About Monarch, Montana

Monarch, Montana is on US Highway 89 on the King's Hill Scenic Byway. A few miles north of Neihart, on the edge of Lewis and Clark National Forest land, Monarch is perfectly situated to take advantage of some of the premier recreational opportunities in Central Montana. To the south the Little Belt Mountains stand like an island between the Smith River Valley and the Judith River Basin. In the Little Belts visitors can hike, camp and mountain bike in the summer, hunt in the fall, downhill ski at Showdown Ski Area or cross country ski and snowmobile in the Silver Crest Trails Recreation area in the Winter. To the west, Sluice Boxes State Park contains eight miles of canyons and cliffs along Belt Creek.
