In places where there are no restrictions on the use of local parks, trails and open spaces, we encourage all users to follow these recommendations: A statement from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recommends the following: UPDATE 3.27.20-Local parks, trails and open spaces remain open in Montana during the state's shelter-in-place order, which will begin at 12:01am on Saturday, March 28th and end April 10th. While you'll have to make a little extra effort to keep your distance on popular routes like our Riverfront Trail, spots like Blue Mountain Recreation Area and Pattee Canyon offer more room to explore responsibly.

But you don't have to forgo fresh air altogether, just makes sure to maintain a minimum of 6 feet away from others at all times. If you're an outdoor enthusiast-and let's face it, you probably are if you're in Missoula-then staying indoors can be downright painful. Here are some ways you can continue to experience these magical pieces of Missoula while practicing safe social distancing and doing your part to flatten the curve. Whether you are a local yourself, or simply in the area at the moment, you're probably wondering about the best ways to enjoy our incredible town and support local business while staying safe and responsible. While we practice physical social distancing, we are also coming together in more ways than one. This is more than a Montana mountain town with great food and a lot of rivers-this is a place of community, nature, opportunity, and a deep appreciation for all things local. And while these times can bring uncertainty and anxiety, they also remind us why we love Missoula so much. Residents hunker down in their homes as much as possible, and local businesses ramp up sanitization and safety procedures while cutting back on nonessential services to do their part. The city of Missoula has grown quiet as folks adjust their daily lives to stay healthy and limit the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Current travel updates can be found here. We are doing our best to follow new developments in our state and keep the information in this blog accurate, useful and up-to-date.
