It's a bit of a drive, but it would be a fun day trip. A 15 mile hike or bike trail with 10 train tunnels and 7 sky-high trestles. Plan ahead and get tickets for the summer season.

We love to hike to the waterfall. It's not to strenuous, but there are some longer, more difficult hikes as well.

City advice

What to pack

Layers of clothing

Even in the summer, Montana can be chilly (especially in the evening). Be sure to bring a sweatshirt or light weight jacket.
Travelling with kids

No baby gates

We don’t provide gates for the stairs. Small children will need supervision. There is a door at the top of the stairs leading to the basement, but not to the loft area/upstairs bedrooms.
What to pack

In-door house shoes or slippers are recommended

Hardwood floors scratch easily, so outdoor shoes are not permitted inside. Please bring something that makes you comfortable walking around the hardwood, tile, and carpeted areas.
