Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 41 reviews
Travelers' Rest State Park marks the crossroads of natural and cultural history. The 65-acre site includes the only archaeologically verified campsite of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, a traditional meeting place of Native American tribes including the Bitterroot Salish, and riparian habitat that is home to hundreds of species of birds and mammals.

The walking trails take you along the creek and back to where Lewis & Clark made camp twice during their quest to seek a route to the Pacific for trading. They have weekly ranger talks and cater to children on the weekends, giving them interactive projects to make while there. Highly recommend not only for the history behind the Park but for the scenery while walking the dusty trails. There is a visitor's center staffed with a State Forest Ranger who holds a wealth of knowledge of the area. There is a picnic area near the creek with tables. Bears frequent this area as well as deer and horn rimed owls. There is a fee for out of state residents, free to those living in MT

Oh my gosh, this is the best historic home. Our tour guide Ginny did the best job of educating us on the history of the home and the interesting lives of the Conrad family. This is a must do!

After we paid our tickets, we all entered and sat to see about this house. There were a lot of people. They divided the tourists in half. We were lucky, we had the best guide, as she knew everything so well. She also answered all our questions. This house was really a mansion. There were 50 bedrooms. Will that be enough for you? There were also 15 bath tubs. Would that be enough? Everything was so beautiful! The beds, the gardens outside, the kitchen. Anything was a splendor. They showed pictures from the past in black and white and I took a new color photos from now. We had fun and we were amazed how huge this hoys is! A must see! Enjoy the pictures

Great, knowledgeable and friendly staff, including Bear, the laidback dog, who can’t stop wagging his tail when you enter. Live webcams from various places in the Park. Great place to learn more of the history of the park, and see what other sites in the park look like, even when they are closed due to the weather. Great selection of high quality gifts and souvenirs of Glacier National Park and the Great Northern Railway. It is a wonderful stop during your travels.

When we stepped out of our car, we saw wooden homes and a wagon that was falling apart. These were built in 1870. It was used as a bunkhouse. The logs were fitting together. They call this the Saddleback construction. The Four Winds Indian Trading Post were selling books, artifacts, jewelry and more. They were very friendly. Worthwhile to see!

While this surly serves a great rest stop with beautiful views, the historical importance should not be overlooked. In addition to marking the Continental Divide and the Marias Pass' elevation of 5213' (1589 m), it pays homage to John E. Stevens the civil engineer for Great Northern Railroad. The railroad opened rail service to the west coast and there is a large statue of Stevens at the base of the obelisk. There are two other plaques, one for William Morrison who had squatter rights to 100 acres at the summit. The second is dedicated to President Theodore Roosevelt who created the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Across from the obelisk, on the opposite side of the parking lot, there are two large displays with maps and more history about the area and the local Native American tribes. Worth a few minutes if you have the time.
