Are you missing your favorite Montana attractions and natural wonders? While the only spring break most of us will be taking is to our own backyards, we can still see some of Montana’s most prominent places through virtual tours. Thanks to a media production company called InsideMT, you can tour museums, parks, and even caverns without leaving the comfort of your couch. These are just a few of the incredibly realistic tours available.
- Lewis and Clark Caverns (Whitehall)

- Bannack State Park

- Gallatin History Museum (Bozeman)

ClintPage / TripAdvisor This museum delves into our regional history. And while it often takes a backseat to the nearby Museum of the Rockies, it has a lot to offer. Get an up-close-and-personal glance at the artifacts and exhibits at InsideMT.com.
- First Peoples Buffalo Jump (Ulm)

938fjg / TripAdvisor First Peoples Buffalo Jump is a place many Montanans never see in person. And while it’s definitely worth making the drive to walk in the footsteps of the First Peoples and thousands of buffalo, this virtual tour is definitely the next best thing.
- Cathedral of Saint Helena (Helena)

Scott Wagner / Flickr It’s impossible not to feel a little breathless when you step inside this enchanting cathedral for the first time… or the fifth time, for that matter. If you’ve been missing seeing it in person, take a virtual tour in the meantime. You can do everything but sit in a pew.
