Montana Has Some Of The Best Outdoors In America

As Montanans, I'm not even going to try and trick you into thinking Montana might not be on the list.  Of course Montana is in the top of the most outdoorsy states in America.  Under our big sky, you can hike, raft, boat, fish, swim, ski (snow and water), camp, go mudding, hunt, the list goes on and on.

Let's be honest.  Even though Montana is the best, there are other states with some notable outdoor activities available.

One state that didn't make the list, that was surprising to me, was Oregon.  Oregon is like a little mountain Montana with an ocean.  There are all kinds of ways to enjoy time outdoors in Oregon.
