Want land let us know? There are a number of creeks and ponds in the Bitterroot Valley we do not keep stats on either. It is difficult to evaluate and compare just front footage as it varies on size of acreage. The Bitter Root Valley climate is considered to be one the warmer areas in western Montana. The beautiful valley is protected from the west by the spectacular Bitterroot Mountains and National Forest that run along the Montana/ Idaho border. The lovely Sapphire Mountains to the east also provide water. Many smaller creeks and streams run from the two mountain ranges and add momentum to the clean free flowing Bitterrroot River. Several nice communities developed on or near the banks of the river. Hamilton is county seat for Ravalli county. Stevensville to the north and Darby to the south along with Corvallis, Victor and Florence are the larger towns. There are approximately 36,000 people on the main stretch of river which is over 40 miles long. Close to 80 miles in total are there to enjoy with the East and West Forks. The Bitterroot is a very user friendly river with lots of public fishing/ boating accesses. Rainbow, Brown and Westslope Cutthroat Trout as well as Whitefish are the primary attraction. The real estate market was very busy for some time. Lewis and Clark Expedition provided the first real information on the region.Of course, the natives were there far longer. With the assistance of the residents, they wrote a lot about the area in 1805 and 1806 The valley was beginning to develop way back in the 1880's when Marcus Daily, the successful finance man for mines in Butte and Anaconda planned the city of Hamilton . The first church in Montana was founded in Stevensville in 1841. The town is also supposed to be the oldest town in Montana.
