Anyone ever been to Missoula, Montana?

Thinking about taking a vacation up there in the fall, in my little bit of research it looks like a decent city with 4 breweries. Just wondering where would be a good place to stay or visit if I venture up there.

Went a couple times last summer. Fun little town. I'd say just drive another 3 hours north and hit glacier natl park tho or 3 south and go to yellowstone. Only times I went were for concerts though.

Great city to visit. I am actually visiting for the second time in Aug.

Check out Bozeman and Big Sky

Missoula is the more liberal, college, hippie, arguably more fun town.
Bozeman is the more scenic, more wealthy, more conservative town.

You really should take a day or two and visit Glacier National Park. Super pretty and well worth it. My father and I have backpacked through there and that was amazing. After we finished we did some sight seeing from a vehicle and that was equally as amazing. I would recommend at least 1 day here.

I've been for work. Really nice. But as others have said, go a little farther.

Come to Bozeman. You won't be disappointed.
Also, if you see a white Xterra with some LSU/Louisiana stickers on it, honk.

I'm here right now. I've lived here part time for 10 years. Fall is a great time here. Missoula just gets better every year. From my house, it's a 3 mile bike ride (or drive if you're lazy) to the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area--unreal place for being this close to a decent-sized University town. We ran 8 this am, along Rattlesnake Creek. Great music venues. The Top Hat is now a top-notch one, and the new owner bought the historic Wilma Theatre and is revamping it for even better music and festivals (Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, for e.g., is great).
I'd do VRBO or AirBNB for lodging. The hotels kind of suck. The Doubletree is right on the Clark Fork, but it's meh for the price.
THere aren't any really bad parts of town, but I'd stay in the rattlesnake or somewhere a little off the beaten path and just ride into town. My house is in the lower rattlesnake. I can walk downtown easily.
It isn't a tourist town at all, which is nice. Great fishing and great wilderness all around.
And re: Bozeman, I prefer Missoula, but you can't go wrong with Bozeman. IMO Glacier is nicer than Yellowstone, and I like our local ski hills around here. But neither of those is a factor in the fall.
Eta: Greg Allman played Monday nt, The Stones played a couple years ago--i could hear it from my yard. I've seen Willie Nelson and many other acts.

I can't give specifics as I haven't been. But some friends go to that Maggotfest Rugby Tournament up there and they absolutely love the place from the outdoorsy shite to the breweries and other bars.
