What a wonderful place for a family outing! Be prepared to come early as it gets busier as the day progresses. Some highlights are: ➡️ The lookout by the valley is phenomenal! (This is a wonderful photo opportunity!) ➡️ Bring bags or empty to boxes to purchase fresh produce at amazing prices: examples: 😁 $4 for a huge handful of fresh kale 😁 $1 for a gigantic zucchini ➡️ If you love giant turtles 🐢, they are very friendly here! 👍🥰 Kids love to visit them! ➡️ If you enjoy freshly made pies, cheese buns and jams, this is the place to visit! ➡️ Saskatoon Berry bushes and other plants are available for purchase. Be prepared to book several hours to soak up the scenery, visit the turtles and browse through the fresh produce market and craft shops. Annie W. Master Reviewer Local Guide / Google Maps

Delightful, unexpected quaint place with amazing views. Tranquil, sounds of nature and beautiful gift shop, restaurant and bakery. Close to the city, a new found place of peace and a great quick place to hangout , shop eat and I cant wait to attend an event. I went midweek off season and it was still worth the drive. So pretty like a little western town full of architecture and detail. Friendly staff and animal mascots, cats and a dog roam around this working farm. Highly recommended for an outing and no entrance or parking fees. My new happy place.

This place was such an unexpected delight on our summer road trip through Calgary! The moment we pulled in I thought, wow, this is gorgeous! You could honestly spend the entire day here just wandering around, exploring, and soaking up all the sights and sounds. The farmers market was amazing, bursting with fresh produce, pickled goodies, meats, milk, honey, and the most beautiful handmade treasures. The shops gave me total Anthropologie vibes!!! I’m obsessed, honestly! And if my wallet would have let me, I could have happily bought one of everything. From clothing to home goods, everything was just so thoughtfully chosen and so pretty!! The people were just as wonderful! Everyone we met had a smile and made us feel so welcome. Outside, there were turkeys and chickens happily strutting about and a breathtaking valley view that felt like a postcard come to life. We snapped photos, soaked it all in, and even enjoyed lunch overlooking that view, absolute perfection! This place is pure magic!!! If you ever get the chance to stop here, please do. It’s the kind of place that fills your heart with joy and makes a road trip feel unforgettable!!

Nice place, a cross between a garden centre and a disney old west town, but not so big. If you walk through there are fantastic views over the valley. The food was very good. The gift shop is very expensive!

Absolutely loved our visit to Saskatoon Farm! 🌸 The atmosphere is peaceful, with beautiful gardens and scenic views all around. The café serves delicious, fresh food — their Saskatoon berry pie is a must-try! 🍰 Staff were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Great spot for a weekend outing or a quick escape from the city. Highly recommend visiting during berry-picking season! 🍇

We enjoyed our visit to The Saskatoon Farm. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting, and the service was friendly. The food was tasty, nicely presented, and portions were generous. The variety on the menu is great, and it’s a good spot for both families and couples. That said, the service felt a bit slow at times, which kept it from being a perfect experience. Overall, it’s definitely worth visiting and we would come back again.

Firstly, I have to say that I’ve been coming to The Saskatoon Farm for years, and it has always been one of my favourite places to visit. I’ve never had a bad experience here: the selection of items for purchase is excellent, the markets are always well-organized and fun, the food has never let me down, and the produce is fantastic. So when my (now) husband and I started wedding planning, it was a no-brainer that this would be our top choice for a venue! We recently got married here, and my appreciation and love for The Saskatoon Farm have only grown. Our first tour was with Elena, who also became our main point of contact over the next year and a bit leading up to the wedding. She was incredibly thorough in answering my many (many!) questions and always got back to me in a timely manner. Both Elena and Nicole were also so helpful during our final walkthrough and in the days leading up to the wedding, whether it was during our decor drop-off, floral prep, or set-up instructions, it was clear how much they cared about ensuring we felt at ease and excited for the big day. The wedding day itself couldn’t have been more perfect; it truly was a dream come true. The entire team executed my vision flawlessly: from the custom cocktail hour menu, to the ceremony and reception set-up, to the thoughtful organization of the gift and guest book table, every detail showed so much care. Throughout the evening, they made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible, and I’m endlessly grateful we chose The Saskatoon Farm as our wedding venue. I also have to add that the space itself is PERFECT for a wedding. I highly recommend booking the Sunny Studio for getting-ready photos; it was spacious, beautifully lit, and we were even able to order breakfast and drinks right from the restaurant below. We also chose to add the flower baskets to the ceremony space (the lath house), and that was absolutely the right decision. And finally, I can’t recommend the Saskatoon berry pie enough for dessert! Our guests complimented all the food that evening, but the pie with ice cream was truly unforgettable. We’ll always support this business, and they have truly earned our highest praise. A very special thank you to Elena and Nicole, you played such a huge role in making our day so seamless and unforgettable! - Ioana & Jason

Great place to visit. Took about an hour to do the whole heritage site. Unique heritage site with tons of info on the buffalo jump. One of my favorite parts is the building itself. Built into the side of the cliff, it's architecturaly very fascinating. Great views from the cliff of the prairies and the Old Man River.

The World Heritage Site: Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump After a long week of work, we finally had the chance to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, just a 2-hour drive from Calgary. No booking required! Simply pay the entrance fee and enjoy the fascinating exhibits. It’s a place rich in history, offering insight into how Indigenous people survived and thrived in this cold and challenging environment. You’ll learn about traditional hunting methods, culture, and resilience. A must visit, especially for families with kids! It’s a meaningful way to teach children about the remarkable ways people adapted and lived in harmony with nature.

Woow. Magnificent place. I heard about it long time ago but had no chance to visit till last weekend and it was worth for such long drive. Knowing the history of the place and native culture goes back to 6000 years. Mind blowing for me. Also, layer by layer display of the soil which contains buffalo remains in last 6000 years, stunning. I have more respect to the native people than before after visiting and learning one of their sacred place.

🦬 Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump – A Powerful Connection to the Past—We’ve visited Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump a few times over the years, and each time it gets better. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable—they really bring the history to life. The site is well-maintained, and the washrooms were clean, which is always appreciated. This year, we noticed some new features added since our last visit, which made the experience feel fresh. They offer family packages and discounted rates for veterans and their families, which is a thoughtful touch. No need to book in advance—we walked in on a weekend and had no issues, even with tour buses coming through. 🐾 Heads-up for pet owners: Dogs aren’t allowed inside the interpretive centre, but there’s a shaded waiting area outside where you can sit with your pup. They even provide water bowls, which was a kind gesture. ✅ Tip: If you’re heading south from Pincher Creek or exploring the Waterton area, this is a must-stop. It’s not just a museum—it’s a place to reflect, learn, and connect with Indigenous history in a meaningful way.

Super friendly staff and a clean, well maintained building and trails. I did the trails to the kill site, and met a deer along the way. Educational tour. I had no idea the excavation of the site discovered the site had been used for about 6000-7000 years! Very cool.

This was an incredible experience. The indigenous people of this land had systems and processes in place for thousands of years that have been adapted and still used today. They were resourceful, environmentally aware, deeply spiritual and then white man came along. I was so moved by the story and impressed by the visitor centre and how they honoured the stories. Great building, great staff and well worth the visit.

Very interesting site, for those with a curiosity about the culture of Canada's Indigenous population. You can get through the whole interpretive center in about an hour. Make sure you go to the theater and watch the short 15 minute film about the buffalo herd cliff stampede. Then at the end you can grab a cap or tshirt that says 'Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump'. Not everyone has one of those. A guaranteed conversation starter. If the weather permits take a short stroll to see the cliffs just outside the center.

A calm and beautiful place to spend time. Although the park is relatively small, it offers several picturesque spots that are perfect for taking photos. The exhibits sharing the history of Japanese individuals who lost their lives in World War II were both informative and moving. The display of the soldiers’ war attire added a meaningful perspective. The large bell was a highlight — ringing it was a unique and memorable experience. Overall, the park was very clean and thoughtfully maintained. A lovely place to visit and reflect.

Beautiful and quiet garden, worth at least one visit. It was smaller than I was expecting, but they use the space well. Staff is friendly.

Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden is peaceful and beautifully maintained. The garden itself is a little smaller than expected and a bit pricey, but the experience makes up for it. We enjoyed Japanese calligraphy, homemade tea, and learning about the culture. The staff were so kind and patient, and you can even rent a traditional dress for $30. A lovely cultural experience in Lethbridge!

Can't say enough great things about this park. It's so well maintained, the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The audio tour was well done and even though the link posted didn’t work for me, it was easy enough to navigate to the page to find the audio tour. The history of the park was so interesting to learn and it was fascinating to find out that the park has incorporated local trees and rocks to create the garden. I'm inspired to start my own small garden one day! It was educational to find out that the ponds at the garden had had carp in them one year until the local birds of prey ate them all. So if you find yourself also wondering if anyone thought of stocking the ponds with fish, well now we all know why there are currently no fish in them! I brought my mom when the pavillon was playing Japanese cat videos in honor of international cat day and somehow we found ourselves standing in our bare feet mesmerized by the cat videos for over 15 min. It was a magical experience. I can't wait to come back.

Very nice just a lot smaller than I thought it was . It was a little Bit pricey for the amount of time we spent in here but I was a nice walk around. Lots of nice places to sit but be careful there was a lot of hornets . Would definitely go again when they have there holiday lights up!

Beautiful landscaping and lots of history. Managed to time it right to arrive just before the tour started, so got all the history of the place as well! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered questions with ease.

Peaceful but was expecting more to be honest enjoyed it either way. One downside though there were so many wasps near the hedge wall. The girlfriend enjoyed here too so did Mikan (from Neko house)

Highly recommend! My husband and I stopped by shortly before they closed and were able the check out the old prison. The staff were kind enough to let us back the next morning to see the car museum the next day, free of charge. We are so happy we stopped here to check out this museum on our way to Glacier, super interesting and fun experience! The staff were so friendly! We got a discount having AAA

My husband & I visited both museums. Well worth the cost of admission & the time. The self guided tour is amazing. You can walk through nearly all of the prison. So much information & education. The auto museum is a car enthusiast’s dream. Vehicles dating back to about 1914 & into the 1970’s. Would highly recommend!

It's such a cool place to visit. Amazing auto exhibit. The old prison is really neat to explore. The other museums across the street are interesting blasts from the past. Highly recommend checking out this fun place in Deer Lodge. Montana.

Amazing experience! Tickets are good for a second visit, upto 1 year. Includes several museums in town. Allow about 3 plus hours just for the prison and antique cars, depending on walking pace, interest in cars , and reading the info on self guided tour. Great little gift shop too!

This prison looks like a castle, and it's incredible. I love the history around it, too. A must see if you're in the area. They also have an incredible car museum, and I would say 90% is owned by one person. It's a really nice collection. There are 5 places included in your entry. I couldn't believe you got so much for so cheap. That never happens. Don't forget your AARP if you qualify.

We stopped for an antique store and wandered over for the museum. Definitely worth the stop and highly recommended. The prison portion was very unique and interesting. Then add in the extensive auto museum. Their was worth the entry price.

Came out of state and stopped by to check this out. Very fascinating and educational. I could hear some families scaring their kids throughout the museum as we went. Also bought tickets for an older mustang, to help proceeds to the museum. Here’s to hoping we win!

Felt incredibly close to nature out here. The boat ride was peaceful and full of beauty—so many bald eagles, natural rock arches, bird nests tucked into cliffs, and even ancient pictographs telling stories of Indigenous culture. Our tour guide, Kara, shared many fun facts about the canyon rock formation and history. A truly special place that blends wild scenery with deep history.

Great experience!!! 2nd time I have come, will come again!! Beautiful scenery, informative tour, kind people, great food!!! I recommend!! I brought all my resident from my assisted living and they were very accommodating and helpful!!

Beautiful boat ride. We were able to see Bald Eagle and Osprey. The historic narration is very interesting.

It was truly breathtaking. Our captain was amazing and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The gift shop and cafeteria is worth a visit as well, so make sure you make time for Gayes of the Mountains!

Felt incredibly close to nature out here. The boat ride was peaceful and full of beauty—so many bald eagles, natural rock arches, bird nests tucked into cliffs, and even ancient pictographs telling stories of Indigenous culture.

Very informative tour! Had a great boat ride and very senic.

What an amazing tour and affordable for the family.we bought tickets ahead of time .plus we brought snacks and drinks with us and shopped the gift shop after the tour .beautiful pictures and interesting history . No wildlife was spotted on tour ..it was a beautiful day .plan to get there early, buy tickets ahead of time

We were traveling through on our way to Alaska and stopped here to visit the center. Amazing! There is afee to enter, however if you hold the America the Beautiful pass, senior pass or military pass, or any of the other federal passes, you enter for free. The history here was so enlightening. We learned things we did not know. They have movies throughout the day on different subjects. We arched the one on the Portage. So interesting. You can enter the theater from the upper or lower level. The exhibits in the center were very informative. The exhibits are mostly on the lower level. There are stairs or you can take an elevator. There are items of interest outside and a fantastic walking path along the Missouri River. The staff was so wonderful. There is also a small gift shop. I collect magnets so I was able to pick one up. There is a great covered picnic area over near the teepee that you can enjoy lunch or a snack. After we visited the center, we knew we had to drive out to the Great Falls waterfall, which we wouldn't have known about if we hadn't stopped here. If you are coming to stay in Great Falls or just passing through, you really need to stop here.

Interesting presentation of Lewis and Clark's expedition across untamed America. It covers the incredibly difficult and brutal conditions these men endured crossing the continent.

This was an excellent Lewis and Clark exhibit! We have been traveling the Lewis and Clark trail and have visited many different centers. This is the most complete, covering all parts and days of the voyage. Great for kids too!

Arguably the best part of this museum is the staff (the same does not apply to the gift shop staff … that was a bad experience) they were knowledgeable, fun, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Aside from the staff, the museum itself was well done. The exhibits were well explained and told the story of Lewis and Clark with clarity. One item of note, at the end of exhibits are a few cases of guns, go to that case and look at the top most gun at the front. That’s a replica of the repeating air rifle, a true marvel of engineering and what the Indians were shown as Lewis and Clark traveled. Imagine seeing a rifle that didn’t need gunpowder, was quiet when shot, and didn’t create muzzle flash. That’d be fairly amazing to see in a world of muzzle loaded weapons. Anyway, highly recommend place to visit.

I had an excellent experience here. The museum has lots of very interesting exhibits, and all of the descriptions are very well made. I learned a lot of the local history just from my short visit, but I could have been entertained there all day. I highly recommend, and I will be stopping by again to check out some areas I missed.

CLOSED!! Looks to be very nice, the walk is very cute. The center is closed as of yesterday because of the gov shutdown

It's an amazing place to visit. One of the best on the entire trail. Good for adults, children, history buffs, and families. It's a must-see in Great Falls!

It was beautiful and educational. The show pond had the biggest trout I have ever seen! The spring was so clean and clear. Lots of shade in the park too!

Great place for a walk along the Missouri River. Good mix of paved and unpaved trails. Interesting spring that feeds into the river. The ranger running the office the day I visited was very friendly. I'd return if in the area again.

The fish looked pretty worse for wear.. otherr than that it was lovely. Hiking and walking from very easy time to somewhat challenging.

Giant Springs is always a great place to visit, it's absolutely beautiful and peaceful. I love going with my family and enjoying a picnic and a walk. There are plenty of places to fish along the trail.

This place was such a gem. I stopped here in 2022 and absolutely loved it, glad to have stopped by again.

Love it here it's really tranquil it's got an awesome hot springs and a walking path and a park it's great to bring your kids or your dog or just to go down there and relax. Also a fish refinery at this location.

Giant Springs State Park is beautiful. the clear, bubbling springs and the gorgeous views of the Missouri River were awesome. The park is so well-kept, with easy trails that are perfect for a peaceful walk or a family adventure. The fish hatchery was such a fun surprise, and learning about the springs' history made the visit even more special. Whether you're into hiking, picnicking, or just soaking in the beauty of nature, this place has it all. If you're in Great Falls, don't miss out on this incredible spot!

The Cathedral of St. Helena was constructed at the turn of the century during the episcopate of Bishop John Carroll. It is an outstanding example of Geometric Gothic architecture, patterned after the Votive Church of the Sacred Heart in Vienna, Austria. Stained glass windows, white marble altars, statues carved of the purest Carrara marble, and genuine gold leaf decorates the sanctuary. The pews and woodwork are all done in hand carved oak. The magnificent lighting fixtures are of hand-forged bronze with a special lacquer finish. Outside, majestic twin spires rise 230 feet above the street. Open year-round, Monday - Saturday 7:00am to 6:00pm and 7:00am - 12:30pm on Sundays. Prearranged guided tours take one hour. Please call the parish office to arrange for a tour. Daily Mass in the Cathedral, Monday and Friday at 7:00am and Tuesday through Thursday at 7:00am and 12:00pm. Saturday 9:00am. Weekend masses: Saturday at 5:15pm. Sunday at 7:30am, 9:00am, and 11:00am. It is located at 530 North Ewing Street, Helena, MT 59601

This church is absolutely unbelievable. The fact that it’s located in the middle of Montana and isn’t highly recognized across the nation is truly surprising. The stained glass was unlike anything I’ve ever seen—and that’s coming from someone who has visited many of the major basilicas across Europe. The beauty, craftsmanship, and overall atmosphere here are outstanding. This was truly an unforgettable experience, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Absolutely gorgeous! Be sure to visit when guided tours are available if you are interested in history or architecture, they are well worth the time!

A stunning 'hidden gem' in a quiet neighborhood in Helena MT. The architecture is lovely. Inside - it reminds me of some of the old churches in Europe. Beautiful arches, high ceilings and the stained glass - breathtaking. So peaceful.

This Cathedral is a gorgeous building that gives you the profound feeling you can almost touch eternity. Its beauty, art and atmosphere leave a lasting impression.

No entrance fee. Highly recommend, fantastic architecture and stained glass windows. Beautiful!!

What an amazing cathedral in a relatively small city in the middle of Montana. This is a place to visit for its beauty, size, and inspiration. Check out history on Wikipedia.

Had a great time here. If you stop here I would recommend the tour as a must do activity. The tour is about an hour and half and is great! Our tour guide Tim could have convinced me he actually was a miner with the detailed information he was providing. You will see the above ground support equipment and then walk into a ‘new’ museum tunnel to an original mine area. Have good shoes and you will be wearing a hard hat with light, and eye protection. There was only one slight low ceiling height area I noticed but still over 6’. The mine walk was all on packed ground - sloped but stable. The flat areas had water and some mud like areas but I was able to come out clean. Had a jacket but did not use was very comfortable - high 90’s outside - 60’s in mine , was great. Outside of the mine there are numerous exhibits to take in. Large replica mining town can be explored- I felt like I was on a movie set. If taking the tour I would plan on a 3 hour stay. Large gift shop as well. Plenty of parking. We didn’t purchase tour tickets in advance but I would recommend it as we were lucky to make the last tour of the day.

Nicely done d museum with inside exhibits of minerals taken locally and outside exhibits of the mines workings. A good reapers ration of what was underneath the ground. Get tickets ahead for the mine tour. We missed out because it was full and we had a timeline. Hour and a half tour. Comprehensive. Worth a stop

The mining museum was a highlight to our weekend in Butte. I highly recommend the underground mine tour! Our tour guide, Ken was very knowledgeable and hilarious. He made the mining history come to life. Going underground was a whole new experience. It was the best time.

The buildings in the above-ground village have extremely interesting displays with rare objects from the time periods. Ken was our guide for the pump house and the underground mine and his knowledge was paralleled with his sense of humor, making the experience a real treat. Mining is in his blood - his great grandfather worked in these mines! Thank you, World Museum of Mining for a truly unique and memorable experience.

I flew my family across the country for the Copper Kings 100 mile ultra marathon here in Butte. The underground tour was a great gateway to understanding Butte’s history and to see what lies below the surface of this fascinating area. Ken, our guide, kept everyone engaged - including my 7 and 11 year old. The ground was just a little muddy and the walk had frequent stops. No one had any trouble keeping up. Our guide offered to take pictures of our group at several cool spots and the pictures came out so well. We could see our breath in the mine so take a sweatshirt. The bathrooms were clean and the ride to and from the museum offered great views. Yes, you should do this tour.

We had a wonderful experience, we had a fantastic guide (Ken) who was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The kids enjoyed going underground to get a better understanding of what mining is all about out . We enjoyed walking around after our tour to see the different buildings - fun to learn that many are real structures relocated here to Butte.

From San Antonio, Texas visiting out in Butte for my son birthday. He really wanted to go there so he can go into the mine itself. Overall was an amazing trip. Price wise was worth it. I have paid more money for tours that was nothing compared to theirs. Learned a lot about the town and its history with mining in general. Our tour guide was awesome. I’ll share photos of him. His rock jokes kind of like dad jokes but made it a funny tour to remember lol definitely recommend checking it out especially the part of the tour where they take you down the mine. Go down about 100 ft in and just awesome. Never in my life did I think I go into a mine or even that far deep into the earth itself just an experience I recommend anyone to try out. Thank you to the staff for an amazing time and to our tour guide who made a memory we won’t forget

I had a really great experience with our guild Dean on the moderate tour. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor but very stern when we weren't to touch something. Now the view of the surrounding area from up top at the cave entrance was just amazing. Definitely recommend a must go see.

We took the “Classic Tour” at 11 a.m. Our guide Huckleberry was a nice mix between informative, funny & smooth. He led the entire 2 hours tour with knowledge & dedication. We always felt in good hands & safe during the entire tour. The tour itself was quite impressive. Exploring those caves and learning about how they started to exist and developed was interesting and informative. I can recommend experiencing this part of Montana’s cave history.

Beautiful scenic drive up to the caverns. Paradise Tour is decent but only takes you a short distance into the cavern. The outside walk to the cavern is longer than the walk inside the cavern. Beautiful views inside the cavern but the majority of the tour is standing and listening to the very knowledgeable guide about the interesting cavern history. Would recommend the longer tour and would recommend purchasing tickets prior to arrival as tours do sell out. Nice cafe with very tasty food. Highly recommend the Bison Burger, fresh side salad and Huckleberry Soda💜

We did the classic 2 hour/2 mile cavern tour. Be prepared to go up and down many stairs. First 3/4 of a mile is spent going uphill 300 ft. You have 15 to 20 minutes to get it done or they may send you back. No children are allowed on this tour. Also, no bags of any kind allowed, with the exception of a needed medical one. The staff were all friendly and Rachel, our tour guide, did a fine job. There is a gentler Paradise Tour that is for children and guests with limited mobility. It is shorter in time and distance.

Wow! And wow! I know a lot of people did not discover this place yet but if you ever came across to Montana. You’ve got to visit this beautiful cave it is amazing and beyond amazing. The picture cannot even justify. I would say highly, highly recommended this tour you will love it.

We took the Paradise tour. Very informational, and our guide was entertaining (I believe her name is Bridget? She was awesome!) however the 2 rooms you see are pretty much right as you enter the caverns past the doors, I guess I expected a little more walking around, but all the formations are amazing nonetheless! We would love to go back and take the Classic tour!

We did the two hour classic tour for the umpteenth time it did not disappoint. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and introduced a lot of humor to the tour. The food at the café was great. There is ample parking. There are outdoor kennels to keep your dogs shaded and watered. The caverns themselves are absolutely stunning. If you do the classic tour, there is a brief uphill hike and the tour itself is about two hours. You do not get to see the paradise room with this tour you do however get to see everything else. Having done both if I were to choose one, the classic tour is much better than the paradise tour. If you are a native Montana and have not been to the caverns, shame on you!

Big Sky Ski Resort is AMAZING! I have skied here before, and it has incredible terrain and beauty. Today in September I am here to do some hiking and take the lifts up. I want to give a special thanks to Calvin and the entire crew at Big Sky. EVERY single person I encountered (lift operators, ticket booth, etc.) was WONDERFUL! The employees here are world-class. Big Sky Ski Resort is lucky to have them, and they should be rewarded for every 5-star review posted. They are all incredibly kind, smart, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and hard-working. I had a mishap, and Calvin and his crew handled it so beautifully. I was able to truly enjoy my visit here because of them!

We stayed here for a day during our Yellowstone and Grand Teton trip, and while the check-in experience with the front desk and bell boy was excellent, our overall impression was ruined at checkout. After leaving, we were hit with a surprise $4.50 charge. When I contacted customer service, a person named Jeff claimed it was for a water bottle from the room. This is absolutely false — we never used or even noticed any such bottle. We carried our own water the entire trip. His explanation that “the bottle was on the table, not in the fridge” makes no sense, and frankly comes across as an excuse to justify an unjustified charge. It’s shocking and disappointing that a place with otherwise nice staff and a serene environment would spoil a guest’s experience with such petty, dishonest practices. Pros: Nice front desk and bell boy service, calm surroundings. Cons: Very limited vegetarian food options, and worst of all — hidden charges after checkout. Lesson learned: Always take photos when you check in and out, because there are bad elements that try to take advantage. This was the worst checkout experience I’ve had in years of traveling, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who values honesty and transparency. BTW poor rating because of billing customer service

It was so quiet and peaceful foxes were outside frolicking in the fresh snow. We actually were the only people who were staying at the resort at the time and it was a really magical experience. I don’t recommend you dry your clothes there though it’s five dollars a load.

The mountain itself is great for advanced level to expert level skiers, but the prices here are egregiously expensive. Their lift ticket prices on poor weather days are like $300/day, and it goes beyond $400/day on good days. You can't get on the gondola to access the entire mountain less you pay another $100. You can't even get lunch at the mountain without making a reservation for lunch at the top of the ski hill. The hotel prices at the resort also start at about $700/night and there are no public transit options in town, so you have to pay the excessive rate or pay for an expensive rental car and an expensive hotel/airbnb in town.

Stayed there for the Rut Run. Wonderful hotel and service from front desk , valet, concierge and housekeeping was outstanding. Everyone was super friendly and totally gets the concept of customer service. The location couldn't be better for the run.

MTB trails were a ton of fun, even though we had some shutdowns due to lightning in the vicinity. Trails could do with a little more work to get rid of all the chatter bumps into corners, but those that did have fresh dirt were incredible. Well worth the lift ticket prices for a day on the trails!

One of the best mountains in the U.S, tell your friends it sucked. Great snow, terrain, friendly staff and average pricing. Only issue (which has gotten better) is tram Access. Now its included with a day ticket which is a huge improvement but it should be available on all season passes yes even the green.

The area is really clean and alot of interesting stores/resteraunts. No sales tax is a plus. My only negative comment would be pricing. Most places were geared toward higher end customers.

The town of Bozeman is just absolutely beautiful. They feature plenty of restaurants bars coffee shops and so much more. Behind the Bozeman library is a gorgeous park that is called Bozeman sculpture Park. It features handcrafted sculptures and it has fantastic walking paths with the name enormous field for relaxing or playing. When we were there there was some young adults that had tied ropes between two trees and were tightrope walking, I was pretty cool!

What a wonderful trip. The people in Bozeman and all over Montana are super nice. Such a beautiful part of the country.

This downtown is adorable! There are a good number of shops with a variety of selections. There are also a number of restaurants and coffee shops.

Spend two days in Bozeman (at least) to give yourself time to hit Main Street and take in as many shops and bars and restaurants as you can. The Main Street is awesome but go down some side streets as well. Also, get out for some nearby hikes like Drinking Horse and the “M”. If you are lucky, maybe there will be a street festival for music or art. Farmer’s market is on Tuesday! VictorB

Beautiful location with lots of bars and restaurants. very very clean

No kings day

Perfect activity when you don’t have a lot of time in Bozeman! This is a beautiful museum that features a lot of dinosaurs, dinosaur interactions and information. If you like BIG dinosaur skeletons, this is your place. There is also a very comfortable small planetarium that is a perfect place to relax after touring the museum with a variety of good shows and a very nominal price. Please DON’T forget the period house that is located outside! It is a real walk back in time! There is a very nice sized gift shop and a small cafe there as well.

A Dinosaur Lover's Dream: The Museum of the Rockies The Museum of the Rockies is a perfect activity for anyone visiting Bozeman, especially if you’re short on time. This beautiful museum is a must-see for dinosaur lovers, featuring a vast collection of impressive, well-maintained dinosaur skeletons and engaging exhibits. Beyond the incredible dinosaur displays, the museum also offers a variety of other attractions. You can relax and enjoy a show at the comfortable, small planetarium for a nominal price. Don't forget to visit the period house located outside—it's a real walk back in time! The museum also features a nice-sized gift shop and a small cafe. With its amazing, rotating exhibits (like the past Marvel Comics display), there is always something new to see. It’s a highly recommended and educational experience for all ages, offering a great way to learn and explore through real skeletons, sculptures, photos, and movies.

Museum of the Rockies is such a cool place to explore! If you’re into dinosaur bones, this is the place to be. Their exhibits are some of the most impressive and well-maintained I’ve ever seen. I also love that they feature rotating exhibits — about a year ago, I caught the Marvel Comics one, and it was amazing! Definitely a must-visit if you’re looking for things to do in Bozeman.

Absolutely loved our visit to the Museum of the Rockies! The exhibits are fascinating and beautifully curated — especially the incredible dinosaur collection. There’s so much to see and learn for both kids and adults, and everything is presented in a way that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the museum itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to explore. Definitely a must-visit stop in Montana

Great museum of natural history as well as a kids area for Yellowstone. Wonderful addition having the Jane Goodall exhibit and a poignant time visiting with her recent passing but the area is so well done. Great visit for natural history!

We visited Museum of the Rockies this time during a remodel, so we have less photos to share. We also need to crop ourselves out of the dinosaur pictures, so parts will be missing. That said - Museum of the Rockies is a MUST if you are heading to or from any nearby National Parks or other historic sites. The museum has several rooms to visit and learn about different dinosaurs, times periods, etc. There’s a room with a bench and a movie screen where kids can press play and learn. The t-rex has an upstairs viewing area. The top floor has a children’s museum with interactive displays, bathrooms, and low key learning stations. There’s a planetarium with daily shows on the main floor just inside the doors. They usually offer two different kinds of shows per day. Don’t be late. The doors are locked to provide everyone inside a fantastic show. The gift shop will require its own chunk of time so you can peruse. They have the expected t-shirts and sweatshirts, but also have a great selection of stones to choose from - as well as magnets, toys, mugs, books, etc. If you can afford to become a member of the museum, they offer after hours events and fundraisers. The last time we were there, the museum was hosting an after hours event for members. Becoming a member is well worth the investment. The museum is a great place to take young children. The Museum of the Rockies was the beginning of a lifelong love of dinosaurs and paleontology for one family member who first visited it as a toddler. The museum has an elevator to make it easy to get to the kid’s floor with little ones in tow. The parking lot is big - and the views of the mountains are breathtaking. There’s a walking path outside and a safe area you can walk your dogs.

There is much to explore at this museum. During our first visit, we focused on Sue, the enormous T-Rex fossil. On this visit, Jane Goodall's chimpanzee studies in Gombe were the focus. I had intended to walk the grounds of the historic farm buildings during peak autumn beauty, but was disappointed to discover that this area closes at the end of summer.

Bridger Bowl is great! There’s a lot of diverse terrain. Nice greens and blues, tree skiing, and double blacks for the adventurous. Their staff is super nice too, including the ski school instructors. Food at the lodge is pretty overpriced, but I guess that’s not too surprising. The coffee was terrible, it was so watered down it looked like tea.

Truly the best ski area! I've been skiing Bridger since moving to Bozeman 11 years ago, and it's always a great time. The employees are friendly and seem happy, the skiing is fantastic and the ski patrol works hard to keep the mountain safe and open terrain as quickly as possible. We got engaged on chair 26 (Schlasman's) so it's a special spot!

Great place to ski. Reasonable and a short drive from Bozeman. Snow was great, and a beautiful April afternoon for a Aprés beer after maybe the last great week of the winter.

Great resort with plenty of terrain features for both skis and boards. The staff is friendly and helpful. The snow sports school is offering both ski and snowboard lessons!

Awesome, great and we loved it. The place is run so well, it feels like they really care. Perfect place for ski school and super kids friendly. We also had an injury and ski patrol was outstanding.

This was our first Montana Ski experience and we will be back! What a treasure Bridger Bowl is. Friends of mine had told me it’s a “hidden gem” and isn’t that the truth! Bridger Bowl makes a Montana ski experience possible for big families. You get incredible mountain skiing experiences for a great price. So many options at the multiple chalets to eat and hang out. Great staff all around, everyone is friendly! Really fun skiing, excellent snow and well groomed runs, and plenty of options for all levels of skiers. We had 5 teenagers on the trip and they were highly satisfied and impressed, not always an easy accomplishment!

Great skiing, friendly staff, if you want to ski with the locals this is the place. We found it to have a better vibe than Big Sky. Make sure you hit the bar after you hit the slopes!

Alyssa and Jackson were super fun and knowledgeable guides for our Ziplining adventure! I highly recommend them as guides. We had a blast. Brandon was our guide on our whitewater rafting trip. He was amazing and navigated us thru some fun class III and IV waters. Overall Montana Whitewater Rafting & Zipline teams were GREAT! The ladies at the front desk were super helpful and kind. All the guides work together to make our two-part day an incredible adventure! Thank you Alyssa, Jackson, Brandon and Olivia!!! You all are the best! <3 Carnivals

10/10 recommend! We did a double experience and did zip lining first with Jackson and Alyssa! They were AWESOME and made sure everyone had a blast! They were also so very patient when our youngest couldn’t make it up the ladder and had to go down! Thank yall! Then we headed over for white water rafting! Our crew got partnered up with Tim! We had a blast going down the river and hitting some awesome rapids! One thing I would like to add the process of being able to purchase and get your photos automatically airdropped to your phone was GREAT!!

An unforgettable experience on the Gallatin River! I went whitewater rafting with Montana Whitewater Rafting Co. in June 2025, and it was hands down one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve had in Montana. We opted for the “less challenging” route, but it still gave us plenty of excitement... waves crashing, hearts racing, and laughter all the way through. At one point, I almost fell out during a rapid, and a big splash sent the kid next to me disappearing between the seats (inside the boat, thankfully!). Our guide, Cole Mosher, was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe the entire time. He even encouraged us to try the more advanced route next time... but after seeing a massive rock on our way back, I'm still "thinking about it" 🥶🥶😅 And shoutout to their team for snapping some epic action shots. We looked like pros out there...well, almost 🌝

Maya and Saylor on the ziplines, Aiden on the whitewater, awesome, awesome guides. So fun and good with kids too! We had an absolute blast of a day! Thank you so much. Will definately visit again next time through!

Booked this adventure last minute! What a great experience! We did both adventures Tall Tim, our rafting guide, gave us girls the wettest ride we've ever been on!! Highly recommended!! 2nd adventure, we Ziplined! I cannot recall the names of our guides. One was blonde, one was Brunette, both super adorable and made the whole experience memorable! Thank you to you two for being great at what you do!!

Absolutely amazing experience with Montana Whitewater and our incredible guide, Julia! We had such a blast out on the Gallatin River and through the Mad Mile. It’s truly breathtaking, and the perfect mix of adrenaline and natural beauty. Julia is a total pro. She made the ride exciting, fun, and most importantly, safe. You can tell she loves what she does, and it made the whole adventure even better. They provide everything you need, from gear to guidance, and the entire crew was friendly and professional. The cherry on top? The photos! Captured by a professional photographer, they’re incredible and such a great way to remember the day. Can’t recommend this enough, we’ll definitely be back!

I work as one of the Managers at one of Big Sky's well known hotels that refer our guests to Montana Whitewater all the time but had personally experienced it until last week when I got to with my daughter and grand children last week who were visiting me for the week. What a great experience Montana Whitewater provides us thrill seekers! Over top experience all the way around, from start to finish and our guide Owen was the icing on the cake, great guy! You don't need to miss this true Montana experience! Highly recommended!

Super easy hike! The trail was very maintained and smooth. We saw people easily pushing their baby strollers on the pathway. It's worth stopping to see if you are in the area. The entire hike is in the shade.

This was a nice, short hike. The elevation gain wasn't too bad. There were quite a few people there but it wasn't crowded. The falls at the end are beautiful!

Beautiful hike and gorgeous falls at the end. Easy trails, though some elevation involved. Definitely check them out if you are in the Big Sky area.

Found this great hike & falls heading home from yellowstone en route to Bozeman. What a gem! Nice wide trail, able to walk dogs. Beautiful! It's evident the community came together to enhance this natural falls for a shared safe experience. resource

If you want to get your steps in and explore nature take this 1.6 mile trek to Ousel Falls. A spectacular view of falls in the middle of nature, checks your activity boxes while you stroll up and down on a medium level walk. If you want more steps start your walk in Big Sky Village and at 2 miles. That’s what we did.

Enjoyable and easy trail near Big Sky town center. A little bit up and downhill, a waterfall at the bottom. Nice tree cover.

Beautiful moderate difficulty, shorter hike with scenic views. This is a beautiful hike in Big Sky with a nice water fall at the end. There's some moderate elevation change but it's a very well maintained path the entire way. You follow a stream back up to the falls and get a wonderful view there. Couple of spots to stop on the way and have a picnic. I believe the round trip was about 3 miles give or take. Worth it for a relatively short, easy hike.

Nice stop in Yellowstone to walk around on the boardwalk and see the Geysers up close and personal. Since it's a basin, you walk down, then feel like you're surrounded by geysers in every direction. All of them were pretty active. It's all boardwalks, so it's an easy walk around with very little inclines or declines except when you first walk down.

Symphony of hot springs,in my ranking, Norris can be ranked in the top 4 of Yellowstone's geothermal phenomena. 1. Old Faithful Geyser Group, 2. Grand Prismatic, 3. West Thumb Hot Springs.

The loop trail is full of geothermal features, so prepare for a long walk if you want to see it all. If short on time, you could just take the northern loop which has the iconic landscape

Norris Geyser Basin is one of my favorite places to visit in Yellowstone Park. I normally skip the Porcelain Basin because you can see most of it from the hill. Used to have a lot more water there.

There are two parts: north porcelain basin and south back basin. Plan to spend two to three hours to finish the trails. Easy boardwalk, no shades, bring plenty of water when walking among the steams. Awesome views.

Very cool places, beautiful, untouched nature, majestic geysers and various animals, but I really regret that I only set aside one day for it. I recommend it, but set aside at least a couple of days.

This felt different than the rest of Yellowstone national park. The informational center had a lot of neat facts - like the Norris geyser being one of the oldest studied geysers (and they had a copy of the old report to the show that). Lots of neat fun facts! We were trying to leave and get on the road, so we didn’t venture too far out, but it was cool to check out.

It is definitely a fun experience but I feel like this whole geyser basin area is way overdeveloped, I don’t feel like it’s in a nation park anymore, also even in shoulder season it’s packed here. The most amazing part is we saw this full rainbow over the Old Faithful! What a beautiful sight

Old Faithful is a Yellowstone classic for a reason — the eruption is unforgettable. When it blasts off, you can feel the power of the geyser in your chest, with steam rising into a bright blue sky. It’s a “wow” moment for both kids and grown-ups. Prediction times around the viewing area are impressively accurate, which makes planning easy. There’s plenty of space to sit, take photos, and enjoy the anticipation before the eruption reaches those iconic heights. I deducted one star for the crowds — they are intense. This is the most popular spot in the park, so expect packed walkways and full seating well before eruption time. It’s still absolutely worth seeing, but it helps to be prepared. Traveler Tip: Arrive early for the best view. If you can, aim for a morning or late-afternoon eruption; the crowds thin just enough to breathe, and the lighting is better for photos. Even with the crowds, Old Faithful is a must-see. The eruption itself is worth every second. If you’re planning a Yellowstone trip and have questions, feel free to reach out — always happy to help out a fellow traveler.

Incredible. On our bucket list! Well worth the wait and worth a visit! Close the both the west and south entrance to Yellowstone NP. Not sure about a summer visit, but we planned our visit for the first week of October. Many of the trees were turning bright fire yellow. The national park is amazing. Love the drive and waterfalls and “smokers” as we called them. But Old Faithful was a highlight. The geyser didn’t just blow…. It BLEW… for almost 5 minutes. I never knew… I thought it would be just one big steam explosion. Nope. It was far beyond that. And the timing. Pretty close to what was predicted. About every 90 minutes. Lots of lots of bench seating. Great drop off place for those who struggle with walking would be pull in to the Yellowstone Old Faithful Lodge. Pass up the check in drop off area and go straight toward the end of the curb. It’s as close and you’re gonna get to the viewing area. You could almost watch from the car. But it’s a very easy short walk to the benches. Not to be missed!!!!

Amazing experience for my son and I, amazing experience. Highly recommend to at least stop in and check this thing erupt. Inside the visitor center there are times given when this will erupt and it's pretty accurate within plus or minus 10 minutes. Was not overly crowded and the whole area was awesome to check out.

The trip was filled with amazing views and experiences. The interior circle drive requires 4 hours to complete and will not disappoint. We saw bears, bison, moose, eagles along with the eruptions of old faithful geyser. The side road drives allowed us to see beautiful views of the river and rapids.

Visiting Yellowstone’s Old Faithful area was an unforgettable experience. The boardwalk trail takes you past a stunning collection of colorful hot springs and geysers, each unique and mesmerizing. Of course, the highlight is Old Faithful itself—it erupts with impressive power and beauty about every 90 minutes, and it’s amazing to watch the steam and water shoot high into the sky. The entire area is well maintained, easy to explore, and filled with natural wonders at every turn. We used a stroller to carry a 4 years-old around the trail without any problem.

Absolutely incredible. Went the last day that the park was open and it was completely empty. Parked right next to Old faithful and had six whole sections just to ourselves.

This was the best hike in Yellowstone, no crowds, full of wold bisons and just pure tranquillity. I went in May and it started hailing half way through my hike, absolutely stunning!

Vast valley with multiple turnout areas to park and take a look around, if you are lucky you might see wildlife really close but otherwise you'll probably need some kind of spotting scope or binoculars to make out wildlife further away

Lamar Valley is located along the Soda Butte Creek before you arrive at Tower Fall, if you enter the Park from the NE entrance, from Cooke City, MT. It is a wonderful place to observe wildlife and this can be done right from your vehicle. The herds of buffalo seem acclimated to the traffic and will graze right alongside the road. Mamas and their calves with the bulls on patrol. We stayed right in the car and let them come to us, and this is a traffic stopping show.

Worth the drive in the AM. Will jot disappoint with bison. Go out the northeast gate to bear highway. Drive about 20 miles and turn around and drive back to Yellowstone to see cascade maintians. Stop by the town to shop real quick. The gem/stone store is reasonably priced if you like crystals

Definitely agree with its title, lots of wildlife and a great highway to hit up to see lots of Bison and other wildlife.

Outstanding wildlife from a safe distance

Great location for Bison

Pretty. Easy walk. Bathrooms and water refilling station. No pets.

💯 recommended place to visit breathtaking views 🥰 However it might get busy and might not get parking space but be patient🤞

Yellowstone is a trip of a lifetime. The falls were one of the many highlights. Seeing a rainbow was a reminder of the beauty and wonder.

Gorgeous! The Falls is so pretty. It was flowing pretty heavily when we visited. Not too far of a walk down, but if there is ice, it can be slippery going down to see it. There are some stairs, so caution should be taken.

Upper Falls in Yellowstone National Park is located on the Grand loop road close to Hayden Valley and Canyon Village depending from where you are coming. The parking lot size is pretty decent with restrooms. This is the Yellowstone river which drops to the upper falls and then drops again to lower falls and finally flowing through the canyon. The view of the gushing water is a great spectacle. You can also feel the mist on your face.

Huge fan of waterfalls and the Upper Falls certainly did not disappoint! Haven't made it to the Grand Canyon yet but the ravine coming away from the falls has to resemble it on a small scale. The falls themselves were really beautiful and the scenery in the back drop were out of this world. There were some neat hikes to it as well which is always a plus!

This was the highlight of our trip. It was an overcast and rainy day, but the view was amazing. We drove across the bridge to the first parking lot. From there we took the trail up to artist point. It was a long hike in a paved trail, with a lot of elevation change. The views along the way were superb though.

This is a picturesque canyon within Yellowstone National Park, known for its impressive rock formations and powerful waterfalls. The stunning upper and lower waterfalls are a spectacular sight. The canyon is popular for sightseeing and hiking

A Magnificent Gem in Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone's Grand Canyon is an absolute gem, offering a truly magnificent and awe-inspiring view of its majestic canyon and powerful waterfalls. A short walk from the convenient parking lot leads you to photo platforms with impressive views of the scenery. Along the way, you are treated to beautiful sights of mountains, trees, and waterfalls, making the journey as picturesque as the destination. This is a must-see location, known for its incredible rock formations and stunning upper and lower waterfalls. The area is very popular for sightseeing and hiking, so it is highly recommended to arrive early to avoid the big crowds. There are also many nice hiking trails in the area for those who wish to explore further. Overall, this is a spectacular and worthwhile stop on any trip to Yellowstone National Park.

Definitely worth the stop. Come early to avoid the big crowds. Nice hiking trails in the area as well.

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is one of those places that stops you in your tracks. The moment you step onto the overlook at Artist Point, the entire canyon opens up — massive golden walls, the thundering Lower Falls, and a sweeping view that looks like it was designed to be Yellowstone’s postcard. The trails around the canyon are easy to follow, and you can choose your level of adventure: quick overlooks for families, or longer walks along the rim if you want more space and better photo angles. The colors in the canyon shift with the sunlight, so every visit feels a little different. Traveler Tip: Parking fills fast in the middle of the day — aim for early morning or late afternoon for the best lighting and thinner crowds.

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is absolutely stunning—pictures don’t do it justice. The colors of the canyon walls, ranging from gold to deep rust, are surreal, especially when the sun hits them just right. The Lower Falls are massive and powerful, and you can feel the mist from some of the viewpoints. We stopped at both Artist Point and Lookout Point, both offer incredible views.

It was absolutely stunning …golden cliffs, roaring falls, and postcard-perfect views. It’s popular for a reason… just be ready to share the magic with a crowd!

Beautiful canyon, it’s very colorful! Definitely worth seeing if you go to Yellowstone.

Amazing view on the waterfall and canyon. I definitely recommend you to come here if you are nearby. You can park nearby or take the hiking trail.

Artist Point in Yellowstone National Park offered breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the roaring Lower Falls, a place so beautiful it felt like standing inside a painting.

Stunning, you’ll feel like u walked into a painting and your pictures will resemble post cards - sometimes it is difficult to believe it is real and not a painting. Short walk and well worth the stop!

extremely beautiful landscape, must visit

The best overlook in Yellowstone. Accessible parking, maintained paths, and the excitement of being gored by a bear on the nearby trail. Artist point features a couple platforms overlooking both the Lower Falls (big, distance waterfall) and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

Best view of the Yellowstone grand canyon!! Best view because you see the lower falls and the canyon in the same frame. We loved it. Parking was plenty for May. Winds were strong at this point, make sure u cover yourself if u are traveling in winter.

This is a fantastic overlook from a point on the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Great views up the canyon to the Lower Falls.

So so many places to stop along this lake. Mountainous backgrounds, excellent sunrises and sunsets, and plenty of geysers and trails.

During our trip to the park, we drove around searching for a nice spot to see Yellowstone Lake. We finally found it when we arrived at the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center. This spot offers the opportunity to walk around the beautiful shoreline and enjoy the vastness of Yellowstone Lake. We were stunned by the size of the lake and its undeniable beauty. At this spot, you can see the endless blue lake stretching out before you, providing breathtaking scenery. Yellowstone Lake is the largest high-elevation lake (above 7,000 feet) in North America, covering approximately 136 square miles (352 square kilometers) with over 110 miles (177 kilometers) of shoreline. It sits at an elevation of about 7,732 feet (2,357 meters) above sea level. After seeing it for ourselves, it easily became a must-see destination that we would recommend to anyone visiting Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone Lake was one of my favorite parts about Yellowstone National Park. It’s a huge lake, with very beautiful views. It reminded me of the California coast. There are lots of places to pull off along the coast with picnic tables. Some areas are thermal and you can see steam coming out on the shore.

Yellowstone lake is huge one and its around 20 miles around. We took several stops where there was spectacular views. Its a beautiful view and drive

Lake Yellowstone is huge as a sea, cold as a ice. It is amazing experience, with the beautiful clear water. I saw thousands of the lakes, but this lake was something special. Wild, cold and tempting in same way. I will be back for sure...

Yellowstone lake cover 136 surface miles and it is the largest high elevation lake in North America. Interesting fact is that there is no fishing allowed from the “fishing bridge” since 1973. Yellowstone Lake runs through numerous parts of the park but we found the best view to be on East entrance road. I would highly recommend Steamboat Point picnic ground for awesome views of the water during a stop for lunch or dinner. Steamboat is just a mile or so east of the fishing bridge. Enjoy.

There is nothing I could say that could better describe the beauty of this lake inside a beautiful park. Hard to miss if going through the park but make sure and stop.

Have to be honest — I love having Red Lodge Mountain so close. It holds a lot of sentimental value for me, especially since I taught my kids to ski there. But over time, it's unfortunately become my least favorite ski resort. The first thing that hits you when you arrive is the strong smell of what seems like a failing septic system — and it's hard to ignore. This season, not once did I make it through a day without spending a frustrating amount of time stuck on a lift, swinging in the air as it repeatedly stopped. The snow has been marginal at best, and the facilities are clearly old and outdated, with no real signs of improvement. It feels like a resort that's been left behind by years of deferred maintenance. At the end of the day, we're lucky to have it nearby — but if there were another decent option close by, I'd go there instead.

Terrible prices, horrible service, out dated everything. Cheap food for high prices, they don't even know how to cut potatoes into fries, so buy them bagged etc. $100+ for a full day of whatever they call it now. Outrageous, nothing has been updated. We call it Montana's Murder Mountain now, not Rock dodge anymore. Who ever the owners are, should feel ashamed for there rebranding, but nothing else. Literally go anywhere else and have a fantastic weekend of lodging and ski/snowboarding... my review is nor alone, leaving reviews has become a thing of the past nearly. We just don't go anymore. One good thing though.Is no one was there today the day before Easter it was dead.We had so much good parking.Which should be unheard of....

Couldn't pay me to return. Thanks for the %50 off vouchers I will never use. It's absurd when a resort puts so much money into IT systems, marketing and a rebrand when your infrastructure is crumbling. I will spend the extra time and money to head out to bridger and big sky in the future. Absolutely absurd that I was still charged the online price I paid 3 weeks ago, since you are charging $75 at the booth. I should've gone to bridger for the price. Paid more than a bridger pass, for two lifts. And less terrain than my home mountain. Truly the worst time I've ever had a ski resort. Biggest let down ever

ABSOLUTELY Loved It. People friendly BEAUTIFUL Views PEACEFUL smells great clean fresh

Everything was rad. Everything, other than it being a major task getting my nephew who is wheelchair bound into the cafeteria and the restaurant…. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s a ski resort. But, he is able to use a bi-ski… But, like I said all that was amazing being that it was his first time skiing. Just would have been nice had there been an easier way to get him into the eating facilities. We ended up waiting to eat until we got back to Billings….

Word to the wise. Check the weather the morning of your visit. Not sure that would've helped today (Feb 5, 2025). ALL lifts were closed today on WIND HOLD. I drove up from Billings with my 3 kids waited for 3 hours hoping our trip wasn't wasted. NO LUCK. We drove home massively disappointed!!!!! This was our first time up there together in 2 years. Red Lodge Mountain is a MASSIVE GAMBLE. Very Uncertain place to ski. We will be going to Bridger Bowl for now on. I know they can't control the weather, but Wow. Get a poma or something! Y'all piss me off!!!!

We did total archery at the ski hill. It was 8 and 1/2 mi and 5 and 1/2 hours to start and complete the course

First off, if you're on a motorcycle, be aware that there are some blind curves on the road leading to the visitor center. The road itself isn't in the best condition, but I've seen worse, so just FYI. Overall, this is a pretty nice state park located in Billings. The visitor center has a small gift shop, nice toilets, and a few displays of artifacts on display. The caves themselves are nice, but I could only see three pictographs and the signage indicates many more. I can only assume that they've simply succumbed to the elements and aren't visible anymore. The park itself is nice with some nice rock features surrounding the area, so that's a nice bonus. This park is definitely worth a stop if you're in the area or passing through.

Cool spot to check out if you're in the Billings area. Drive out to the park is filled with beautiful opportunities for pictures as well. There's a small gift shop that also offers information about the park itself. There's a small fee to access the park but it's well worth the price.

1st time at this park. Very well played out and excellent visitor center. History at its finest but be patient to see all the drawing on the caves since time, people and mother nature are erasing them all too soon.

Quite a bit of walking and not much reward. You can barely make out some of the red marks and they can't be that old because they are rifles. So if you just already a different hike, really geek out on this type of thing, or are studying... Then by all means. And I do not mean to downplay its cultural significance, it's important to preserve and study, but compared to other sites in AZ or NM.

This is a small park and you can probably see what you need in 30 minutes to an hour. Convenient to the interstate. Cool history but not much left of the pictographs. I like visiting state parks so I was happy to add this one to my list, but don't have a huge desire to return.

$8 for non residents. Very pretty, trail to one of the caves is paved, very steep, but paved. The other trails are gravel.

Neat place. We were the only one there at opening. Cave paintings are cool. Saw a rabbit and smooth green snake too

Great history here about Lewis and Clark. Walkway with information signs boardwalk leading up the pillar. My only complaint is it’s closed M-W and it looked really cool. Right along the Yellowstone River. Cool place!

Always driven past the signs and decided to stop today on our way home to Idaho. So glad we did! My children loved it and really enjoyed the nature and hike. We got to see two cute little fox babies and happened to have a snake pass in front of us. The kids were excited. I just loved the history and everything this place had to offer and teach you. Definitely stop here and check it out!

Definitely worth the trip and if you are capable of stairs or a hike, you can go up to the signature of William Clark explorer from 1806 or to the top of the Rock. The interpretive center is well done and need your support as a National monument.

Nice stop off I-94. During the winter months (Oct-Apr) you have to walk to the interpretative center, which is closed, but you still can park at the gate an walk the 1 mile to Pompeys Pillar. Any other time of the year you can drive to the center. Lot's of history, give yourself about 2 hours or more to really soak it all in. The stairs to the top of the pillar are easy with rest stops if needed.

Great National historic site to visit! See the only physical evidence that there is of the Lewis and Clark expedition (other than journals). The park is huge and very well kept, parking for cars, trucks and rv's is available. The visitor center is fairly new/modern and houses a moderately sized museum and exhibits, as well as a small gift shop and restrooms. The actual pillar is approximately a quarter mile walk from the center has picnic tables and benches, trees and shade. There is a pretty good wooden staircase up to the carvings of visitors to the area in the past, including "W. Clark ", as well as others...and the date signed. Staircase goes to a viewing platform at the top. You can see for 10+ miles on a clear day on all directions. Not handicap/wheelchair accessible or for those that cannot handle a 5 or 6 flight, 200 foot climb. This is something you gotta see if you are in the area...take the time! And don't forget the bug spray! Was there on August....dropped a star for this. Mosquitoes ravage you and your pets. Gift shop has OFF wipes for $1.50.... and do very little to help, as well as costly.....should hand these out!

The Pillar is 25 miles east of Billings along I-94, and overlooks the Yellowstone River. In 1806, Captain William Clark visited here and carved his name into the rock. It stands 200 hundred feet high and is quite noticeable from a distance. There is a boardwalk and several sets of stairs that lead up to the engraving and then to the top of the pillar. The stairs are easy enough, but there is not an alternative way to get up there. The view is quite lovely and at certain times of day animals can be seen. There is a very nice Visitor's Center with helpful rangers, and nice restrooms. Parking is also easy. Be sure to visit some of the exhibits on the grounds.

This was a really neat place with amazing views of the yellowstone river. Moderate activity level due to having to climb steps but well worth it. Very well maintained and nice informative museum on site. Pretty cool piece of history to check out. Might even see little critters checking you out.

I love the story here but it’s so sad that our United States would do this to its owe citizens. It really makes you think, could this happen again?! But a great tribute to those who were imprisoned by their own country.

A very educational place to stop & remember/ reflect on one of the darkest parts of US history. You could take anywhere from 1 hour to half a day, here. There is an inside museum area for a fee, as well as areas you can walk around outside and read about the history of when USA rounded up US citizens after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Well worth the so if you're a history person

Absolutely a must see. Recalls a dark chapter in American history. Very well done museum & displays on the Japanese American experience during WW2. We were so glad we stopped here to visit.

If you want to see what the government did to the Japanese Americans at the beginning of WW2 this is a must. At the start of the war they were made to go to these intermittent camps. They could only bring what they could carry. Had to leave their homes and businesses. Held behind bobwire and armed guards until 1945 at the end of the war then we're given $25.00 and a ticket to return home. They lost their businesses and all that was in their homes was stolen. Now, these camps were not like the camps the Jewish people had. The Japanese Americans were not treated like in the death camps. Go see it .

Sad but true historical stop. Museum, movie and grounds are a must see.

A must stop if you are anywhere near the area. A great museum. Very informative. A sad but important part of history.

Excellent displays depicting a timeline of Japanese American immigration and incarceration. Excellent display of lifelong relationship between US congressman Norman Mineta and US Senator Alan Simpson who met as Boy Scouts at Heart Mountain.
