Highlights include the state capitol (pictured here), where you can show yourself around or take a guided tour; good museums of art and local history; and the historic Last Chance Gulch and Mansions districts, rich in architecture from the late 19th and the beginning of the 20th century; the Gothic Revival Roman Catholic cathedral, completed in 1914; the city's oldest building, the Gold-Rush-era Pioneer Cabin; the Queen-Anne-style Original Governor's Mansion, built in 1888; and a pretty decent bar scene. Helena also makes a good base for exploring nearby sites like the 1860s ghost town Virginia City; the 1880s ghost town Elkhorn; the 1880s "semi-ghost town" Marysville; and the historic town of Butte (actually a bit more populous than Helena itself), founded as a copper mining camp in the early 1860s. Helena is also four hours from Yellowstone National Park. <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:8pt;"><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Helena_State_Capital,_Montana_-_panoramio.jpg" target="_blank">R.

You've got it, up in Montana's northwest next to the Canadian border. Encompassing more than<br /> 1,560m square miles of s pristine forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and spectacular lakes, and yes glaciers (though due to climate change most have significantly shrunk, and some have disappeared altogether), the park has more than 700 miles of trails and 13 magnificent camp sites; you can also get backcountry-camping permits. You can also spot wildlife; the mountain goat (above) is the park's symbol, and it's also home to bighorn sheep, moose, elk, bobcats, coyotes, cougars, grizzly bears, lynxes, and of course myriad species of birds. A true nature lover's delight! <br /><br />This is one of Tripatini member <a href="https://tripatini.com/members/HenryLIo">Henry LIo</a>'s <a href="https://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/united-states-usa-5-lesser-known-destinations" target="_blank">5 Fab, Lesser Known Places to Visit in the USA This Year</a>.<br /></span></p>
