These 9 Iconic Destinations Are A Drive Away From Missoula

Love Exploring published an article highlighting the world's top 104 most beautiful places.

I'm not sure why they settled on 104, but it makes for some epic online scrolling. Australia, Japan, Italy, Croatia, China, the U.S.A and plenty of other countries are all featured on this epic list.

Surprisingly, Montana did not make the list. I thought for sure Glacier National Park would make the list, but Love Exploring left us off.

If you are looking for road trip ideas this summer, I put together the 9 closest locations on the list to Missoula.
