Top places to visit

1. 5.0 Nelson Offroad Tours (5 reviews)
   - Best Way to Get Back Up Into the Hills Where the Gold Really Was
   4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours
   
   
   In a tourist destination, where everything is about history, we learned the most about Virginia City and the gold rush on this tour. The guide/driver was awesome; turns out he is a teacher in real life. You will also get some great views of Montana nature, that can't be beat; unless you are up to doing your own mountain hiking. Unfortunately parts of the route he takes are not holding up well (differently can't be called a road). So it's not clear how long he will be still able to offer the 90 minute tour. If you are hoping to learn something, during your visit to Virginia City, this is the place to go. See more..

3. 5.0 Riverhill Farm (1 review)
   - Organic Fruit and Vegetable Farm
   Spent 1-2 hours Speciality & Gift Shops • Farms
   This wonderful “pick your own” farm appealed greatly to us: Our gardening attempts at our home in Baja have failed, our flowers and tomato plants mowed down by ratas! Here we picked gorgeous giant thorn-free blackberries, and some raspberries as well. There are many other crops available for harvest, depending on what is ripe, when. Riverhill Farm is open to the public on Wednesday afternoons during the growing season. See more..
