Granite County, Montana

Granite Location Map Montana

In the heart of western Montana, Granite County lives up to its name with rugged mountains and a history as solid as the rock it’s built on. Philipsburg is the county seat and it’s colorful, quirky, and packed with character.

The Flint Creek Valley is a sight to behold, especially when the fall colors kick in. Sapphires are a big deal here. You can even try your hand at mining for these precious stones. Visitors flock to the area for world-class fishing, hunting, and hiking.

Ranching remains a way of life for many locals, who are as tough and enduring as the land they work. It’s the kind of place where you can lose yourself in nature and find yourself in conversation with a stranger at the local diner.
