pictures of Virginia City Montana

Virginia City Montana is one of the gold rush cities. Its a place for any old west history buff. these are pictures I took on one of my trips there in August of 2009.

All of Montana has the deepest pride and affection for Virginia City. No more colorful pioneer mining camp ever existed. Dramatic tales of the early days in this vicinity are legion. Rich placer diggings were discovered in Alder Gulch in the spring of 1863 and the stampede of gold seekers and their parasites was on! Sluices soon lined the gulch and various cities blossomed forth as trading and amusement centers for free handed miners. Virginia City, the best known of these and the sole survivor, became the Capitol of the Territory.

The very much alive ghost town, Virginia City, Montana, is frozen in time. It is a remarkably well preserved old west Victorian gold mining town just 20 miles west of Yellowstone National Park (90 miles by road). When the gold ran out, there was still enough left so that homes and businesses were occupied, but there was not enough wealth to remodel the buildings. So it froze, and now represents the whole Victorian era. It is the true and original Old West. It is a gem, held within an incredibly rich area of natural beauty, recreation and history.

Prince of Wales Hotel, Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada

The Prince of Wales Hotel is located in Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, overlooking Upper Waterton Lake, near the Canada-United States border. The Prince of Wales Hotel offers an experience like no other. Views from the hotel lobby and lawn are magnificent panoramas of Waterton Lake and the surrounding mountains in Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada. Located just north of Glacier National Park. It is only open 3-4 months each year. Constructed between 1926 and 1927, the hotel was built by the American Great Northern Railway to lure American tourists north of the border during the prohibition era. The hotel was named after the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), in a transparent attempt to entice him to stay in the hotel on his 1927 Canadian tour, but the Prince stayed at a nearby ranch instead.

The Prince of Wales Hotel enjoys the distinction of being the sole establishment among Canada's grand railway hotels to have been built by an American, as opposed to a Canadian, railway company. Any reviews for this hotel range from excellent to poor because it takes a special kind of traveler to appreciate this historical hotel.

If you want a totally modern hotel, do not stay here. The experience staying here is equivalent to the luxury suites found about 100 years ago. The conveniences and inconveniences are nearly the same. One should be willing to tolerate a few inconveniences to enjoy an authentic historical experience. Badly needs to be remodeled and updated. NO Air conditioning. No TV. Heater is a Baseboard heater. The carpet in our room was badly stained. Need new wood floors. Paper thin walls. Can hear all conversations in adjoining rooms. The hotel restaurant serves good food and offers a great view of the lake. Parking was free. The staff was friendly and helpful.
