Western Montana Seasons

 Greater Montana GMAC Real Estate would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Western Montana and all that it has to offer to your clients. Our seasons have spectacular beauty, regardless of which one you choose…….. Spring time in the valley awakens with new life. Fragrant apple blossoms abound in the foothills and the Bitterroot River swells with melted snow and gentle rain. Wildlife abounds in the valley and everywhere you look, you can see newborns frolic in the green-carpeted meadows.Summer brings up to 16.5 hours of sunlight, and the days are long and warm. Evenings are always cool and make for good sleeping ….. Explore, enjoy and experience the many parks, rivers and lakes here in the valley.  Bears amble through huckleberry patches and deer browse the bushes. Some of the activities include hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, and horseback riding. For the more adventurous try our guided wilderness tours or rock climbing, if not, just kick back, relax and enjoy our many summer theater presentations.Fall stirs in cooler temperatures and ushers in the leaves of red and gold. Frosty mornings and snow-capped mountains, v-shaped formations of Canada Goose honking their way south. Tamaracks, aspen and cottonwoods splash golden patches amid the dark green pines and firs. Harvest time explodes with vivid reds and oranges, and apple trees are heavy with fruit. Deer, elk, and moose are in full antler, and are a sight to see.Winter wonderland is the best way to describe the valley this time of year. Bitterroot winters are usually mild, earning the valley the nickname ‘Banana Belt of Montana’. While snow seldom accumulates more than 6 inches on the valley floor, the annual average at Lost Trail Ski Resort is 300 inches of pristine powder, making this a paradise for skiers. Billions of stars, meteor showers and rare displays of Northern Lights, adorn the deep, black night skies.
