In defense of Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota, I say "Thank Providence there are not more. There are far too many Californians settling in the Rocky mountains and bringing their culture. The same goes for Nebraska because I would still like to move to Dawes County.
There sure are a lot of Californians settling in Montana, and many Montanans resent it. Just recently, the total population of the state crossed the million people mark!
As for tourism, there is a lot to see here, and every part of the state, IMO, is a photographers dream.
