Western Montana is known for its breath taking beauty, especially the spectacular fall colors and Indian summers. Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, where the Clark Fork and Bitterroot Rivers converge, Missoula is a city of around 60,000 people. The city is a medical, shopping, and transportation center for Western Montana.
This picturesque town is home to the University of Montana Grizzlies. The University is an educational and cultural center, providing many activities for the enjoyment of young and old, alike.
Missoula is the perfect stopover on the way to spectacular sights, which abound in this part of the state. A days outing to Glacier National Park, National Bison Range, or Flathead Lake are some of your choices. Gibson Mansion is conveniently located just minutes away from the University, historic museums, live theaters, city center shopping, and the historical downtown area. Activities such as nature trails, golfing, down hill and cross-country skiing are just a few of the many activities out our front door. We also offer indoor storage for bicycle and snow-ski equipment.
