Filmed by Good Morning America a few years back as one of the top 10 ice cream shops in the country. Great pic-nic tables outside for kids & families. No inside eating at this location. There's a second location by the mall with inside seating, but not the same order at the counter experience.

A locals favorite for food & drink. Right in downtown and by Caras Park where you can often find a market, festival or show taking place and you can watch the river surfers and kayakers on the Clark Fork River from the observation deck overlooking Brennan's Wave.

Beautiful area for a walk or a swim in the river. In the mid to late summer, the river can get pretty low, but is grate for kids wading and exploring. Across the Blue Mountain Road you can access an 18 hole frisbee golf course. The course is pretty hilly so be prepared for that.

Kids and Adults will love the Missoula Carousel. Each horse was carved and painted by the local community and holds a wonderful story. Grab the golden ring for a free ride and kids will enjoy playing at the Dragon's Hollow play structure right next door!

Take a day trip to a historic ghost town. This place is very well maintained and a very place to visit. You'll drive along the beautiful blackfoot river on your way and are bound to see several people flyfishing or floating the river. There is a small fee when you arrive and be sure to gas up in Bonner.

This is a great hike to a knob overlooking the city. The trailhead is only about 5-10 minutes from our house. It's a 3.6 mile loop trail that is moderately challenging due to the climb from the trailhead to the top of the nob overlooking the city.
