High above the city of Butte, Montana, perched on the Continental Divide, stands one of the most awe-inspiring landmarks in the American West, Our Lady of the Rockies. Towering 90 feet tall and built in 1979 as a promise fulfilled by a local man whose wife survived cancer, Our Lady of the Rockies stands as a powerful, nondenominational tribute to women and mothers everywhere. The journey to reach her is just as memorable as the monument itself.
The 2.5 to 3-hour tour begins with a shuttle ride through Butte’s historic landscape. Along the way, enjoy sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains and vast Montana plains, with the chance to spot local wildlife. Your guide will share stories about Butte’s rich mining history as you pass landmarks like the Berkeley Pit and the Copper King Mansion.
At the summit, you’ll have time to explore the statue site, take in the panoramic views, and reflect on the incredible effort that brought this monument to life. The tour includes round-trip transportation, a professional guide, and educational commentary throughout the journey.
Perfect for families, history lovers, and sightseers alike, the Our Lady of the Rockies Tour is a must-do, family-friendly tour and a top attraction in Butte, Montana.
