You Can Tour Many Of Montana’s Top Attractions Without Even Leaving Your Couch

Are you missing your favorite Montana attractions and natural wonders? While the only spring break most of us will be taking is to our own backyards, we can still see some of Montana's most prominent places through virtual tours. Thanks to a media production company called InsideMT, you can tour museums, parks, and even caverns without leaving the comfort of your couch. These are just a few of the incredibly realistic tours available.

1. Lewis and Clark Caverns (Whitehall)

Did you know Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park was Montana's first state park? If you haven't taken a cave tour yet, this is your chance to experience it virtually. What you won't experience virtually is claustrophobia or a fear of the dark.

2. Bannack State Park

Bannack is a ghost town in Beaverhead County with an incredible amount of history. It's one of Montana's most beloved treasures, and this footage is so realistic, you'll practically feel the warm sun on your skin.

3. Gallatin History Museum (Bozeman)

This museum delves into our regional history. And while it often takes a backseat to the nearby Museum of the Rockies, it has a lot to offer. Get an up-close-and-personal glance at the artifacts and exhibits at InsideMT.com.

4. First Peoples Buffalo Jump (Ulm)

First Peoples Buffalo Jump is a place many Montanans never see in person. And while it's definitely worth making the drive to walk in the footsteps of the First Peoples and thousands of buffalo, this virtual tour is definitely the next best thing.

5. Cathedral of Saint Helena (Helena)

It's impossible not to feel a little breathless when you step inside this enchanting cathedral for the first time... or the fifth time, for that matter. If you've been missing seeing it in person, take a virtual tour in the meantime. You can do everything but sit in a pew.
