Welcome to the Bitterroot Valley!!!! 

Located in the South West corner of the State of Montana, the Bitterroot Valley is credited with bordering one of the  Largest Wilderness areas in the lower 48 states. It is also located in the "Banana Belt" of Montana, known for having more moderate temperatures than many other parts of the state. 

Wildlife is abundant here; Pine Forrests and meadows flourish. Numerous Mountain Streams flow from the high peaks, creating lush irrigated fields and pastures. The remaining water feeds into The Bitterroot River which flows through the center of the valley. This is country for those who love the outdoors! Hunting, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling or just sitting on the porch taking in the views!

There are 3 ski areas from one end of the valley to the other, so no matter where you live, one is close by. Missoula is the "BIG CITY" in the area, located at the North end of the valley, for those needing a cup of Starbucks Coffee, a shopping spree at the mall or enrollment into college (University of Montana). Missoula also offers an International Airport and is about a 35 minute drive from the center of the valley. 

There are 9 cities in The Bitterroot Valley. Starting from Missoula headed South is Lolo (9 miles), Florence (18 miles), Stevensville ( 26 miles), Victor ( 32 miles), Corvallis ( 41 miles), Hamilton ( 46miles), Darby ( 63 miles), Connor (69 miles) and Sula ( 79 miles).
