...And for scenic adventure almost as spectacular as Glacier but easier to get to, we have a maintained ghost town (Bannack) and the Big Hole National Battlefield Monument (last stand of the Nez Perce iirc) and Crystal Park (where the quartz points are literally laying on the ground, or you can get ambitious and dig for bigger ones) close to each other just east of the Sapphires. And the Sapphire Mountains got their name because they really are where Montana sapphire (including the fabled Yogo) comes from.
