George the Sleeping Giant

When you visit or drive through Helena Montana, the mountain range to the north is called the Sleeping Giant.

The Sleeping Giant, is located north of Helena, MT and can be seen from the south hill. It is called The Sleeping Giant because it looks like a giant man lying down sleeping. It is easily viewed from the south end of town, especially if you are on the south end of the hill, like Montana Ave. This main road through Helena, MT is a perfect view to get a glimpse of this spectacular site. To get a close up view, you simply drive a few miles north on Highway 15, heading toward Great Falls, MT. 

The Sleeping Giant is one of our favorite things about Helena. For some reason, the kids started calling him George the first week we got here. And the name stuck! So now every time we drive into town, we look for George, the Sleeping Giant. It's kindof a fun family tradition! We even got to drive up pretty close to him when we visited the Gates of the Mountains. We love George!
