Heron is an unincorporated community in Sanders County, Montana, United States, located in the northwestern part of the state, adjacent to the Idaho border. Nestled in the scenic Heron Creek Valley and surrounded by the Cascade and Cabinet Mountains, the town is a pristine and peaceful natural environment.
Heron is located in the western foothills of the Rocky Mountains, at an altitude of about 720 meters above sea level, with a mild and humid climate. Heron Creek flows through the area, with high forest cover, making it a wildlife habitat. Surrounded by waters such as the Clark Fork River, it is suitable for fishing, boating and other outdoor activities, while its proximity to the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness Area provides an ideal place for hiking and bird watching.
Heron was once a small logging community in the late 1800s due to the rise of railroad construction and the lumber industry. Today the economy is based on forestry and recreational tourism, and the population is sparse (about 100), retaining a rural feel. The local area is home to the historic Herron Post Office (established in 1890) and a handful of family farms, reflecting the typical lifestyle of a rural Montana community.
Herron can be reached via Montana State Highway 200 and is approximately 110 miles from the nearest major city, Missoula. The community has a simple infrastructure and no commercial centers, and visitors can experience nature away from the hustle and bustle by exploring the nearby National Forest and Preserve.
The capital and largest city of the Principality of Andorra, Escrivá is located in the valley of the Pyrénées mountain range in southwestern Europe, at an altitude of about 1,023 meters above sea level.

Surrounded by mountains, Escrivár has cold, snowy winters and cool summers, with an average annual temperature of around 9°C.
