Dillon is a small, western town surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Dillon has eclectic shops, art galleries, spas/salons, hiking trails, restaurants, and saloons. Dillon is situated in a sweeping valley into which the Big Hole and Beaverhead rivers converge. Beaverhead River is a blue-ribbon trout stream that's a favorite for expert fly fishermen. Big Hole River is also a blue-ribbon trout stream with breath-taking views through the Wise River Canyon.
The Beaverhead County Museum in Dillon is devoted to preserving our local history. The country’s best preserved ghost town, Bannack State Park, located just southwest of Dillon. A nationally registered historic landmark, Bannack was Montana's First Territorial Capital and the site of Montana's first major gold discovery on July 28, 1862. Over 50 buildings line the Main Street recalling Montana's formative years. Beaverhead County also has another type of Ghost Town, Coolidge. An abandoned silver mine from the early 1900's, Coolidge is located off the Pioneer Mountain Scenic Byway in the Beaverhead-Deer Lodge National Forest. Use Dillon as your basecamp, while you explore!
