St. Joseph's Cemetery is in Ravalli County, Montana located in the Bitterroot Valley, south of Missoula.

St. Joseph's Cemetery is rather small and is approximately 1/3 acres in size. Do not be fooled by its size, as it is one of the more interesting cemeteries to visit. Towering old grave stones weathered with the passage of time stand witness to the past and for those that pioneered this area.

The cemetery is surrounded by a rail fence with native grasses that are kept nicely mowed. There are beautiful mountain vistas in the foreground and Montana's Big Sky.
