We're so happy you'll be joining us in Western Montana! Missoula is our favorite place, and we can't wait to share it with you. Below you'll find some places and things we love in town, and in the greater Western Montana area.
A couple blocks from where Hannah used to live, there's no greater fun than the weirdness to be had at a minor league baseball game nestled between a river and some mountains.
The Camino
125 North Pattee Street, Missoula, MT 59802, (406) 317-1260
Extraordinarily tasty/hip/fun Mexican Kitchen & Agave Bar, owned by our dear friends <3
Is this the place catering our wedding? Yes. Are we recommending you go here for brunch anyway? Also yes.
Biga Pizza
241 West Main Street, Missoula, MT 59802, (406) 728-2579
We know you're gonna say, "sure, that pizza is probably good *for Montana,*" but you'd be WRONG, this pizza is VERY VERY WONDERFUL. Artisanal! Seasonal! Incredible!
Le Petit Outre
129 South 4th Street West, Missoula, MT 59801, (406) 543-3311

Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and treats! Cookies that could save your life.
Black Coffee Roasting Company
525 East Spruce Street, Missoula, MT 59802, (406) 541-3700

Good beer, food carts, and an awesome patio on a nice day
Montgomery Distillery
129 West Front Street, Missoula, MT 59802, (406) 926-1725
Did you not think there would be a classy, upscale cocktail bar on the list? Delicious drinks and a sunny space; half the people we know (and a few at the wedding) have worked here.
Western Cider
501 North California Street, Missoula, MT 59802, (406) 540-4477
Locally grown and brewed easy-going and traditional ciders from the Bitteroot Valley and the Pacific Northwest, in a gorgeous space by the river.
Missoula Art Museum
335 North Pattee Street, Missoula, MT 59802, (406) 728-0447
A gorgeous contemporary art collection in a 100 year old building downtown. Super worth a visit.
Blue Mountain Trail Loop
Parking lot, Forest Hill Ln, Missoula, MT 59804
Some nearby and very easy trails, great for a daytime stroll or dog walk-- suitable for families :)
Waterworks Hill
Missoula, MT 59802
Big views, and fast. You can see all of Missoula from this trail on the northern edge of town, and it's a perfect medium-difficulty jaunt. We took our "engagement" photos up here!
Pattee Canyon Trailhead
Missoula, MT 59803
Slightly further from the center of town (you'll need a car to get to the trailhead), but a choose-your-own-adventure of forested areas, sunny hill-saddles, and again, bigtime views. Moderate difficulty; uphill, but don't need to be a super serious hiker.
