camping

Overall, camping has been on a steady decline across the U.S. for the last several years. Many Americans claim they simply don't have time for nature.

Within minutes of the Billings Morning News reporting that a Billings Boy Scout Troop had been robbed, individuals and businesses opened their wallets for an impromptu fundraising effort for Boy Scout Troop 10. The outpouring of support helped raise at least $1,200 to help replenish some of the troop's stolen camping gear. Boy Scout Troop 10 was preparing for their annual camping trip this week. 

When it comes to hiking trails, state and national parks, campgrounds or rock climbing, Montana can lay claim to having some of the best in the country -- literally.
