Just An Hour From Missoula, Hamilton Is The Perfect Montana Day Trip Destination
We’re just going to come right out and say it: If you haven’t been to Hamilton, you’re missing out on one of Montana’s finest gems. This little city of about 4,700 people has some serious charm, plenty of attractions, and it happens to be a gateway to an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities. Best of all, it’s such an easy drive from Missoula and the surrounding areas that you could easily make a day trip out of it.
Has it been a while since you’ve considered paying Hamilton a visit? We’ll give you a few good reasons to go for it.
It's also a fairly easy day trip destination if you live in Butte or Anaconda, although you'd have to leave a little earlier in the morning.
While the town used to revolve around the large Anaconda Copper Mine and the Bitter Root Stock Farm, these days, life here is a lot quieter.
Marcus Daly, also known as the Copper King, was a wealthy Irish immigrant who bought the house for his family's summer home in 1886. The perfectly preserved mansion has over 50 gorgeous rooms.
The museum is open five days a week (closed Sundays and Mondays), and the exhibits tell the stories of how Hamilton came to be.
But it's tough to top the legendary Naps Grill.
The burgers are constantly winning awards and were even named on a "top 50 burgers in the nation" list. And they truly live up to the hype.
Our state isn't exactly known for its wineries, but rest assured, this tasting room is 100% Montana.
Mike is a professional winemaker, and he creates some seriously good vino.
They produce 35-40 unique brews every year, and they're all made right here.
Montana's craft breweries are second to none, and this one is no exception.
This is the gem of the Bitterroot Valley, and the backdrop is breathtaking.
So… have you been to Hamilton lately? What’s your favorite thing to do in this cool small town?
