Welcome Message
We are midway between glorious Glacier and Yellowstone national parks.
Here's an enviable spot to camp, midway between glorious Glacier and Yellowstone national parks. But don't hurry away until you've had a chance to explore Butte. It's easy: Just hop onto "Old Number One," the trolley car that boards next door at the Chamber of Commerce. Berkeley Pit is an engineering marvel, the largest truck-operated open-pit copper mine in America. Mansions of old-time mining barons cluster in Butte neighborhoods. After sightseeing, lace up hiking boots or maybe golf shoes-Jack Nicklaus designed Butte's Old Works Golf Course. Fish in streams running near your campsite or stroll a trail and feed the geese at a neighboring game preserve. Then treat yourself: The KOA deli serves such appetizing fare that locals often drop in for a bite.
