Destination overview

With wide open spaces, Montana lives up to its name of ‘Big Sky Country’.

Montana’s capital city, Helena, lies at the foothills of the rugged mountains, providing a spectacular backdrop for visitors. Originally founded as a camp during the Gold Rush, today Helena is a hive of history, adventure and culture. Learn more about its heritage at the range of museums, hike to the top of Mount Helena, take a walking tour or visit a Ghost Town.

Montana’s State Parks should be on every itinerary. With more than 50 to choose from, each offers their own unique experiences. Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park is home to one of the most spectacular limestone caves. Head to Montana's largest state park, Makoshika and walk the dinosaur trail where the fossils of Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops and more remain. See the ancient rock paintings that remain on the walls of The Pictograph, Middle and Ghost caves which generations of prehistoric hunters called home.
