The Day Trip Of A Lifetime You Can Only Take In Montana

The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is located at 201 South Canyon. It’s the only place in the state that allows you to see two of our most common wild animals up close. It’s open 365 days a year, and the bears there do not hibernate.

The animals here are rescued… for one reason or another, they were unable to survive in the wild or were labeled "nuisance bears" because they were becoming dangerously comfortable around humans. The Center gives them a second chance. Just look at this gorgeous wolf pack!

Drive up US-287 N for about 30 minutes and you’ll reach the beautiful Quake Lake.

On August 17, 1959, an earthquake struck southwestern Montana and sadly killed 28 people. The quake caused a landslide dam on the Madison River, traveling down the south flank of Sheep Mountain at 100 miles per hour. The faulting caused by the earthquake forced the waters of Hebgen Lake to shift violently. The landslide blocked the flow of the Madison River, which began to fill in the void upstream from the slide and create Quake Lake.

After all, you can camp in any state, but there’s nothing quite like camping under the Montana stars.
