I can't say that I visited this because, this along with dionisio everything else in Montana, was under construction. But, while detouring past it, confused and bewildered by Montana traffic logic, it struck me as awesome. See it, at least for a manic 2 seconds.
Beautiful, well designed infrastructure (museum, gift shop, pathways, stairs, lookout, and toilets), but crabby staff. Actually, it seems everyone in Montana is ill tempered. A great view into the only material proof (in the field) that Lewis and Clark were where they said. Graffiti!
This is a fascinating place lacking wow factor. The museum, staffed by Americorps volunteers, does a superior job showcasing the man, the people, the group, and the history. If you are excited by words and cool exhibits, this place is a must see. But, if you need help via Disney or Hollywood glitz to enjoy a historical landmark, this place is a half snooze. Outside of the museum, the lands are about as interesting as a city park. The landscape is not gorgeous, but simply beautiful. The.original house, dating back to 1886 is great. We spent hours here but we were pretty much the only ones.
We stayed here the first and last night of our stay in the area. Newly renovated, it's better certainly but it's like putting makeup on a crack addict. The location is depressing and the other tenants too. Good to use as a springboard to other accommodation.
