Butte KOA Journey

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 Anaconda's Old Works Golf Course. Fish in streams running near your campsite or stroll a trail. Then treat yourself: The Chicken Shack serves such appetizing fare that locals often drop in for a bite. Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 80 feet. Your hosts: the Tice family.
