Review:
Founded as a humble gold camp during the Gold Rush, Montana’s capital city Helena is ideally located between Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park. < Besides providing the ideal base-camp for visitors wanting to explore these amazing parks, Helena offers several city attractions when you need a change of pace. Cyclists can look forward to exploring over 75 miles of cycling and mountain bike trails, many of which originate in downtown. History lovers can visit the Montana State Capitol Building, take a ride on the Last Chance Tour Train or go on a self-guided walking tour through the Westside Mansion District to admire the homes of the miners who struck it lucky. After a busy day you can relax in the rejuvenating waters of the natural hot springs at Broadwater Hot Springs.
