Dams  The thunder and roar that amazed the Lewis and clark Expedition in 1805 upon discovering the original five great falls of the Missouri can still be experienced throughout the state.

Lakes/Reservoirs  Like uncut gems, Montana's lakes and reservoirs sparkle in brilliant sapphire, blue topaz, soft turquoise and deep jade. From grassy hills to pine-covered mountains, their settings are as varied as the land.

Mansions  From historic homesteads, to rustic homes, to modern lodges, Montana's mansions offer as much in variety as its scenery.

Mountains  Montana takes its name from the Spanish word for mountains, and virtually every type of mountain can be found under the Big Sky. Grassy mounds ease up from the prairie, while flat-topped buttes command attention on the plains. Massive pine-covered ranges provide passage to boundless woods, and jagged peaks serve as the rugged sentinels of time.

Performance Roads  Montana holds some magnificent scenery that can be found by way of our highways and roads. From a meandering highway along a pristine lake to dramatic switchbacks through towering mountains, to gently winding roads through rolling hills that ease up from the plains, whatever you are looking for, our roads will lead you there.

Prison (vacant) Montana's Old Territorial Prison was built to house some pretty bad apples. Its gothic towers, iron gates and stone cells created a piece of hell in a heavenly place. It includes four-tiered cell blocks with catwalks, and guard cages. Built at the turn-of-the-century, it also includes "The Hole," a large prison yard, shower room, visiting areas, warden's and administrative offices, Sally Port and guard towers.

Railroads  If usable tracks, engines and cars are what you seek, look to the dramatic landscape of Montana. Trains chug over trestles, through tunnels, across badlands and along mountain ranges. When these trains roll down the track, they take you not just through the pristine valleys and tidy little towns, but into the railyards and back doors of gritty urban centers.

Montana Short Line   View photos of theVirginia/Nevada City Short Line Steam Engine, an original steam locomotive. With a 17,000 horsepower engine, the Short Line barrels down a mile-and-a-half of track connecting two authentic Western Towns.

Rivers  For every Blackfoot River of literary fame, there are dozens of less famous but equally interesting, waterways in Montana. You can always count on the state for crystal clear streams and whitewater stretches, but we can also lead you to winding rivers that flow through scenic mountains, prairies, and canyons.

Ski Areas The charm of a local ski area is as accessible as the sophistication of a major resort. Each area boasts a unique type of mountain and its own style of snow. Lodge merchants range from hot dog vendors to furriers. Sleigh rides, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are often just around the bend.

Unique Locations  If you're looking for the odd, strange, and perplexing, Montana has it as well. While famous for it's mountainous granduer, Montana is also the home of some very unique locations. Coming Soon...

Waterfalls  While magnificent structures have been built to harness energy and reserve water, many falls still rush freely.

Western Towns  You'll see it in homesteads on the plains and cabins in the hills. Standing sets, western towns and ghost towns remain in tribute to a way of life gone by. The personality of the wild frontier still can be found in functioning communities, turn-of-the-century structures, withering townsites and our old Territorial Prison.
