national monument montana
Moving from North Carolina to Montana, must sees?
Hey guys,
My husband and I are moving to Helena,MT from Charlotte,NC with a job transfer, we are gonna make that long trip by car and are looking for fun stuff to do along the way. We plan on making it about a 4 day trip so not much time but should be plenty to see a few sights.
So far we kinda got it mapped out to spend a night in St.Louis, MO, see the Gateway Arch and get some sleep.
Next day we are shooting for Rapid City,SD to see Mt.Rushmore & Crazy Horse Monuments. On into Montana the next day, maybe a swing by Little Big Horn Battlefield.
Who has some other ideas? We aren’t looking to do expensive things, just hoping to see some national monuments and get some nice pics to remember the trip.
Any Ideas are very welcome, by the way, we mapped out or trip using Google Earth, if you have that, you can see the route we are taking.
Thanks so much for any cool ideas.
Welcome to Montana!
The Little Bighorn is pretty interesting and its mostly self-guided although they may have a few demonstrations.
Something that you may want to check out that isn’t to far out of the way is the Lewis and Clark Caverns. It’ll only add about 15-20 miles onto the trip and is one of the most underrated attractions in the state.

I think it cost like $10 and takes maybe and hour and a half(?), so not sure if you can fit it into your schedule, but you should definitely keep it in mind for later!
