Butte: The Richest Hill on Earth
There’s no place like Butte in Montana. Frankly, there are few places in the entire country that can compare to the scenic beauty, rich history, and community pride that Butte possesses. Known as the “Richest Hill on Earth,” Butte’s wealth is not from the ore veins mined out a generation before but from the hard-earned character and limitless generosity of its people. You’d be hard-pressed to find a friendlier and more helpful populous than the good folks of Butte.
Butte is the heart of Montana. Located in the Summit Valley, Butte is cradled by the majestic peaks of the Rockies along the Continental Divide. It conveniently sits at the intersection of Interstate 15 and Interstate 90, making it the perfect hub to take you anywhere in the Treasure State. Butte is just a few minutes' drive – in any direction – to premium blue-ribbon fishing rivers and streams. Some of the finest ski slopes are less than an hour away. There are also plenty of outdoor activities within the city itself. There are abundant trails for hiking in the summer and cross-country skiing in winter. The local mountain range known as the East Ridge is home to some of the best mountain biking in the world, where the prestigious Butte 100 Mountain Bike Race is held annually.
Butte’s historic Uptown is famed for its grand architecture, which connects the town to its storied past. The Uptown is so uniquely picturesque that it has captured the creative eyes of photographers and those in the film industry.
