Our Favorite Stuffed Animals

Our Favorite Stuffed Animals

When I was a little girl, I had this little Snoopy stuffed animal that I would always carry around with me. From car seat to crib, I never got very far without my stuffed doggy. It had short, white  curly hair and pleather ears that I used to rub all of the time. In fact, I rubbed those ears so much that they eventually wore right off that stuffed puppy, much to the chagrin of my parents. But even with ratty ears, I loved that little stuffed puppy to pieces.

Sweet Huckleberry

Sweet Huckleberry

If you’ve had a huckleberry picked fresh from a mountain side, you know why huckleberry season holds a special place in every Montanan’s heart. You also know that if you’ve found a good stash you keep that to yourself. Earlier this summer, my roommates and I grabbed some buckets with high hopes of filling them up with the plumpest huckleberries we could find. We were not disappointed.

What is a Huckleberry? And other FAQ from Montana Gift Corral, the #1 seller of Huckleberry Gifts

What is a Huckleberry?

A huckleberry is a common name for small wild berries that sometimes look like blueberries. The word huckleberry appears to be an American word derived originally from “hurtle-berry,” a corruption of the Saxon heart-berg or “the hart’s berry.” 

Huckleberries range from deep red to purple in color. There’s a ton of range of taste, habitat and appearance because there are over 30 species in North America that people generally refer to as huckleberries. Out of the 7 species that occur in Montana, only two are commonly found in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem! To complicate things even further, many of these species classifications are in dispute. The Globe Huckleberry (Vaccinium globulare) and Mountain Huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum) are considered the same species by the USDA.

Explore the Beartooth Mountains

Explore the Beartooth Mountains

I feel like the Beartooth Mountains surpass all the silver and sapphires combined when talking about the most valuable things in the treasure state. The snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, high alpine lakes, and otherworldly plateaus make the Beartooths unlike any other place on Earth. Adventuring into these mountains isn’t an easy task, regardless of the season, which adds to their intrigue for hikers, climbers, skiers, and those that appreciate rugged landscapes. Beyond the striking physical terrain, the Beartooth Mountains have a compelling history worthy of exploration.
