Downtown Helena is situated in a steep gulch with parts
of the city perched on surrounding hillsides. This picturesque
setting opens up into a wide valley to the north. On
the upper east side sits Montana's State Capitol. Helena's
glorious past can be seen in its spectacular 19th century
mansions, historic Last Chance Gulch businesses and
restored pioneer dwellings. The St. Helena Cathedral,
an imposing edifice, overlooks the downtown area. Numerous
old mines and settlements exist close by. Just eight
miles from the Continental Divide, Helena is surrounded
by mountains. The Missouri River flows nearby with several
lakes within a short driving distance.
