Flow State 406 was born from the physical response a person gets when they arrive to this supernatural State. A State with a single area code “406” yet as the 4th largest State in America with over 147 thousand square miles. From the plains in the east to the mountains of the west, it never matters where or how you arrive, you will experience the Flow 406.

Flow State 406 is a term that I applied to what I felt each time I would travel home after being away. Having served in the military and also having family all around the country, travels away from Montana would happen on a regular basis. Whether traveling on Highway 20 on the way up from Ashton Idaho or coming up Lookout Pass on I-90 West, there was always our “Welcome to Montana” sign welcoming us back home. I felt the same sensation when flying home to the Gallatin Valley. 

What is this “feeling” you might ask? 

Is it the mental anticipation of arriving in our beloved Montana that comes first? Or is it the involuntary physical response of goosebumps or the desire to jump for joy? The mental anticipation that causes increased breathing and dilated pupils because of what you see and feel on your arrival to the “406”? 

I had never really given this much thought to my response to coming home. That is until I encountered people visiting Montana who would explain to me how they felt coming to Montana. Keep in mind, they aren’t from here. Also encountering people who had been coming to Montana to visit for years who would describe similar feelings when arriving here. 

There had to be a description of this feeling………Flow

Flow 406 takes the chaos out of life 

Flow 406 takes the intangible and brings it to your best Montana life

I am certain there are other state residents who have an undying love for their home state. But, does their home state create Flow?
