Dillon Travel Information
Dillon is Montana's southwestern border town, located along the I-15
corridor, and there are a vast array of important historical sites and
recreational opportunity within a short drive of this town.
Dillon is
a definitive mix of old and new philosophies, serving as both the
center for the well established ranch and farm community for the area
and also as home to Western State University, the third largest in the
Montana university system which keeps Dillon stocked with a good
number of young and active residents. The local businesses
of Dillon reflect this juxtaposition well, and visitors will find
kitschy bread shops and outdoor stores nestled between wild west style
saloons and ranch and tack shops.
Dillon is best known for
the amazing amount of blue ribbon trout streams that surround it, but
visitors will discover that the area is also brimming with Native
American and Frontier history, (it located along the Lewis & Clark
Corps of Discovery trail and the Nez Perce Nee Me Po trail) and is in
the heart of an area that was a highly lucrative gold mining deposits
in the late 1800's.
