Montana is largely rural, and like largely rural states, it is pretty friendly to most who care to be friendly back. When you’re traveling the back roads, particularly the gravel roads, you’ll encounter a variety of waves from passing pickups and motorists.
The most common is the one finger wave, accomplished by simply raising the first finger (not the middle finger as is common in urban areas) from the steering wheel. If the driver is otherwise occupied with his hands or if it is a fairly rough road, you may get a light head nod. Occasionally you may get a two finger wave which often appears as a modified peace sign if the passerby is having a particularly good day. On rare occasions, you may get an all out wave.
The most important things is that whatever wave you get, be sure and wave back.
