Local Area Travel back in time to 1864 when prospectors were anxiously seeking to strike it rich with the discovery of gold. Four such prospectors named the Four Georgians did just that in a gulch off Prickly Pear Creek that they named Last Chance Gulch and birthed the area we know as the state capital of Helena, Montana. That empty gulch quickly grew into a bustling city and the “Queen City of the Rockies” flourished. In 1875, Helena became the state capital and is a culturally rich city that has activities to appease every type of person. Last Chance Gulch has been transformed into Helena’s Main Street and is the foundation of a beautiful outdoor walking mall with unique boutiques and wonderful little coffee shops and restaurants. In addition, Helena has spectacular buildings that display grand architecture of a historical time. Buildings that you will surely not want to miss include the St. Helena Cathedral which is an excellent example of Geometric Gothic Architecture. Another is the Moorish Revival Civic Center that towers over the downtown area. You will want to check out the Queen Anne style Original Governor’s Mansion with its twenty rooms that have all been restored with the elegance that was of that time period. The Montana State Capitol Building is breathtaking with numerous paintings of momentous Montana events. Helena offers much to do ranging from theaters, farmer’s markets, the symphony concerts, the fair, and their popular Alive@Five gatherings. There are art galleries and museums to visit, tons of eclectic shopping, local microbreweries, an epic trail system, and a busy local calendar to always allow for a good time and memory making. If you prefer outdoor activities, you can travel few miles to where the Missouri River flows through Holter Lake, Hauser Reservoir, and Canyon Ferry Reservoir. There are opportunities for fishing, swimming, boating, water-skiing, and more! With its scenic surrounding mountains and its rich history, Helena has something for everyone! The information is provided by outside sources and deemed reliable but not guaranteed by the brokerage firm, its agents or representatives. Buyers and their agents are encouraged to conduct due diligence, and verify to their satisfaction, the information contained herein regarding property. Area Attractions Great Divide The Great Divide allows for skiing in the Montana sunshine! Only 23 miles from Helena and 95 miles from Great Falls, the lift tickets are reasonably priced and there are 3 main mountain lifts. There is a base lodge that offers up a cup of warm cocoa or food. Holter Lake The emerald, green waters of the spanning lake stretched out in front of the property provides the difference between country living and utterly wonderful recreation and lake living! The lake is formed by Holter Dam on the Missouri River. Holter lake is popular for its fishing and for its water recreational attributes. Many visit the lake to camp, boat (non- motor and motorized), water ski, surf, wake board, swim, tube, float, hike, photograph, and view wildlife and birds. With boundless recreation opportunities, the lake makes a busy spot in the summer months among locals. The lake is a moderated sized reservoir at 3660 acres. Access to the lake is wonderful. Several boat ramps exist along the shore with a number of designated fishing access sites. Located in the west-central portion of the state near Helena, Montana, there are also well-maintained campgrounds available. The lake is surrounded by rugged and majestic mountains and sparsely wooded hills. This area is also rich with history as Lewis and Clark made their famous trek through this area 200 years ago. You’ll be stunned by the views of the Sleeping Giant Wilderness Study Area and the Gates of the Mountains is a beloved trip via watercraft. Fishing The Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks stock Holter Lake annually with significant number of rainbow trout. To catch a sizable trout, you will need to take a boat out sink lines deep. Spin fishing is the most popular method used on the lake because of the various depths. Large spoons or live bait is used to catch the bigger fish. In addition to rainbow trout, Holter Lake also has mountain whitefish, brook trout, brown trout, pike, walleye and yellow perch. Fly fishing is less popular on the lake but below the dam is where the blue ribbon stretch of the Missouri River begins. There is one entity that draws thousands of visitors from all around the world to this area and that is the fishing. These waters are filled with nutrients from the cold tailwaters from the bottom of Holter Dam creating a smorgasbord of feed for those finicky fish. As a result, the population of rainbow and brown trout surge averaging at about 7000+ fish per mile of river. These fish are frequently greater than 10 inches in length! The river is a playground offering year-round fishing. In addition to the plethora of fishing access sites along Interstate 15, there are numerous streams and creeks in the area to tackle. From Holter Lake, Hauser Lake and Canyon Ferry Lake also provide excellent fishing and boating.

Reeder’s Alley/The Stone House (131 Reeder’s Alley) While Reeder’s Alley’s tiny apartments were always home to single men—first miners, then laborers, and finally elderly pensioners—one woman stands out in the alley’s history. Laura Duchesnay was born in France, and she and her husband collected rents from the tenants in Reeder’s Alley. Duches nay was known in the neighborhood as a bird doc- tor. She could heal the broken wings of wild birds that local children brought her. Duchesnay also bred and sold canaries by the hundreds, advertising “Canary Birds for Sale: Excel- lent Singers!” During her residence in Helena from 1919 to her death in 1933, Duchesnay apparently also worked with her husband selling moonshine, which they kept in a room beneath the building. This was during Prohibition, and people knew to line up at the Duchesnays during certain days of the month. There was always the danger that the revenue officer would come around and ask questions. So on those days, Laura brought out her many cages of canaries. If anyone asked why there was a line to her place in the alley, her customers could say, “We are just here to buy Laura’s canaries.” Her little songbirds served as a convenient front for quite a different enterprise.

    goldwest.visitmt.com | 800.879.1159 VISITOR’S GUIDE TO THE BEST OF MONTANA GOLD WEST COUNTRY 2012 TRAVEL PLANNER Mount Ascension, Helena (Tom Robertson) THE MONTANA YOU HAVE IN MIND IS THE ONE WE have IN store. When you think of Montana, what do you picture? Skyscraping ranges of snowcapped rock? Historic, cultural centers that tell of a proud, self-determined West? A cowboy tipping his hat to you as he passes by on a boardwalk? Herds of elk grazing in waist-deep bunch grass? A sky so wide it seems to swallow you up? Then you’re picturing Gold West Country, a stretch of Southwest Montana we humbly claim holds the best of what Montana is about. Its spirit, wildness, culture and charm. Its stunning beauty. Gold West Country is one of six tourism regions in the state. We are situated on the route from Yellowstone National Park to Glacier National Park. At our northern end sits the cowboy town of Augusta with its famed rodeo. At our center are Helena and Butte, cornerstones of Montana’s history. Our south is the famed Trout Triangle, a who’s who and what’s what of trout fishing and outdoor pursuits. (Donnie Sexton) Antelope (John Belobraidic) WWW.GOLDWEST.VISITMT.COM 1 AMID IT ALL, you’ll meet a diverse mix of friendly people — hoteliers, restaurateurs, shopkeepers, historians, ranchers, miners, fly anglers, cowboys (and girls) and more. You’ll have opportunities to glimpse the same wildlife Lewis and Clark marveled at more than two centuries ago — elk, black bears, mule deer, moose, golden eagles and perhaps even a gray wolf.
