Whitefish, Montana: Your Small Meeting Paradise

I know it is my backyard and all, so it’s possible I’m biased - but there is no better place to host a small meeting than Whitefish, Montana. To be fair, I am not the only one who thinks this, I do have backup - Recently, Maritz Travel (one of the country's leading corporate meeting planning groups) brought a group from LPL Financial to Whitefish for a 3-day conference. Their goal was to learn and connect through conference sessions coupled with authentic, outdoor Montana experiences. MNW Destinations partnered with

Part 2: Elevate your next Missoula event with local flavor

Earlier this summer I wrote a blog about Bozeman's foodie scene and how to apply it to your next Bozeman meeting. We work in a diverse region covering Western Montana, from Yellowstone to Glacier National Parks. Missoula is an excellent anchor point to host a meeting. Missoula, Montana has an incredible eclectic culture that provides unique experiences for evening events during a conference or meeting. Below are a few excellent suggestions for some distinctive Montana experiences! Photo: SakeTome, Missoula Taste of Missoula – Dine-Around Downtown I love

The Best Kept Secret – Yellowstone in the Fall

Yellowstone National Park is our country's oldest national park and one of the most popular. It has so much to offer, but do you know the best time to visit? Out of all the seasons, fall is the best time to make a trip to Yellowstone! Yellowstone is visited by an average of 4.1 million people every year with over half of those visiting between June and August. Once school starts and the summer vacation window is over, the number of visitors drastically decreases which means a much different

The Wright Family vs. The Smith River: a trip to remember

The massive limestone rock walls Montana’s Smith River carves through the landscape give you a real sense of the passage of time. This passage of time is written not only by how the sun travels more quickly over the narrow canyon walls than in most of Montana’s big sky, but also in how the very distinguished, often blazon, red layers pile upon each other. It is different than traveling to Rome, or even the east coast, where you feel insignificant in civilized history (especially coming from the west). It

Bringing Montana Flavors to your Evening Event – Part I: Bozeman

I recently attended a conference in Philadelphia where they had the welcome reception at the Reading Terminal Market. The Market was established in 1893 and has an incredible story of survival over the years through changes and expansion as the city of Philadelphia grew up around it. Inside, over 80 merchants offer everything from fresh baked doughnuts and cookies to authentic gyros or tabbouleh to four varieties of Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwiches, of course! For the welcome reception, conference attendees got to peruse the wonderous aisles and sample the signature

The Wright Family vs. The Smith River – Preparing for our First Montana Adventure of the Summer

I am not going to lie; I am nervous. Earlier this year, my husband had this grand idea of floating the Smith River. This requires entering for a special permit and hoping you get drawn. My husband arranged a huge group of people to put in for the Smith River permit and guess what, someone pulled it! We leave soon and it turns out I don’t know a soul going on this trip except my husband and our two kids…..and yes, we are the only ones going with kids.

Missoula 2.0

I call myself a native even though I wasn’t born in Missoula. I moved there when I was 6 days old. I think that still counts as native. I have left a few times; once for college, once to travel, once to try the big city. But I always found my way back (until a couple years ago when I permanently traded Missoula for the Flathead – just a couple hours north). If you were to ask me, Missoula has always been great. Surrounded by mountains with a couple

Meet Montana’s Agritourism Industry

Farm to table meals are becoming more popular as we all take more of an interest in where our food comes from and in eating fresher, healthier ingredients. Building on this concept is a new, unique form of tourism known as agritourism ̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶- an up and coming industry in Montana. Agritourism is currently defined by Montana House Bill 342 as a “form of commercial enterprise that links agricultural production or agricultural processing with tourism in order to attract visitors to a farm, ranch, or other agricultural business for purposes
