Nice safe mountain town. Little too quiet for me
Over 4 years ago

I spent 6 months living on a ranch in the Helena valley. This was during the population boom Montana experienced after covid. Helena has some great mountain biking  More

Bad job market
Over 10 years ago

Relocated to this town to be close to family. Pros to living in Lemhi County would obviously be outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, swimming, boating, hunting  More
