Outdoorsman’s Page
We get to meet a lot of people who are visiting because of the University of Montana sports and events, but there’s a lot more to this area than collegiate athletics. This part of the country is known for its wide range of outdoor activities—it’s often been called a sportsman’s paradise because of the abundant fishing, hiking, biking, skiing and more. The Campus Inn is in the ideal location between several major state and national parks. What you may not know is that the Missoula area also has a vibrant art and culture scene and any trip to western Montana wouldn’t be complete without exploring some of the galleries, museums and theatre. Be sure to check our own events calendar when planning your visit to stay up-to-date on everything that’s going on in Missoula year-round.
