So, which two towns made the "cool" list?
Two Montana Towns Shine on ‘Coolest in America’ List
Out of 24 cities, two in Montana were included on the list of America's coolest cities.
Coming in at #22 on the list is Cooke City. A tiny town with a population of less than 200 in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Cooke City is a haven for backcountry skiers and snowmobilers. Rugged, remote, and beautifully wild. It’s everything a Montana town should be.
Even higher on the list, at #4, is Missoula, affectionately called “Zoo Town” by locals. Missoula is home to the University of Montana. With its riverfront views, craft breweries, and outdoor recreation, it’s no surprise Missoula landed a top spot.
