Aptly encapsulating the spirit of the American West, Helena is a destination for all. Boasting nearly 120km (75 mi) of trails, there’s a lot waiting to be explored here. Else, the city’s historic roots are no less impressive – head out to the Montana State Capitol building, Mansion District, Carroll College campus, or one of the many amazing museums here and you’ll know what we mean. Step out to grab a taste of Helena’s booming food and beverage scene with a side of awesome live music. A trip to the “Queen City of the Rockies” is well worth it. You will find plenty of Vrbo vacation rentals for a ‘home away from home’ experience. If you want to indulge in luxury, you can book a room in a hotel with pool.
