For those interested in facts and figures Montana is a state in the Pacific Northwest and Great Plains regions of the US. The state is the fourth largest in the union but the 44th in population and therefore has the third lowest population density in the US. This feeling of space is a definite attraction and the reason why so many visitors find a Montana bed and breakfast stay relaxing. Although Montana can no longer be described as the Wild West 
the animals still outnumber the people. Montana residents, many of whom run bed and breakfasts, treasure the solitude Montana's wilderness areas provide. The economy is based on agriculture and significant lumber and mineral extraction. But tourism is extremely important to the economy. Literally millions of visitors go to the Glacier National Park, the Battle of Little Bighorn site and the Yellowstone National Park every year. Many also go golfing in Montana. The central and western parts of the state have many mountain ranges which are sections of the northern Rocky Mountains. The town of Butte is the center of the area that once supplied half of all US copper. Grain fields cover most of Montana's plains in the east and huge herds of cattle graze on the prairies. Montana bed and breakfast visitors can see buffalo too and in the National Bison Range, on the Flathead Reservation, buffalo roam a 20,000-acre national wildlife refuge. Montana bed and breakfast stays are ideal for exploring Montana.
