About three miles from downtown, the Best Western Plus Grant Creek Inn, Missoula, Montana, is a recently renovated base for western Montana, with comfortable, spacious rooms featuring free Wi-Fi, a microwave, refrigerator, and desk, a complimentary full breakfast, and mountain and valley views. Missoula is a great mid-way stop over between Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks.
The setting puts a smokejumper visitor center, a hand-carved carousel, golf courses, and a ski area close by, with a trout stream, a ghost town, and a national park within a scenic drive. The university sits a few miles away. Missoula is the arts and culture capital of Montana, with frequent live music, art museums and great dining and shopping.
Missoula spreads across a broad valley where five mountain ranges and three rivers meet in western Montana, a lively college town known as the Garden City. Smokejumpers train at a national base in town, the Clark Fork River runs right through downtown where surfers surf a river wave, and the trout water of Rock Creek, the gold-rush ruins of Garnet Ghost Town, and the peaks of Glacier National Park all lie within a scenic drive.
