Hi DUers from Montana. I will be in Helena in early August, [View all]

attending a reunion of my late father's WWII army unit. I have been to 3 other reunions there and the times I've enjoyed the most were touring the area: Gates of the Mountains, Elkhorn, a lovely day in Missoula with a drive up to Seeley Lake. We will have an extra day this year and I'm looking for suggestions for things to do/places to go within a 2 hr. drive. If any DUers live in Helena, I'd be happy for a meet-up!
