Mission Valley

The Mission Valley runs north along Highway 93 between Missoula and Flathead Lake, framed by the dramatic Mission Mountains to the east and rolling hills to the west. This is big, open country with a mix of agricultural land, lakeside properties near Polson, and small-town residential neighborhoods throughout. Winters here are serious — cold temperatures and steady wind exposure across the valley floor mean heating systems work hard from fall through spring. Many homes in the Mission Valley rely on wood stoves, fireplaces, or a combination of wood and propane heat. Regular chimney maintenance keeps those systems burning safely and efficiently, which matters when you're counting on them to get through a Montana winter.‍
