It is spring in Missoula, and not just according to the calendar. Missoula is warming up and things are really starting to turn green. To go with the season, we've put together a list of things you'll see only in Missoula in the spring. #OnlyInMissoula

1. Missoulians breaking out shorts and tank tops just a little bit too early

2. Tropic temperatures sending Missoulians to the river to cool off

Spring really does wonders on Missoula colors around town. Most notably? A bright green Mount Sentinel over Missoula.

7. Lilacs! Missoula is the Garden City of Montana and there are lilacs everywhere.
