Lisa and Dale's Wedding
Missoula, MT, USA, July, 2007
"Everything was perfect. The Holiday Inn Parkside was great to work with providing help with planning and set up including additional elements for table decorations, a flower cooler to keep our arrangements fresh, a sound system we could borrow and they rushed to set up new tables when extra guests showed up. I highly recommend the Holiday Inn for large events and weddings. We also worked with Cynthias Fine Flowers, Black Cat Bake Shop and Dawn Alicia Photography...all were great!"

Ceremony
Bess Reed Park
The park is beautiful, easy to find and a perfect setting for a wedding. I recommend visiting the site as close as you can to the wedding date to identify where the shade will fall on your day, especially in the summer. An hour before our wedding the guest seats were all in full, hot sun but by the start of the ceremony they were shaded by the big tree. Also, a microphone for the ceremony is essential since the hotel air conditioners make a lot of noise. If you can, have dinner outside! It was beautiful and we had to take our guest all inside to eat!

Pattee Canyon Trails
There are lots of trail options in Pattee Canyon for hiking or running.
Rattlesnake Area Trails
Head up the Rattlesnake for even more trail options!
Riverside Trail System
There are great walking trails along the Clark Fork River that take you through town. Stop and watch some kaykers at Brennan's Wave!
The "M" Trail
Great way to get a view of the valley! You'll find the trail head at the east end of campus behind the football stadium. It is steep but worth all of the effort!
