The Bitterroot Valley is filled with natural beauty.
Whether you’re after peaceful nature time or high-energy adventure, the Bitterroot Valley delivers beautiful scenery and endless ways to explore.
The Bitterroot Valley is a playground for outdoors lovers year-round. One of the most popular activities is fly fishing on the Bitterroot River — anglers cast for trout amidst scenic cottonwoods and mountain backdrops. The river’s calm runs and spring creeks make it ideal for both beginners and seasoned fishers.
Surrounding the valley, the Bitterroot Mountains and Bitterroot National Forest offer endless hiking and backpacking options. Trails like those around Blodgett Canyon or in the Blue Joint area bring you through forests, over ridges, and to alpine lakes. In summer and fall, these paths are perfect for wildflower walks, wildlife spotting, and sunset views.
For those who love wheels and trails, mountain biking and off-road routes weave through varied terrain — from gentle valley paths to rugged forest roads. When the snow falls, the Bitterroot becomes a quieter but still active place with snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and cozy campfires at forest campgrounds.
Missoula County
Standing in the Missoula Valley, you can practically feel the energy of a community that refuses to be sidelined by its rugged surroundings. It is a geographic powerhouse — a sprawling basin where five mountain ranges converge and three rivers, including the legendary Clark Fork, meet in a collision of natural force and Montana grit.
The iconic “M” on Mount Sentinel stands as a silent witness to a valley that is as much an intellectual hub as it is an outdoor paradise. But make no mistake: the geography here is the real story. This was once the floor of the prehistoric Glacial Lake Missoula, and you can still see the high-water marks etched into the hillsides—scars of a geological past that shaped the very ground we’re standing on. From the bustling heart of downtown Missoula to the quiet reaches of the Rattlesnake Wilderness, this valley isn’t just a place on a map; it is a vibrant, defiant testament to the spirit of the New West.
Testimonials to TouchPoint Properties and our real estate agents
3/12/2020Judy Porter has been our realtor in both the selling and buying of properties.
Her knowledge, professionalism, and caring personality are outstanding.
Judy tends to go far beyond what we’ve experienced with other realtors. She made sure that we had all the information needed going into each transaction, including any problems that could possibly arise, future possibilities, and current conditions.
We are so fortunate to have Judy Porter as our realtor. We highly recommend her.

Judy is an absolute ace at her craft, a true professional, and a genuinely very nice person.
In 40+ years of buying and selling property, we never have encountered a professional agent or broker relationship that has been
- so attentive
- so focused on making sure all requirements are attended to
- so responsive
- and so kind and polite throughout.
Judy Porter and Touchpoint Properties’ testimonials are more than well deserved.
In a very active market and after several properties reviewed, Judy found us a significant land parcel in the Bitterroot Valley that was well placed, well priced, and met our criteria. She went well beyond requirements in supporting inspection, septic and water requirements, property line confirmations, and the like. Her support in sourcing/finding, contracting, completing diligence, closing and beyond have been the best ever experienced.
Thank you, Judy

Judy is incredibly knowledgable and went above and beyond to ensure all expectations were clear. She educated us in our first home buying experience and made the process easy even with all the moving parts to coordinate!
Judy counseled us to ask the right questions at the right time so that we understood what our circumstances were in a transparent and trustworthy manner. As two young adults working full time this quality was worth its weight in gold!
We can’t recommend her enough. Thanks Judy!

Thanks Judy.
You have made a stressful experience more positive with your expertise, and informative updates, and patience with us.

My wife and I recently moved to Montana from our home in Oregon.
We had the good fortune to have had the help of Judy Porter.
Having sold and purchased three homes in the last 9 months, we’ve worked with a lot of Realtors. Judy is exceptional. For an out-of-state buyer, her knowledge and assistance were invaluable. She spent an incredible amount of time with us, in person, on the phone and online, and we always knew what was going on.
Judy listens to her clients and cares about them, helping us get through potential deal killers with patience and good advice. Setting up inspections, being in the houses during the inspections, she kept us from making one big mistake, and succeeded in helping us find and buy a great property and a wonderful house in a great location.
Judy is the Realtor everyone needs: she is intelligent, experienced, honest and ethical. If she says she’s going to do it, she does it. She pays attention to detail. While busy and successful, she’s also available and always returns calls. Her hard work and determination are hard to find in today’s world. She does a great job.

I utilized Judy Porter for the sale of my elderly parents’ two farm properties over the course of two years. Their financial and legal affairs were complicated and disorganized, as they historically relied on the handshake method of doing business.
Judy pointed out the myriad hidden pitfalls, advised me of my options, referred me to legal counsel as needed to resolve an impossible right-to first-refusal situation, and pointed out estate tax matters to be referred to the appropriate tax experts. She even guided me to other experts for valuation of the estate’s personal property, and she handled it all with kindness, grace, endless patience, and a sense of humor.
I owe my sanity to Judy. Without her expertise and professionalism, the stress of my newly-inherited trustee duties would have been unbearable. Judy went far above and beyond what would be expected of any realtor, and she never once wavered from her personal and professional code of ethics.
Judy Porter is simply the best!
