The journey down the one hundred
forty nine miles of the Upper Missouri National Wild &
Scenic River and into the Upper Missouri River Breaks
National Monument is a trip back into time. Pass by the
vistas Lewis & Clark described as "scenes of visionary
enchantment", sites of American Fur Company forts, and
landmarks whose names' recall the days of the western
frontier. Fort Benton is the ideal starting point for your
journey into the beauty and solitude of the Wild and Scenic
Upper Missouri River. The community offers fine lodging,
campgrounds, dining, and shops with the necessary supplies
for your adventure. A number of very qualified outfitters
and shuttle providers live in Fort Benton and base their
services out of Fort Benton or other nearby launching
points. |
