From the comfort of your couch and the solace of your Instagram feed, find out how you can explore #VirtualMontana.
Bigfork
Flathead Lake State Park is both a treasured destination during a visit to Bigfork, as well as a great way to visit the area virtually. Head over to their Instagram account to enjoy some scenes of the lake and parks.
Bozeman
You can explore Bozeman’s famous Museum of the Rockies when you head over to their Insta. Learn how T.Rex walked on their toes, or take a deep dive into Montana history in their posts. You can even head over to the virtual learning library on their website to enhance your virtual museum tour.
Get in touch with the town through the @visit_bozeman account, and follow along with #onlyinbozeman to see what others post. This is a great way to be engrossed by the Bozeman way of life, complete with sweeping views and shots of wildlife.
Gardiner
Keep it simple in Gardiner. #GardinerMontana will give you a taste of the town, featuring plenty of wildlife at this northwest gateway to Yellowstone.
Glacier
Glacier Country Tourism @glaciermt has a top-notch Insta presence, bringing you stunning views from all around the region, especially Glacier National Park.
You can never go wrong with the official National Park Service account, @GlacierNPS. The shots speak for themselves, and you can get plenty of information to help you plan future visits for when it’s safe to travel again.
Another great way to go virtual with Glacier (off Instagram) is to get on their website’s live webcam feed. Watch for wildlife and see how the view changes throughout the day.
Yellowstone
The account you don’t want to miss is the official @YellowstoneNPS, with wildlife photos, distance learning, and panoramas from the park.
For even more of Yellowstone, as well as other stunning national park photos from around the country, follow Jacob W. Frank’s account. The good news is, you’re pretty likely to get some Glacier love in his feed too.
Hot springs in the winter are pretty freaking awesome looking when the wind cooperates. 😍

Yellowstone has several webcams to binge-watch, including a live view of Old Faithful’s eruptions. You can also go into their video archive for scenes of wolves frolicking and bison roaming that they recorded on the webcams in past seasons.
For a lift to your spirits and beautiful shots of all of these places throughout Montana’s big sky country, check out our Instagram, @highline_adventures. Use #VirtualMontana to explore more, and help keep your family and our communities safe while you wander, virtually.
