Long the county seat of Granite County, Philipsburg has a rich history
in mining and ranching. The roots of the area started as a booming
mining town in the late 1800's. It's historic downtown is full of
beautifully restored buildings from that era. Today these buildings are
full of friendly shops, saloons, and other enjoyable establishments.
Situated 30 miles south of I-90 on the famous Pintler Scenic Loop, also
known as Montana Highway 1, the picturesque town is halfway between
Yellowstone and Glacier Parks, and only about an hour from the Missoula
(78 miles) and Butte (52 miles) airports. Per the location, the area
offers many outdoor attractions - all year long.
Philipsburg is the perfect headquarters in the Rocky Mountains for
recreation any time of year. For winter sports, we are minutes away

Creek as it takes you by snow capped mountains, sage covered hills,
pristine lakes, and open meadows. Philipsburg, voted one of the
