Day Trips around Butte
Bannack State Historic Park
Visit their site |
South of Butte you will find Bannack State Park, where gold drew men to the Montana Territory in 1863. Many of the original buildings are preserved for a glimpse into the past.
|
Big Hole Battlefield
Visit their site |
From Butte travel south to the Big Hole Battlefield to see the interpretive center and walk to where the cavalry fired on Chief Joseph's band.
|
Lewis and Clark Caverns
Visit their site |
East of Butte is Lewis and Clark Caverns, Montana's first and best-known state park. Naturally air conditioned, these spectacular caves, lined with stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and helicitites, date back through time. See the geologic development, the history of early exploration and gain an insight into the delicate ecology of this world without light. Plan to spend a minimum of two hours to hike two miles on a guided tour through the caverns.
