Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3957312, member: 5787"] It definitely is, at least within the super rich of Fairfield County. A few families at my school have owned property in the Big Sky area for close to a decade now and it's getting cheaper and easier to fly direct to Bozeman from NYC. A co-worker of mine took her spring break trip to Bozeman and her flight was $240, insane as back when my in-laws were in Montana, I've never paid less than $600 to fly into Billings. On that note, I nominate Butte, MT. Others posted about Missoula, Bozeman, Whitefish, but while these towns/cities might not be super well known, I wouldn't rate them as underrated. Butte has historically been considered the black sheep city amongst Montanans once the copper boom ended. For decades it was depressed, drug-infested, just sad, but thankfully, its beautiful uptown remained mostly in tact and its experiencing quite a revitalization. Its uptown is the 2nd largest National Historic District in the country (New Orleans is #1) and daring small business owners have really done a nice job cleaning it up. Had one of the best meals of my life at the Uptown Cafe, five courses for $30. It's also a great location, less than 100 miles from Missoula, Helena (another underrated city) and Bozeman, so it's less of an "island" than other Montana locations. [/QUOTE]
