Malmstrom Air Force Base might have been one of the military’s best kept secrets for a while, but the trend to embrace all things Montana has taken over. Just watch a few episodes of HGTV’s "Living Big Sky," PBS’s hit, "Frontier House," and DIY’s "Living Off the Grid: Big Sky Ranch" and you’ll witness for yourself the lure of the breathtaking landscape and rugged lifestyle of Montana.
If this is your first PCS to the great state of Montana, take look at few things Malmstrom AFB and surrounding cities have to offer.

Sites to See Throughout the Seasons
The influence of the world famous expeditioners Lewis and Clark is felt throughout the state, but especially in Great Falls, the nearest city to Malmstrom. Residents and visitors can tour the Lewis and Clark National Historic Interpretive Center to educate themselves on some of America’s most important history.
Lewis and Clark wrote extensively about the stunning landscapes of the area, and those descriptions come alive in full color with trips to iconic National Parks such as Yellowstone, Glacier National, and Yosemite, which are within driving distance to make weekends and holidays an adventurer’s dream come true.
Mild summer weather makes taking advantage of all outdoor activities easy with temperatures ranging from the 60s to 80s. Winter, however, brings the expected large amounts of snow and temps in the 10s and 20s. These conditions bring with them their own set of winter activities to explore. There won’t be a shortage of snow sports to learn and enjoy!
