Prescott Things To Do

Are you looking for an adventure? Big or small, intense or laid back, Belgrade MT is the place for you. Located in Gallatin County and set among spectacular mountain ranges, this small town with a big heart has plenty to satisfy the outdoor enthusiast. Experience all that the majestic peaks have to offer while participating in thrilling activities or take the afternoon to stroll the town and enjoy the delightful niche retailers. 

Feed the Alpacas

The perfect afternoon adventure, the Sentinel Ranch Alpacas is an alpaca ranch that lets visitors dive right into the alpaca experience. These llama-like animals are smaller than their closely related cousins and exhibit a calm, easy-going temperament. Their wool is harvested for woven items which can be purchased at the ranch as scarves, hats, and mittens.  Families will love to feed these adorable animals, take pictures with them and get a general idea of life on a ranch amidst the breathtaking Gallatin Mountains. It stands as one of the best Prescott things to do for families, friends, or couples.

Soak in the Sun at Lewis & Clark Park

Just one of the many picturesque parks in Belgrade, the Lewis and Clark Park features a skate park for the teens and a water park for the younger ones. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you could have a go at them as well! There is a large picnic area and plenty of grass and trees for Frisbee tossing, running, playing tag, and enjoying the sun and nature.

Take a Helicopter Tour

The mountains are gorgeous enough when you view them from the ground; imagine their majesty when you take them in from a helicopter. Rocky Mountain Rotors offers flight tours to visitors for photo taking or simply experiencing the moment. With a reputation for not only quality but safety, too, a helicopter ride among the mountains is one of the most authentic and spectacular ways to see Mother Nature’s finery.

Try Something New at Chalet Market 

It’s one thing to see the wildlife; it’s another to sample treats that are popular in the area. Chalet Market has a wide selection of gourmet meats including Buffalo Jerky, Elk Snack Stix with Beef Added, Buffalo Huckleberry Snack Stix, and a plethora of other products including Montana-proud huckleberry syrup, cheesecake bites, and lip balms.

Get Your Fish On!

Is there anything more relaxing than a day on the water? The professional guides at Montana Trout Wranglers offer an enjoyable and memorable fishing and boating experience for individuals or the entire family. It’s all-inclusive so you won’t have to worry about bringing a thing (except your fishing license, of course!). They proudly guide through the Madison River, Missouri River, Gallatin River, Yellowstone River, and others. Have your hand at fly fishing while enjoying a serene day on the waterway.

Hike one of the Gorgeous Trails

Set among the mountains, Belgrade is blessed with many easy to difficult hiking trails for both the beginner and the experienced hiker. If you’re looking for a leisurely walk, try the Middle Cottonwood Creek Trail or the Triple Tree Summit Trail Loop. If you’re feeling a bit more energetic, go for Upper Beehive Loop Rd or the Hyalite Lake via National Forest Development Road Trail. For those who want to sweat it out, difficult trails include the Sacagawea Peak via Ridge Trail and the Sourdough Canyon Road Loop.

Attack the Slopes

The Bridger Bowl Ski Area is achingly close to Belgrade and offers skiers 2,000 acres of terrain, 2,500 vertical feet, 8 chair lifts, and 3 lodges. While this attraction is, of course, seasonal, the Belgrade area is a great reminder that winter can be fun and exciting. Bridger Bowl offers ski and snowboard rentals, all types of snow sports lessons, and stunning views.

Explore Caverns

If you’ve got a couple of hours to spend and an affinity for discovering what’s happening underground, it’s time to visit the Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park. These extensive limestone caverns are all decked out with columns, helictites, stalagmites, and stalactites that have the look and feel of having formed magically over time. The incredible geological formations are a fascination for young and old, and a friendly guide is there to answer all of your questions. The State Park also offers campgrounds, rental cabins, and a number of hiking trails that are second to none. 

Whether you are visiting Belgrade or planning to move there, you’ll soon discover that the town is filled with fun and exciting adventures for just about everyone.
