The Bitterroot Valley Area of Montana is a great place for a second home!
The Bitterroot Valley is located in southwestern Montana in the northwestern United States. It extends over 100 miles (160 km) from remote Horse Creek Pass north to a point near the city of Missoula. To the west is the Bitterroot Range and the large Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area, and to the east is the smaller Sapphire Mountains and the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Area.
The southern end of the valley is split by the East and West Forks of the Bitterroot River, and the northern end drains into the Clark Fork River. Connecting with the west side of the valley are numerous deeply-carved granite canyons, including scenic Blodgett Canyon and the valley formed by Lolo Creek. Highway 93 runs through the center of the valley, exiting to the south over 7014 foot (2140 m) Lost Trail Pass. Communities within the valley include Lolo (in Missoula County), Florence, Stevensville, Victor, Hamilton, Darby, Conner, and Sula. Hamilton is the largest town and the county seat of Ravalli County.
