Promoting the best of the

Bitterroot Valley . . .

From River to Ridge© magazine is working hard to invite Montana travelers and out-of-state tourists to enjoy all that the Bitterroot Valley has to offer: great shopping, fantastic events, expansive outdoors and wonderful people.

A year-round, effective and affordably priced marketing program, From River to Ridge magazine is published in May, August and November. And is distributed in high traffi c locations in the Bitterroot Valley, hotels, motels, restaurants, professional offi ces, convenience stores and retail stores in Missoula, as well as along the I-90 corridor west to Coeur d’Alene and east to Butte. You won’t fi nd another advertising product promoting the Beautiful Bitterroot Valley, more readily available across western Montana — all year round. We will work with you to create advertising that entices readers to visit your store and participate in community events. You won’t fi nd square, “blocky”, newspaper style ads in this magazine. From River to Ridge invites you to tell your story with photos and editorial that makes readers say, “Sounds exciting - let’s shop the Bitterroot.”

From River to Ridge, now in it’s second year, asks you to keep the Bitterroot Valley marketing momentum going. Work with us to promote the Bitterroot Valley . . . “From River to Ridge” . . . in print, on the web, and in video.
