Now that it's tourist season in Montana, millions of folks will be coming to Big Sky Country to enjoy all that we have to offer.

They will buy Montana-themed t-shirts, things with huckleberries in them, cowboy hats, and all of the other things they think "locals" are into. While it's pretty easy to spot them amongst the crowds, many Montanans consider them a necessary evil. However, I welcome them and their money. Tourists spend billions of dollars each year, plus they provide endless hours of entertainment.

Now, you might be thinking, what type of entertainment do tourists provide?

Fair question. First, the novelty industry, which includes items such as coffee mugs and t-shirts, has generated millions with the "Don't Pet Fluffy Cows" marketing campaign. Second, the reviews. They're priceless.

Before we jump into some tourists' reviews, let's check out the most beautiful spots in Montana to see this summer.

Montana's 6 Most Beautiful Places

Living in Big Sky Country has its perks. From breathtaking scenery to world-class skiing and fly fishing, Montana has a lot to offer. Not only are we home to hundreds of lakes and rivers, but we also claim two of the most famous National Parks in the country. Although it should be noted that we didn't include any spots in Yellowstone because it covers multiple states. So, which places in Montana are the most beautiful? Here's our Top 6.

Travel Stamps released a list of some of the worst (or best) one-star reviews from folks visiting Yellowstone National Park. I wish I could tell you that they were made up, but...it looks like these are the real deal.

Here are a few of the comments folks had to say about YNP.

They don't even let you touch the geysers, and there are only black and grizzly bears. No panda, polar, or cave bears.

Sadly, that was only the beginning. It seems that the lack of wi-fi is concerning to many who visit the park.

Went to Yellowstone and there was no service and no way to update my Instagram. How are people supposed to know where I'm at?"

 

"I didn't see any bears. They should have bear shows bi-daily. You can't swim in the hot springs, and I couldn't check Facebook on my phone.

Then, of course, there are the wildlife encounters. We know each year, folks are injured by getting too close to those animals that call Yellowstone home.

Don't even get me started on the moose. Thought it was a friendly reindeer, and then it attacked me! Also, there were no 7/11 stores within an acceptable radius.

There were more, but I think you get the picture. So, yes, those are the folks that will be visiting Montana this summer. While it's scary to think some folks could be so naive, just remember, they spend a ton of money while they're here.
