Carousel for Missoula

Missoula is a great place to live.  It's the kind of place that you don't realize is so wonderful until you live somewhere else and find yourself missing everything about Missoula.  (Except for the long winters.. I don't think I will ever miss those, regardless of where we live.)

One of Missoula's mostest awesomest places to go is the carousel.  I've never been to a prettier carousel.. the one at Disneyland was like limp noodles to Missoula's carousel steak.  In other words, it's good.

This summer both the kids have learned to ride bikes, and we happen to live the perfect distance away from the carousel for a bike ride there.  This particular morning was Saturday, and we rode along the river to the Farmers Market, shared a Rhubarb Lemonade and a bag of cucumbers, and then rode further down the river where some guys were surfing. (I know!!??)  I have an instagram photo of it somewhere.. Anyhow, it's a really great bike ride, you wind through downtown on a trail that overlooks the river and you hit the University, Farmers Market, downtown, Carousel, Dragon Hollow (most awesome playground ever), Childrens Museum..  more, more, more.  We love it.

 

 

 

 

Is this gal not the prettiest horse you've seen? 

When Dustin and I first started dating, he picked me up from work one day (lifeguard at YMCA) for a "surprise."  He took me here and I thought "oh, how sweet."  Then the ride started and I about fell off.  It goes fast!  Mary Poppins would totally approve.

Planning a trip to Utah (provo / orem) area before school starts.  I know a lot of good things to do there, but do any of you locals have awesome secret hidden spots we should hit?

Its true, you don't know how wonderful Missoula is until you move! The carousel defiantly holds a special place in my heart. Even my husband realized how super di duper awesome and fast it is. Oh how do I wish to go Out to Lunch again! :)

Provo/Orem are my old stomping grounds! Catch me before you go, and I'll see what places you do an do not know about, and more on what you're looking for. You should bike the provo river trail (if you have access to bikes at all) up provo canyon. I used to do that all the time, and it is gorgeous AND nice and paved and kid friendly.

I am from the Orem area. What kind of things are you looking for? There is the Provo beach resort in the river woods mall in Provo. They have indoor surfing, A small carousel,climbing,golfing,and a bunch of other activities great for families. The hiking is always wonderful. I also enjoy the salt lake city farmers market in Liberty park open every Saturday morning. They have all sorts of awesome food and crafty stuff too. Maybe I will be lucky enough to run into you one day.

Oh, how your post makes me miss Missoula! I was born there and get to go back every once in a while to visit all my Foust relatives. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, it was wonderful!

I grew up there, so it's in my heart but joco is my home now. We're all the same, or I wish we'd all see it that way. I fly my Mizzou flag proudly so don't you worry about that.

Sandi, Thanks for the wonderful tips about the carousel. I went up to visit friends and we had lunch on the Green and then went to visit the Carousel on Wednesday. I also had a chance to visit the Selvage fabric store as well.
I loved driving and walking the downtown college area and seeing the sweet fawns. What a beautiful city! I enjoyed the hometown feel. Thanks again for sharing your city.
