Yesterday, I was finally able to do something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time.

I got to visit the Evelyn Cameron Gallery of her pioneer photography in Terry, Montana.

Never heard of her? That’s OK–most people haven’t, even though she is in the Cowgirl Hall of Fame and was the subject of a 2005 PBS documentary. (more…)

The town of Terry, Montana has been abuzz lately with the report that a new eatery, Badlands Café and Scoop Shoppe, will be opening soon! Arline and Inger Koppenhaver, a mother/daughter-in-law team, have recently purchased a restaurant located in the central business district of Terry, Montana. (more…)

We first visited Staggering Ox in Helena, where they have an unbelievable flagship eatery, complete with acres of kitsch, an art museum full of some of the least likely “art,” and a staff that just can’t be beat… they also have great food, but once you’re there, it hardly seems like the point. We loved the food, so we decided to focus on it more specifically this time around.

Big Sky Resort is already famous as one of the best skiing destinations in the nation. Its high peaks, long runs and vast diversity in types of runs available – designed to satisfy the first-timer, die-hard slope junky, and everyone in between – but once you get off the shushing slopes, you’re going to be hungry, and that’s where Big Sky really veers away from its rivals.

Feed your love! February’s Festa Regionale menu at Il Fornaio highlights the Italian region of Marche for a special Valentine’s outing, exquisitely pairing the cuisine of the mountains with that of the sea. The cooks in the mountainous region of Marche specialize in hearty meat dishes such as lamb and pork, while the coastal inhabitants take advantage of the abundant finfish and shellfish.

If you’ve never been to Canlis, let us point out that every occasion there is a celebration. Maybe it’s a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon or Thursday – whatever it is will become a celebration. It’s easy to know this for certain because Canlis is the single best restaurant in the city, even according to my friends with most discriminating tastes.

Easily the single best experience we had in all of our many Montana adventures was the evening we spent just east of Billings in the fine company of Pappy and his family at the Western Romance Company Cowboy Dinner. It’s a horse-drawn wagon ride, an evening of authentic cowboy cooking, and fellowship with the single best people we met on the whole of our trip to Montana.

A decades-old fixture of Helena, the Staggering Ox was recently voted by MAXIM Magazine* as creating one of the top 3 sandwiches in the country (for “The Nuke”.) Our little stop off proved more to us than that they know their way around the kitchen. We found they know the way around the whole experience of people dropping by for food, fun and an array of stimu-tainment ranging from musical to visual with many stops in between.
