Montana
Fall in Montana is hands down, amazing.
Every week day, we ask Montanan’s a question and like good participants, they respond with some of the best answers. Some sarcastic, but for the most part, the answers are super helpful.
Montanan’s love an abundant of things about their state, but I found the top 5 answers and couldn’t agree more!
Here are the Top 5 Things Montanan’s Love About Fall
Leaves changing throughout the mountains. This is such an incredible site. Especially when driving to Livingston, heading through the pass, it’s hard to focus as you are surrounded by some of the most beautiful views. Your eyes have a hard time not starring in awe of all of the red and orange leaves surrounding you. It’s beautiful to put it mildly.
Football, football, and more football. Our MSU Bobcats are about to kick off the season and that alone makes me think fall is closer than it may seem. Let’s get ready to cheer on our Cats this Saturday!
Pumpkin everything. Now you either love pumpkin spice season or you hate it. I personally love it, but I can see how some people are over it. I mean do we need pumpkin spice toothpaste? No. But once pumpkin spice flavors hit the shelves, we know the leaves are going to start changing.
Bonfires and blankets. There is nothing better than sitting in a circle with a group of your favorite people, listening to the bonfire pop as one log burns down and you look to add another. Making memories, singing along to the music in the background, and telling that one friend we all have, that they don’t need to be that close to the fire and “no we don’t need more wood”.
Fall harvest. The smell of finishing up your crops, the dew on the leaves in the early morning hours, and knowing that you have accomplished another successful farming season is not only an incredible smell, but also an incredible feeling. The smell of the combine pushing through field after field is a smell that brings me home.
Fall is just around the corner and I think I am ready for it, especially after all of these feel good reminders about why it is so perfect.

MISSOULA, Mont. — A California woman who tried to smuggle her husband into the United States through northwest Montana has been sentenced to six months of probation, according to U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme.
Tracy Routh Lautenslager, 54, pleaded guilty in August 2025 to conspiracy to bring an alien into the United States at a location other than a designated port of entry. U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen presided over the case.
Court documents allege Lautenslager entered the U.S. through the Roosville Port of Entry on April 1, 2025, then drove to the Swisher Lake area near Lake Koocanusa. Border Patrol agents later learned a man had crossed the border on foot nearby. Canadian authorities eventually apprehended the man, identified as Lautenslager’s husband, a citizen of Great Britain with no legal status in the U.S.
Investigators say Lautenslager admitted the couple planned to avoid the port of entry by having her husband cross illegally while she drove into the U.S. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Katy Stack and investigated by the U.S. Border Patrol as part of Operation Take Back America.

Move over Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana is coming.
The “Flowers” singer is revisiting her Disney Channel roots, donning the signature blonde look of the fictional popstar ahead of the sitcom’s 20th anniversary in March.
At the Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival on Jan. 3, Cyrus confirmed she is involved with plans for the milestone date.
“Absolutely. We’re working hard on them,” she told Variety.
While she said she couldn’t say more about what’s in store for fans, Cyrus pointed to her blonde hairstyle, adding, “You see the bangs.”
Cyrus starred in the series alongside Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso and father Billy Ray Cyrus, between March 2006 and January 2011, and starred in the 2009 feature film “Hannah Montana: The Movie.” Under the Hannah Montana persona, she also released multiple platinum-selling soundtracks and headlined the Best of Both Worlds Tour, which grossed over $54 million.
What’s happening for the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary?
The Grammy-winning musician first teased plans for the anniversary in a July 22 interview on SiriusXM.
“I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this,” she said. “Without Hannah, there wouldn’t really be this me.”
“It’s crazy to think that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed, and now that’s something that when I walk into a space, it’s looked at as this sense of kind of, like, nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood,” she added. “So, that’s exciting to get to celebrate that.”
Will there be a Hannah Montana tour in 2026?
Cyrus has not announced plans to tour as “Hannah Montana” for the show’s 20th anniversary.
While exact anniversary plans remain under wraps, a tour seems unlikely, as Cyrus has previously expressed a lack of interest in touring.
During a May 2023 interview with British Vogue, the “Something Beautiful” singer added that while she enjoys performing for her friends, noting that “singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love.”
