Why Helena?
Experience. Discover. Live!
Summer is fast approaching and even though the Rocky Mountains are a bit evasive with the occasional spitting snow, it is Spring in Helena. Last week when I hiked the south hills of Helena, I encountered four different wild flowers. I’m not a big wild flower person. I only know the names of about ten different flowers and I only know them because my kids have asked me. A couple of days later, I took my boys up on the same trail and we were able to find six different types of flowers together. Well, six if dandelions count and five if they don’t. We brought the wild flower book up on the trail with us and we were able to learn some new names and we got to experience some beautiful spring colors together.
There’s always something new to discover, isn’t there? It really seems endless. As I’ve traveled around the northwest doing travel shows this winter, not only have I been able to discover the places that I was at - I was also able to get a glimpse of all these travel booths at the shows and I’ve realized that I have a whole lot more to discover out there. At these travel shows, some people come up to me and they ask: “Why Helena?” Fair enough question when I’m across the aisle from Aruba - where the answer to the question is obvious with white beaches and crystal blue water. The “why come to Helena” goes hand in hand with the words discover, experience and live. When you come to Helena, you’ll be able to have an experience and you’ll be able to discover something and this combination will make a lasting impression because you’ll be able to live in a new way.
The weekends of May 21-23 and June 11-13 are both showcase weekends in Helena and offer chances for you to discover something new about yourself. Something that is yet untapped and something once discovered you’ll always remember is waiting for you here in Helena. Classes during these weekend range from mountain biking to gourd carving. There really is an amazing array of opportunities - all listed and explained on our web site.
There’s also a Triathlon 101 class one June 4 & 5. I mention this because it’s not on a showcase weekend, but it would definitely be a new learning experience. I never thought I was the Triathlon 101 kind of girl, but last night I had a dream that I was doing a triathlon … so maybe my subconscious was telling me that it was time to have new experience and discover something new about myself. I hope that you’re able to take the time a check out the web site or at least I hope that you’re able to pull out the wild flower book and discover the big amazing world that awaits you in Helena, Montana - Learn to Live!For lodging information and additional travel information visit: www.gohelena.com.
