Dillon is a compact, friendly college town (home to the University of Montana Western) tucked into wide mountain valleys—an easy, low‑stress base for multi‑week travel therapists with quick access to fishing, hiking, local cafes and a tight‑knit community vibe.
History and outdoor options are minutes away at Bannack State Park, a well‑preserved ghost town with trails and camping, and larger shopping/hospital services in Butte (about 64 miles north) make longer weekends or errands straightforward.
