He had an amazing knowledge of the caves and their history. We also enjoyed the gift shop and the restaurant after. We were starving from our cave exploration so the Bison burger hit just right!! Yum! We both expressed that we think our kids would also love the caves!! This is a gorgeous hour drive from Bozeman that I also thoroughly enjoyed.

You must reserve the cave tours online before going. I had problems booking the tour, because my…read moreprimary browser would not display the CAPTCHA (are you a robot) link. They do not sell tickets at the site, and most tours are sold out by the date of the tours. There are two tours, both requiring a mile of walking round-trip to the cave entrance and back. The gravel road is wide and flat, and I do not understand why they don't have a shuttle, since the groups are fairly small. Also, we arrived early, but they refused to let us go on an earlier tour, even though there were several no-shows. So, we had to sit around for an extra hour, for no reason. They have a nice little visitor center with a good video, which our guide basically repeated on the tour. There is also a cafe and ample parking. We took the easier Paradise tour. From the cave entrance, we walked an additional 300 yards round-trip to the first of the two rooms on the tour. They say the other tour has a few additional, small rooms, and requires climbing up and down hundreds of steps, and squeezing through tight, slippery pathways. On our tour, the first room was small, but nice. The second room is the largest on either tour, and was quite beautiful. Even so, it was a lot of driving and walking for a couple of rooms. I've been to several, much more extensive caverns. I wouldn't put this at the top of my to do list in Montana, but the main cavern room is beautiful and the park is very scenic.

We were trying out our new trailer, and we ended up in the best spot too! The store has most everything you need, and we visited it at least 10 times on the full day we were there. It's right down the road from the boat launch on canyon ferry lake, and they are so friendly! They even have a bunch family games you can borrow for free! We played ax throwing, gigantic connect 4, and corn hole, but there was a lot more like lawn darts and other stuff. The blonde lady that I didn't get her name, was so nice! And my friend Sue, from the Mint, she works there too, and it was wonderful! They even lent us a bbq so we could make dinner! And they drove it to our site! Really, it's hard to imagine them being any more accommodating to our family! Good job KOA! We will be back!

We were wanting to explore and hike the Helena area after visiting downtown…read more Quick search of best things to see and do, and Spring Meadow Lake state park came up. I think it was overrated. Only a few miles from downtown, and I think it was $8 fee for daily use. We expected to be there for quite a while but quickly realized when we got there it was probably going to be an hour or less. We walked around the lake 2x and I took some pictures and it was probably about an hour. There definitely was not much to do or see. There is a lake and there was a paddleboard class, there are ducks and birds, and there were some people eating lunch. I would not say this is a hidden gem or a gem, but if you want a park in the area it serves that purpose. I was expecting more based on the glowing recommendation for a top thing to see and do in Helena.

There are also some older playground toys and lots of swings not too far from the playground that were fun! Happy I got to visit before the flooding.

Ignore Google Maps when it warns you that part of the road here is unpaved for the last leg of the…read moredrive. It's actually recently paved, so you have a smooth ride to the parking lot! The path to the waterfall is also paved with asphalt so it's a smooth walk up and great for strollers. There are two vault toilets at the parking lot, and a small picnic area near the entrance of the parking lot. This is an amazing waterfall. Water cascades down a columnar basalt face so it's particularly stunning. I've seen amazing columnar basalt formations (Devils Tower, Devils Postpile), but none with a water element. It's very memorable. I saw some people trying to scramble up the rocks to get to the top of the waterfall, but I'm not sure how safe that is. From satellite photos it looks like there's just forest up there anyways.

The ride there is a bit intense with many curves so I'd recommend to take a bag for those that may get car sick. I'll be coming back to Montana, just for this beauty!

Justin and Judy are incredibly kind and giving individuals, and their passion for the land is manifested through their dialogue, and that simple look of absolute adoration they both bear. Being from California, I am not accustomed to seeing such a great mass of land and understanding that it is managed and maintained by a few honest people. Though I cannot possibly fathom what drive and dedication it takes to care for the ranch and creek, I do however know, without a doubt, that when it comes to Yelp, five stars is an understatement.

With over 1.5 miles of fishable riffles, runs, and pools, the spring creek is a classic trout stream offering great dry fly, nymphing and even streamer water. Spring creek fishing is like nothing else in fly fishing. Consistent cold temperatures create an ecological niche for insect hatches that feed a healthy trout population in a clear riffle-and-pool creek meant for wading. The challenge of sight fishing to large and wary trout is something that must be experienced by every trout fisherman.
