 The pool by EllenH In the summer it is cool enough in the morning and high enough in elevation to enjoy the hot water and the other nearby attractions. In the winter, they have miles of groomed cross country ski trail and there is nothing better after cross country skiing then hot springs! They also have rooms, cabins, and a very cool lodge/restaurant. Leave a Comment

 Paradise valley by EllenH Montana is a huge, not very populated state so flying into one place and staying there would hardly give you the feel for what we are about. One of the roads out of Yellowstone National Park is from North Yellowstone to Livingston through the Paradise valley. (oh yea home to the rich and famous but ignore that) I am always amazed when I see the Paradise valley by not only how beautiful it is but how unpopulated it is. There are miles and miles of open gorgeous space. Leave a Comment Address: South of Livingston, north of Yellowstone.

 Soaking it up by EllenH This is an old hotel restored to the original 30's look and feel. The bedrooms are all art deco furniture and it has a very comfortable lobby where everyone hangs out. I did not want this under hotels because going to the Symes is not about a place to stay, it is an adventure in itself. The mineral water is the best I have ever been in and I try to find hot springs wherever I go. They have good music on Saturday nights and it is very inexpensive. Leave a Comment Address: 209 Wall st, Hot Springs, MontanaPhone: 406-741-2361Directions: Hot Springs is a very small town in the middle of the Flathead Indian reservation. The Symes is one of its main attractions.Website: http://www.ronan.net/~hscofc/symes.htm

 A Carousel for Missoula by EllenH Ok this may seem kind of hokey to some but if you are in Missoula you really should check out the carousel. A carousel for Missoula is the first fully hand carved carousel to be built in the U.S. since the depression. Volunteers from Missoula and around spent thousands of hours carving, painting, sanding, restoring mechanical parts, and fund raising to construct one of the fastest carousels in the country (and it is fast). And it is fun for big and small kids alike and they really do have the brass ring thing. Leave a Comment Address: 101 carousel drive, Caras park, MissoulaPhone: 406-549-8382Directions: Downtown on the Clark Fork river.

 looking into blogett canyon by EllenH This is only a ten minute drive from down town Hamilton and the hike up the overlook is a relatively easy 45 minute hike so just about anyone can handle it, the view from the top is spectacular. Leave a Comment Address: Hamilton west sideDirections: its huge, kind of hard to miss, or just ask anyone on the street.

 Cooke City and Soda Butte by melissa_bel Cooke City is an old mining town and the end of the highway. Dominated by the towering Soda Butte, this sleepy little town offers a rest for the traveller and his one of the access to Yellowstone National Park. Coffee can be drunk, bikes can be rented... a few miles further, you will reach Silver Gates and the entrance of Yellowstone National Park. For the rest of the story, visit my Yellowstone page and for more pictures, go check my album! Leave a Comment

 View across Swiftcurrent lake. by dabidc The activity includes several photos taken during a hike in the Many Glacier Valley part of Glacier national park. In conjunction with the main photo of the hotel. There are two choices, one is to hike around the south end of Swifcurrent lake, the one outside the hotel or you can take the morning boat across the lake, cross over a small col and continue across Josephine lake, then climb up to the path to the Glaciers.
