Why Great Falls Is A Must-Visit Spot In Montana

Oh how I love when the towns in Montana win awards. Especially when those towns are one close to my heart, like Great Falls.

The Sunset Travel Awards Have Been Announced For 2025

Montana is a winner in many categories that you can check out here. If I wasn't so worried about more people coming in and ruining the state, it would be super cool to see our state repped like this. But, it is being ruined, so I'm downgrading this to cool from super cool.

Great Falls, Montana Tops A List From Sunset Travel in 2025

When I saw our pretty little river town featured in such a way, I just had to share it with you. There are only 3 mentioned in every category, and the competition is pretty stiff.

Great Falls was right in the middle of their list of Where To Go: Top Small Towns. Of course it was. Great Falls rules when it comes to small towns. I love so many things, and it looks like Sunset Travel does to.

What Does Sunset Travel Have To Say About Great Falls, Montana?

Sunset Travel describes Great Falls like this:

Framed by mountain ranges and carved by the Missouri River, this true postcard of Big Sky is where outdoor adventure, rich history, and local art converge in Montana. With 53 miles of scenic trails, world-class recreation, and cultural institutions like the CM Russell Museum,  it’s an under-the-radar destination with small-town charm that stands proudly between Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks

In fact, we've spoken of Great Falls being the perfect in-between-national-parks Montana stay over destination.

What Other Towns Made The Sunset Travel List Of Top Small Towns?

Great Falls is in some noteworthy company. Also on the Top Small Town List:

• Caramel-By-The-Sea, California: (Not to be confused with Bandon by the Sea in Oregon.) Sunset Travel describes it as "the perfect place to unwind."
• Medford, Oregon: Medford is loaded with wine and beauty. Sunset Travel describes it as "active travel with a glass of wine."
