Idaho and Montana. Both states are in the northwestern part of the country. Both border Canada to the north, but Idaho barely. Apparently its Canadian border is less than 800 football fields long? Montana, meanwhile, is the only state to border three Canadian provinces. A lot longer.
Looking at a map, Idaho looks like a seat that Montana is sitting on but way too big for.
Both are two of the fastest growing states in the country, although Idaho more so. In fact, last year Idaho was the number one fastest growing state.
That said, both are sparsely populated. Montana is the third least densely populated state after Wyoming and Alaska. I mean, if you see a gas station in Montana, you probably better just go ahead and fill up your tank just to be safe, and cell service can still be spotty in many isolated areas there.
It’s easy to understand why so many people are moving to both Montana and Idaho. Both are beautiful places where you really still can get away from it all, and have some of the largest areas of wilderness left in the contiguous United States. And yeah, I predict more and more people will discover this in the coming years.
