Helena, MT

Helena, MT in Western Montana

Rich history meets modern adventure in Montana's vibrant capital.

Downtown Helena’s Last Chance Gulch and Reeder’s Alley serve as a historic and lively community hub and outdoor walking mall. From town, Helena’s expansive trail system leads to incredible hiking and biking; the Missouri River offers an excellent spot for authentic Montana fly-fishing; and Canyon Ferry Reservoir, Lake Helena, and Holter and Houser lakes provide endless ways to play on the water.
