Helena has a perfect day for everyone. For history buffs, take the tour train through Helena’s historic Last Chance Gulch and admire the mansion district once home to Helena’s gold mining millionaires. Adrenaline junkies will be satisfied running or biking through our 75 miles of trails or rafting the mighty Missouri River on a hot summer day. For those seeking solitude, spend a peaceful day fly-fishing and top it off with your favorite craft beer at a local brewery. Helena, like life, is whatever you make it.
