MacDonald Pass is on U.S. Highway 12, thirteen miles east of Helena, Montana. It is steep and should be avoided in the winter. Of course, you could say that RVs should avoid traveling in the winter in the northern Rocky Mountains and I would agree. It goes double for steep roads in the winter. In …
Montana’s Big Sky motto is obvious everywhere we look. Big Sky is stunning. The longer we stay in Montana, the more we love it. All that may change during tomorrow’s cold snap.

FoxRVTravel-Snippet: Montana State Parks Pass is for non-Montana Residents. Should you get a Montana State Parks Pass? How much will it cost? Will it save you money? How do you get one and how do you use it. We didn’t figure this out right away. But it was clear the first time we looked at …
Glacier National Park is Majestic. We only saw maybe ten percent of the total area. It was super in every way. Spring was in full bloom in the last part of August. The snow melted off the high country only a couple of weeks before our arrival. We had perfect timing and didn’t have to …

Most people would say Montana is remote. We are now remote in Montana and more remote than most people ever experience in their life. We have been remote before and we like — remote. Here the nearest city is only twenty miles if you flew to get there. Flying to get there from here would …

We can say that we loved Yellowstone and will be going back….soon. In fact, we are going back next week.
We spent two nights in Livingston Montana at Osen RV Park — a commercial campground for the weekend. We avoid commercial campgrounds preferring the more rustic settings.
