The Gates of the Mountains are located in Montana, about 21 miles north of Helena on the Missouri River. The area was named by Lewis and Clark.

Lewis wrote, "this evening we entered much the most remarkable clifts that we have yet seen... I called it the gates of the rocky mountains."

The stunning cliffs towering over the river are Madison Limestone.

They are gorgeous to behold and best seen via a boat tour.

The wildlife in this canyon is abundant and awe-inspiring. Visitors may see bald eagles, mountain lions, black bears, or even river otters.
