Captivating Culture and Charm in Downtown Helena, Montana

On episode 55, we travel beyond Glacier National Park to Helena Montana. If you are buying an airplane ticket to get to Glacier National Park, consider spending some extra time in the state. This episode continues a series of extra adventures beyond GNP.  Part of a multi-episode journey through Montana, we have more on the way in future episodes with more things you can do while you are visiting in the state of Montana.

Visiting Helena Montana

The capitol city of Montana, Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site encapsulates the spirit of the west. There is quite a variety of activities from which to select. If you enjoy culture, you can soak up history in the local museums.  Perhaps you fancy architecture. In that case the St. Helena Cathedral is a magnificent site to visit. And there are 75 miles of nearby trails for outdoor adventures.  All this is supplemented with the historic roots of this town founded by gold miners. 

On this episode, we discuss our stops for our visit to Helena Montana:  

• Last Chance Tours
• Montana Historical Society Museum
• Montana State Capitol
• Cathedral of St. Helena
• Last Chance Gulch
• Reeder's Alley
• and more

On our Foodie Corner, we stop at Benny's Bistro for the best meal hands down during our time in Montana.
