It can be a hard base for people that are not used to smaller cities or having a place to visit quickly. Great Falls is the closest city, closest bigger city is 90 miles away and it is really not that big.
This is what I read about the area, seems that even though Great Falls lives very much off Malmstrom AFB, there might be a bit of animosity. I am not sure, to which extend this is true:
But, you will run into Montanan?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s that are hard fast, die hard, ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWe don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t want your kind here.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù Just keeping up with the ilk. Please read the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWe don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t want others in our area?¢‚Ǩ¬ù . We own Montana and don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t want other folks to experience this. Stay away. Get the hell out! Tell them
In Great Falls there is not much shopping if someone is used to a mall. We have a mall and it is getting better. But they do not have very many big name stores. There is a Target, Walmart, Shopko, and Kmart as well,there is a Sams Club. In town there are a lot of parks that you can take the kids to or just walk around. Plus you can walk along the rivers edge trail that goes all through town. It is a great place to go walking, biking, or running. If you like art there are lots of art gallaries and museams. And if you like the outdoors you are about 30 minutes from the mountains. And in the winter there are two ski resorts close by.
Pet Boarding:
Big Sky Animal Med Center is nice, but more pricey than some. They are close to outside of back gate?¢‚Ǩ¬¶their # is 406-761-8387. There is also Weona Kennel right outside front gate. Kind of a shabby place, but the lady who owns it and takes care of the animals is really sweet and good to the animals. Their # is 406-453-4946. We had good experiences with both.
