Maybe it’s because Season 8 of The Walking Dead starts later this month, or perhaps it’s because Halloween is approaching… but lately, we can’t help but wonder where we Montanans would go in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
Considering the Treasure State is full of perfect hiding spots, we’d have quite an advantage over many other states. So, if the impossible should ever happen, these are a few places you can go to wait out the disaster.
- The Bob Marshall Wilderness Area
Len Hardy / Flickr There are all kinds of nooks and crannies in the Bob Marshall Wilderness no zombie would ever discover. In fact, this is where you’ll find the most remote part of Montana, and that’s saying a lot.
- Lewis and Clark Caverns
Troy Smith / Flickr You may want to dim the electric lights or turn them off entirely, but if you climb deep into this cavern, no one (living or dead) will find you.
- Kintla Lake
Troy Smith / Flickr This is such a remote part of Glacier National Park that the zombies would starve long before they ever reached you.
- Ross Creek Giant Cedars Recreational Area
Troy Smith / Flickr Find this giant group of trees near Libby. Walk deep into the forest. Survive the zombie apocalypse.
- The Rocky Mountains
Suz / Flickr According to a 2015 study, the Rocky Mountains may be the ultimate hiding place to avoid becoming the “walking dead.” We’re not sure who would fund such a study, but the researchers might have a point.
- Polebridge
Jonathan Coffey / Flickr Who wouldn’t want to hide in this tiny community (which doesn’t even have electricity) and survive on huckleberry bear claws while the zombies battled the rest of humanity?
- The Montana Vortex
htbyrn / TripAdvisor Since many of us can’t seem to get out of this place without getting dizzy and wanting to throw up, we have to assume it would have the same effect on zombies.
- Wild Horse Island
william.neuheisel / Flickr The bad news is, if the zombies find a boat, you’d be out of luck. The good news is they probably wouldn’t bother.
- Bear Trap Canyon
Matthew Wilson / alltrails.com Bear Trap Canyon is a 15 mile trail located near Norris… but you probably didn’t know that, because it’s insanely remote and zombie-proof.
- Saco

Good news: There probably won’t be a zombie apocalypse in Montana anytime soon. Bad news: There are, however, plenty of creepy haunted places.
