SWMT Area
Virginia City and Ennis Area
History buffs find their perfect vacation in Virginia City while outdoorsmen flock to the area for some of the best blue-ribbon fishing. While the Madison is the region’s more well-known treasure, the Ruby Valley is home to the confluence of three popular rivers (Big Hole, Beaverhead, Ruby) to form the Jefferson, making Twin Bridges and Ennis perfect fly-fishing destinations.
