Mount Helena

Mountain good for hiking, biking, fishing and viewing wildlife.

Reviewed By paulapJ6772GE

Helena is the only city in the US that has a mountain top for a city park. The activities abound. (I should know—I live on the border of the park and have a ringside seat.) People walk their dogs. Trail bikers whiz by. There are hikers galore on the many trails that lead to the top of the mountain or under the wonderful rock formation. My daughter hikes up and down whenever she comes to visit. I should add that there are are variety of trails for the easy to the challenging.

My son and I did both tours. The Canyon tour gives you more riding and the roads are a little narrower, which we liked. We saw more wildlife on the canyon tour including 2 coyotes, a fox, a bald eagle and lots of bison. On the Old Faithful tour, we only saw bison - but still enjoyed that tour. We used Two Tops clothing and paid for upgraded machines with heated seats, which was worth it. Stayed warm all day. Big trunk on machine that let you stow all your stuff. Our guides were Cameron and Owen - both were friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic.

Mount Sentinel

Landmark mountain identified with a huge letter "M" marking one of its entrances.

Reviewed By 2x2WineTasters

Had to make it up before my older body started to tell me otherwise. We made it! Start in the early morning as it is cooler. The paths themselves are rocky with loose rocks so going up and back down can be a little tricky if you aren't paying attention. The view is fantastic so be sure to have a camera! It took the 4 of us in our 60s about 35 minutes to get up and that was with short breaks once in awhile at some of the more steep switchbacks. It is worth the walk up and feeling of accomplishment when you make it up and sit on the M. Give it a try! You can do it!

Lone Peak

Lone Peak on Lone Mountain has an elevation of 11,166ft. With 300 degrees of in-bounds skiing & 360 degree views, it's a do not miss!

Reviewed By marcodL8041FK - Big Sky, United States

You get tt he top of Lone Peak at Big Sky Montana by taking a chairlift to the tram.. It is extreme in many ways. This is for real Experts, not Expert wanna bes, or for fool hardy people. One side goes to Liberty Bowl, one part leads to the Big Coulier, which is about an ungroomed 50% pitch for about 1,000 feet vertical. One part of the Peak goes to the Madison Base. You do NOT want to fall on sny side of the mountain. You could travel a long way befpre you finally stopped and who knows where your equipment is if you fall and cannot self arrest. SKi or board down at your own risk, and please, be very careful.
