RV rental Helena, MT: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

If you don’t want to stray too far from the city, Mount Helena Park is conveniently located within Helena’s city limits. Visitors can hike up one of the six trails to the summit, depending on what you want to see along the way. The 1906 Trail will get you up and down again in as little as two hours or you can opt for a longer trail that’ll take you through scenic grassy woodlands and give you a variety of outlooks, such as the Prospector Shafts Trail. If you want to get a little farther out of town, take your Helena RV rental about an hour’s drive to the northeast to Helena National Forest. This is a perfect destination for those who enjoy long hikes as roughly 80 miles of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail is within the park’s boundaries. You can also spend some time on one of the lakeshores and soak up some sun. There are nearly one million acres of mountains, waterfalls, lakes, and forests to explore in this picturesque example of Montana wilderness. Roughly two hours northeast of Helena, and named after the some of the most famed explorers in American history, Lewis and Clark National Forest is a wonderful place to spend the day or even set up camp. At just under two million acres, this mountainous terrain is home to peaks from eight different mountain ranges, such as the stretching Rocky Mountains and the more local Elkhorn Mountains. This vast array gives avid hikers challenges while the less hiking-inclined can rent a boat and explore the lakes or rivers that snake through the mountains. Maybe you just can’t hike anymore, but you still want to explore the natural wonder of Montana. You can reserve a seat on one of the many boat tours that will take you through the intimidating, yet awe-inspiring Gates of the Mountains. This impressive geologic formation looks as though it’s been cut in two by the Missouri River and seeing it from the river offers some of the best scenic views of western Montana.
