With A Trout Aquarium And Famous Huckleberry Shakes, The Coolest Gas Station In The U.S. Is Right Here In Montana

If you’ve ever road tripped across Montana — and we certainly hope you have — you already know that the Treasure State is full of hidden gems you can only experience by road trip. From our unique pit stops like the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar to our quirky roadside attractions, there’s nothing like a statewide road trip to remind you that it’s all about the journey, not the destination.

If your travels happen to take you down I-90 near the Idaho border, make sure to stop at the St. Regis Travel Center … but only if you feel like checking out some live trout while sipping on the best milkshake of your life.

The St. Regis Travel Center is located on Mullan Gulch Road just off of I-90's Exit 33 in the small town of St. Regis.
