Welcome to Southwest Montana

Southwest Montana has a story deeper than what meets the eye. It’s where ghost towns sit in the shadow of glacier-carved peaks, blue-ribbon rivers wind through valleys, and ancient limestone caves are waiting to be explored. Dig into the landscapes, communities, geology, and people that make this region so unique.

Two days of ghost stories wind between Helena's historic downtown and the backroads beyond. Wander weathered mining camps and catch a show at Grandstreet Theatre, where Clara Bicknell is said to linger. Then head south to Elkhorn Ghost Town and spend the night at Boulder Hot Springs, a century-old inn with a few restless guests of its own.
