#Hello, Helena, Montana!#
Helena is the capitol of the state of Montana. With about 30,000 people in the city proper and another 30,000 in the surrounding valley, it’s just the right size for me! Helena boasts a symphony, independent theatre, two local colleges, and hundreds of miles of great mountain biking:
There’s a great ski area (Great Divide) nearby, I ski there once or twice a week with my kids:
There are also a number of great oudoor chances to hang out by lakes and rivers, as well a fish or paddleboard, kayak, and canoe:
Hiking offers great views all around:
We have great parks, complete with free ice skating in the winter:
We have a wonderful downtown pedestrian area we call the “walking mall” with lots of small businesses:
AND I can walk to any of the three breweries from my house:
Blackfoot River Brewing:
Lewis and Clark Brewing:
TenMile Brewing:
That’s only the beginning! If you’re looking for an excellent vacation off the beaten path, this is the place. I honestly feel like I live my whole life in a vacation
