Montana

Montana's topography is marked by dramatic contrasts, offering a rich tapestry of landscapes. The state is divided into three main regions: the vast, rolling plains in the east, the rugged Rocky Mountains in the west, and the transition zone between these two. The eastern plains are part of the Great Plains, characterized by expansive grasslands, gently rolling hills, and wide river valleys, with minimal precipitation and semi-arid conditions. These plains are interrupted by isolated mountain ranges such as the Bear Paw and Little Rocky Mountains. The western part of the state is dominated by the Rocky Mountains, featuring steep, forested slopes, narrow valleys, and high peaks, including Granite Peak, which rises to 12,807 feet ((3,904 meters). Here, snow-covered mountains, active glaciers, and clear, cold lakes are common, particularly in areas like Glacier National Park. Between these extremes, the Central Front forms a transitional landscape with prairies, badlands, and smaller mountain ranges, bridging the plains and the mountains.
