Want to Look Like a Cowboy?

Hey you're in the West, look the part, cowboy or cowgirl. If you're in Great Falls, don't miss Hoglund's Work and Western Wear for a great selection.

Hiking in Helena, Montana

Want to go hiking in the mountains. Try the trail that goes to the top of Mt. Helena, in Helena. This is an easy one even for young people. Elevation at top, 5,468 feet. Biking allowed too. The view of the mountains to the south and west from the top is awesome.

Tip on Making Lodging Reservations

When booking lodging in Montana, it’s wise to ask, at the time of booking, about cancellation policies. If travel plans change, you don’t want to end up paying for lodging that you don’t use. Advance deposits for lodging on a credit card, before arrival, should be avoided, when possible.

Yellowstone Park

Don’t miss one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the United States.  When visiting  Yellowstone Park this summer, see the Lower Falls on the Yellowstone River and the inspirational,  beautiful canyon the river flows through.
