Hey y'all!

We made a video 🎥 answering the most common questions we get about being a GUIDE or RENTING out your gear.

If you're curious about getting involved with us, give it a watch!

You can easily rent your outdoor gear on Adventure Montana or be an adventure guide!https://www.montanamadeeasy.com/guides-and-gear

A month ago, we were just a free online directory of adventures around Montana.

Today, you can rent paddleboards, kayaks 🚣, a raft, vehicles 🚙, and more on our website.

You can also book hikes with a guide, a day trip to Glacier 🌲 or the Rocky Mountain Front 🏔️, and even go shooting 🔫 or 4x4'ing.

We're growing fast and are looking for Montanans who want to start a side hustle doing what they love: playing outside in Montana!

If you want to rent out your gear 🚵‍♂️ or sell some exciting adventure you dream up, check us out and get in touch!

🌲 Do you like to hike?🌲
We mean hiking to any degree... even just a quick hike around one of our local Falls? If yes, please continue.

🤠 Do you like (or at least can tolerate) people? 🤠
We mean people who would be hiking with you and looking to you for answers about how to recreate in Montana. If yes, please continue.

💵 Do you like money? Muh-knee. 💵
We mean real US dollars in your bank account. If yes, please continue.

There are people visiting Great Falls that want to hike around our dams or in the Highwoods, Little Belts, or Rocky Mountain Front... but don't know the first thing about it. How to get the trailhead... bear spray... how to p**p in the wilderness, etc.

BUT YOU DO! And you can start a side hustle being a hiking guide (even just a hiking "buddy"). This does not have to be anything fancy or formal. These folks just want an authentic Montana experience and you can definitely provide that!

We're building an online marketplace like Airbnb but for your outdoor gear and Montana adventures and we'd LOVE for you to consider getting involved.

Message us on here or email us at [email protected] if you want to get involved!

The Rocky Mountain Front never disappoints. This is also our newest guided adventure!

The Middle Fork of the Judith River is out of this world!!! More than 20 creek crossings!

And this is our newest Guided Adventure!

10/03/2022

We just added our first guided adventure! It’s a 4x4 drive in one of our Jeeps to Big Baldy mountain in the Little Belts where you’ll do a short-ish hike to the peak. Then, we’ll end the night with an amazing dinner! Find this on the Gear and Guides page!

We love the “cool” vibe of … it makes Great Falls a better place to winter.

08/03/2022

We’ve got our first few pieces of rental gear listed on the website… if you’re wanting to add gear to rent or an adventure, let us know!

02/03/2022

Examples
— Let families come and play with your baby cows and goats
— Got a private fishing hole? Let ‘em fish
— Charge Instagrammers for access to your pink flowering field so they can get that like, totally dreamy pic to post

You might own property or some physical place that people would pay money to visit!

02/03/2022

Examples
— Take people on your favorite hikes and show them cool stuff
— Teach people how to hit a steel target at 500 yards with your rifle
— Teach an outdoor survival skill or class

People will pay you to experience the things you do all the time!

02/03/2022

Examples
— Folks would love to rent your kayaks or paddleboards
— Got a couple of old snowmobiles you wouldn’t mind renting out to people?
— Out of staters would love to use your camping gear for their Montana trip

Not everyone wants to buy or bring outdoor gear to try something once or twice… your unused gear can make you money!

💨 If the wind has blown you inside and you're looking something to do, check out our friends' (and Founder's Club members) Jordan and Megan Anderson's Youtube channel: The Perpetual Adventure Machine.

They've built a tiny home / trailer (which includes square footage for their business). They travel all over the US full-time. Also, their solar/electric setup is the craziest thing we've ever seen on a trailer.

Go check 'em out on YouTube! They're also on Adventure Montana as Jordanxmegan.

We're Jordan and Megan and we spent the summer of 2020 converting our 18 x 8.5 x 8 aluminum trailer into a home. We now travel the country with our two germa...

.photography described Kootenai Falls Suspension Bridge in the fall as looking “like a painting with golds and greens.”

Judging by her photos, we agree!

It’s not too late to trek to northwest Montana to do the walking bridge!

Search for it on Adventure Montana and get the deets!

You ever heard of Makoshika State Park? Kati Miller has.

Kati is also —let the record reflect— Adventure Montana's most prolific "adder of content."

She is a true adventurer.

Kati, thank you SO much for sharing your amazing photography and experiences with us; you're making Montana better!

Montana has the mountains,
California has the beaches,
Know what Utah has?

The absolute best donut we’ve ever had.

Oh my garsh Glazier’s Market in Kanab, UT: yours is the powdered donut of all the donuts.

This isn’t some fancy donut shop either; this was an hours old, nothing-fancy grocery store, unpretentious, self-serve donut cabinet.

Please try one and holler back y’all.

Also fun fact: US Highway 89 (which has an endpoint in Montana) drives all the way south to Arizona and is considered one of the best drives in the world. Totally worth it and please try a donut from Glazier’s when in Kanab.

204.

204 (and counting) adventures posted on Adventure Montana.

Why not celebrate at 200?

Because:
1. 204 Box Elder bugs have been removed from our office this Fall…

2. 204 hours spent scouting, researching, and writing up adventures this year…

3. 204 software bugs found and removed from our application in 2021…

4. We forgot to do it at 200.

We need you to get to 500!

Please, for the children, add your favorite Montana adventure, upload a photo or two, or leave a couple quick reviews for stuff you’ve done.

Love, the Adventure Montana team

Bear watching.

Wanna see seven grizzlies at once?

Search for “Tom Miner Basin” on our website (link in bio). And please take care of this place or it won’t be accessible for long.

Want to enjoy the outdoors like you hear about everyone else doing?

It takes two hours to find a simple, outdoor activity to do because the information online is so scattered.

At Adventure Montana, we got tired of wasting time searching for our next adventure so we built a website that allows you to find your next thing to do in minutes.

To become an adventurer, visit our website and choose your next adventure.

Visit our website at https://www.MontanaMadeEasy.com

When you go on your adventure, you’ll definitely enjoy it, but you’ll also have a place to share your adventures with others!

P.S. This photo is at Egg Mountain and is a FANTASTIC place to pull over and take an amazing picture with a view of the Rocky Mountain Front right behind you.
