AREA HISTORY
Just minutes from Hauser Lake View Retreat lies Helena, Montana’s capital and a city rooted in gold rush history. Founded in 1864 after prospectors struck gold in Last Chance Gulch, Helena rapidly grew into a thriving economic center. By the late 1800s, it claimed more millionaires per capita than any other city worldwide. The wealth from that era remains evident in Helena’s impressive historic architecture, including the Montana State Capitol with its copper dome, the Gothic-style Cathedral of Saint Helena, and the Civic Center. These enduring landmarks reflect a period of prosperity that helped shape the city’s identity in Montana’s early development.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES
The Gates of the Mountains is a striking natural landmark located on the Missouri River near Helena, Montana, and it holds a special place in American history due to its association with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Discovered by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark during their historic journey in July 1805, this dramatic gorge features towering limestone cliffs that rise abruptly from the river, creating a breathtaking passage that they described as resembling “gates.” The area, which was later named the Gates of the Mountains, provided a significant navigational reference and a moment of awe for the explorers as they traversed the rugged terrain. Today, the Gates of the Mountains remains a popular attraction, offering visitors scenic boat tours and hiking opportunities to experience the stunning geological formations and rich history that captivated the famous expedition team.
