Our community
In the southwest corner of Montana lies one of the most scenic and beautiful valleys in the country. Ranches are scattered throughout the landscapes amidst acres of lush hayfields nursed by the Bitterroot River as it meanders the length of our valley. Surrounded by the theatrical backdrops of the Bitterroot Mountains and Sapphire Range are quaint communities, unique and rich in history. Home to approximately 40,000 residents, the Bitterroot Valley has an abundance of public lands accessible for recreational enjoyment.
