Worst experience. Our family was traveling from Montana to Idaho and needed to stop somewhere safe…read moreto sleep/camp. It was after midnight. There were a bunch of tent sites available, we called the Sula camp host and left a voicemail letting them know of our intentions and identified the vehicle we were in. The online Camp Sula website was not working either. There were signs up by the camp store that indicated if we parked in the parking lot we could be towed. So we opted to park far away from everyone at an empty tent site. Went to sleep with the family. At approximately 8 am individual aggressively started pounding on our truck windows waking us up. Presumably the camp host, he did not identify himself, he was armed and angry. I tried shake his hand and introduce myself but he declined. It was hostile. He scolded me that we were loud and inconsiderate and should have just slept on the side of the road. He asked what our plan was and I said we wanted to stay here and pay. He asked for $40 and asked debit , credit or cash? I said debit and he said cash only. He took $40 and walked off not giving us any instructions, expectation or receipt for the $40. We went back to sleep. We woke up and messaged camp host 11:50 am for receipt $40 and to touch base. There were bathrooms there that had keypads on them we were not provided access to, and to inform him of his mis information of our presence and behavior there. The surrounding neighbors when asked had not been bothered early morning when we arrived. Camp host no response. Immediately after messaging the camp host, the camp host text an RV camper named "Bill" who was a couple sites down. They informed "Bill" to tell us that we needed to leave because the site we were in had been rented. "Bill " had text messages for the host stating we're trespassing and we needed leave. Still don't understand why we're charged $40 and then asked to leave upon only being there a couple hours. It was awkward and unbelievably un welcoming experience, I would have paid $40 not to have that experience. Horrible.

Knowing the difference between these two types of places is important. The Bear Creek overlook, nestled in a slightly hidden but basically very accessible location, is definitely a "share with others" kind of place: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bear-creek-overlook-victor?select=UjA3dqSObaa9wFLG3-emJA#UjA3dqSObaa9wFLG3-emJA There is a trail there, for one. And it's fairly short, for another. And the payoff is immense. As Bitterroot Mountain guidebook authors have pointed out, it's like a summit-view without the summit effort: a sweeping panorama of granite, larch, and pine and thousands upon thousands of feet of vertical nothingness a hop, skip, and a jump away. Well, really only a hop would do it if you get close enough to the overlook's brink. But that's kind of the point: you don't need to be a daredevil or a hiking fanatic to get here. No crampons or climbing ropes needed. Even a backpack would be optional. It's like Yosemite without the crowds. Note: the drive to the trailhead is on a dirt forest service road and is a little rutted but you don't need 4x4 or high clearance to get here. It snows out by November and melts only in June, but in those months in-between, the overlook is pure Montana gold, and that's worth sharing with others.

My husband went to high school in Missoula and we were back for his reunion so we decided to take a…read moremoment and do this hike. It's not that far out of town from Missoula and has a decent size parking lot. There's also a few trails that you can take one being the Canyon Creek Trail, and the other being the Blodgett Canyon. We went with Blodgett Canyon. This trail is approximately a 3 mile hike up to the top where it is spectacularly beautiful! The hike itself is not that difficult although there are a few steeper parts. The view along the way is spectacular, so we didn't hike very fast...once we got to the top we hung out for about half an hour just looking at all the amazing beauty surrounding us. We were also there on a day when it looked like someone had gotten engaged at the top as we found a trail of rose petals, and a heart of rose petals at the top. I say kudos to whichever guy planned this!!! It was so cute and such a beautiful backdrop for an engagement!

What a beautiful hike and way to spend some time enjoying nature!…read more For the overlook trail, you are mostly going up hill the whole time so be prepared for a bit of an incline. The trail has a lot of trees so a good portion of it is shaded, but parts are still in the sun. Depending on the time you come, this trail gets pretty busy so be prepared for that. There is a nice opening spot up top so you can hangout and enjoy the views. I recommend packing a lunch or little picnic to enjoy up there before heading back down.

Rooms were clean, comfortable beds and the bath towels are thick and absorbent; something you don't expect from small motels. Oh, and there were two towels per bed, more if you needed! Tv, WiFi, and ability to connect your streaming services with Coffee service in our room. We had a kitchenette setup but didn't need. Short walk to town with several historical items from Lewis & Clark, Sacajawea, old west buildings and a beautiful Veterans Memorial across the street. We'll be back next year!

Hello. Mountain Spirit Inn Darby Montana is a lovely historic Inn walking distance to downtown…read moreDarby Montana. It is a place that offers a home away from home feel. It has been my go to place when coming for all medical services in Hamilton. Many years I have spent here. Even a week at a time in all seasons. No longer spending way to much in Hamilton Montana for a chain hotel that is not as clean as what Mountain Spirit Inn offers at a afforable price. Sadly I see a hateful review a one star from a disgruntled individual who is well known in this small town. Kinda like Yellowstone being filmed in Darby. How cool!! I take what this person says as a grain of salt. Toss it over your shoulder and move on to truthful reviews. I was here this winter when this person stayed here for quite awhile due to lack of affordable housing. The owner gives folks the respect you need for privacy by allowing a do not disturb sign to be hung. So if you dont let housekeeping in to freshen room or replace towels then thats a You problem. It is a very disgruntled person who wrote this review. So without this quaint clean motel I guess this dude would of been?? Gratitude matters not whiney folks that act entitled for their poor choices and lack of manners. Its much better to stay at Mountain Spirit Inn than be on the street homeless in the dead of winter. Never have I seen such a disgusting review full of deceitful statements. If you were so unhappy then why didn't you check out sir?? Never have I had a problem in over 4 years and if I did the owner resolves it to the best of there ability. One of the few places I've stayed that always washes the bedspread, blankets etc after each person's check out. This is a quaint motel that fits budget minded customers with a home away from home stay. I pray the 1 star complainer receives the blessings he needs in his life to be thankful for not being homeless in Darby because the owner offered him a place to stayed at this motel. Folks in Darby know the truth and this poor review filled with hate is sad testimony from an unhappy soul. I will always support this business because the owner helps those that need a safe clean place to stay. If you were so unhappy for so long then you should of left! Yet instead stayed at this motel cause zero place to go. Fact!! I was here and this dude was not happy even if you said hello. So folks dont believe the one star review because this person is wrong and has nothing better to do but complain falsehoods. Live Mountain Spirit Inn cause I get the privacy I need, the safety and most of all its a home away from home, so I dont nick pick over little things in a motel thats not a big name chain and offers affordability. Please support this simple clean place without all the bells and whistles of a greedy chain motel/ hotel that nickel and dime you to up cost. So grateful to be staying again in April 4 days while attending to medical care in Hamilton. I travel 125 miles one way to stay here. Saw that mean review and so I am calling this guy out!!! So God knows how kind folks are in Darby helping those in need of a place when they had nowhere to go in winter. Never listen to a one star review its usually haters who cant look in a mirror at their own choices. Looking forward to every stay in Darby at Mountain Spirit Inn. Support Mountain Spirit Inn. Thanks. Plus being able to walk downtown for a meal. Support Mountain Spiirt Inn please.
