You’ve received lots of recommendations I’ll add my two cents. I lived in Billings for eight years and as someone mentioned, you can’t go wrong in the Mountain West. There are so many options, for me there are two deciding factors:
1. GRIZ – I have an irrational fear of being part of the food chain. The stories I read about hikers and hunters made me plan my excursions where the GRIZ weren’t supposed to be. With that being said, I loved the Crazies – give me Jeremiah Johnson, the Judith, and the Musselshell. A spectacular mountain range.
2. Plan your trip to catch the Aspen turning. With their bright yellow leaves, crystal blue skies and all the meadow grasses against the evergreens, I miss the west so – Sun rises are awe inspiring in high country.
Aspen turning and high country Montana equals the possibility of snow and the elk will be squealing. Two of the eight years I bow hunted the high country I experienced heavy snow – If you are going to the Bob – be aware that the wilderness can be unforgiving when mother nature flexes her muscle.

Is the small range south of Lewistown called the Little Snowy Mountains?
Been eyeing those on google maps.
