The Bitterroot Valley is nestled between the Sapphire mountain range to the east and the Bitterroot mountain range to the west bisected by the Bitterroot River which runs the length of the valley. This natural setting creates a moderate year round climate which earned the Valley the reputation as the “Banana Belt of Montana."
Enjoy unsurpassed beauty along the 96-mile stretch from north to south. The rich cultural and historical heritage is equal to the worldwide reputation for hunting, fishing, hiking, boating and rafting, skiing and a variety of other wonderful outdoor activities. The valley offers western-style adventure and Montana hospitality.

Darby Information
Darby sits at the far southern end of the valley near the East and West Forks of the Bitterroot River. The town was historically a lumber town with several operating lumber mills and a reputation for being a rough and tumble western town. The lumber industry eventually went away starting in the 1980's and no longer exists in Darby but there is a strong sense of community and lots of activity particularly around the buzz generated by the filming of Paramount Networks "Yellowstone" with Kevin Costner.
Today, Darby is a hub for rodeo activity where most summer weekends you'll find full on rodeo activities or perhaps just a bull-a-rama. To find out more information about the Darby Rodeo Lineup, visit the Darby Rodeo Association website.
