Last Best Place
For a small city, Missoula is hard to beat. The location is drop-dead gorgeous. It's population is young and lively. Good restaurants thrive. While being a destination, it doesn't have the Disneyland vibe of other "vacation" spots like Bozeman, Whitefish and Livingston. A walk down Higgins Street on a Saturday morning in July is a joy... the Clark Fork churning with floaters, one of the best farmers markets anywhere, al fresco brunches, coffee shops and breweries everywhere. Downside: Cold, grey winters. Increasing wildfires in August and September. All in all, a terrific small town. Hard to find a better place to live.
