Vacationing in Gold West Country - Montana
A true vacation means the chance to explore different experiences, different times, places and destinations that whisk you away from the here and now. Montana has those kinds of places Feeding the beautiful mountain valleys of Southwestern Montana are the rivers that spoil fisherman and a colorful history of ghose towns, mining camps, historical sites and wide open spaces.
Montana is a vast and varied state of mountains, canyons, river
valleys, forests and caverns. It's the 4th largest state in the
nation but with our popularion under 1 million, it's actually the sixth
least-populated state. Ah... there is room to breathe and nowhere
is the air fresher.
The myths and legends of the American West are still alive here from
the historic ghost towns Virginia City to Butte and Anaconda, the site
of the famous Copper King Wars, and a very short jaunt from The Fish
Creek House Bed and Breakfast in Whitehall,
Butte also has something few other cities can claim – a rich and
incredible history. Visiting Butte, even today, one can literally step
back into time. Butte is also one of only two cities to be recognized
as a National Historic Landmark – with more than 4000 historic
buildings of one kind or another. Butte is literally teeming full of
historic buildings – and makes other “restored” historic towns seem
rather lame in comparison. And if all the historical buildings and
“ghost signs” aren’t enough, there is always the every present old
mining rigs (over 40 of them dot the sky in Butte) to help remind
visitors what built Butte into the town that it is today.
As the Lewis and Clark expedition commemorates its bicentennial,
Montana is again a central part of the Lewis and Clark travels.
As you can wind your way west through the "City of Murals" here in
Whitehall and retrace the historic trails of the Lewis and Clark
expedition, stop by at the Fish Creek House You'll feel
right at home in their beautiful log home Bed & Breakfast, and will
happily assist you in planning your visit around Big Sky country.
Then there's the watchable wildlife... A pair of binoculars will come
in handy as you discover the pleasures of one of Montana's most popular
pastimes, wildlife watching. Elk, deer and antelope roam freely
on our property. A good tip, grab a cup of coffee while we
whip up breakfast since according to the experts, the best
viewing time is dawn.
We can assist you with other professional guide services.
Whether you're visiting Montana for a hunt or fishing on one of the
world class fly fishing rivers nearby, or if you simply prefer to
relax Fish Creek House is a wonderful home to come back
to... while you're away.
