A past montana native watching from Anchorage Alaska and I remember being able to visit these towns before fees and trespassing problems. I loved seeing the big blue sky and beautiful mountains as I really miss the solitude of it all. Thank you..😊😊😊
I'm home out on Long Island where I did enjoy this video. One of the things I like is that I could hear the gravel crunch or the wind blow because there wasn't any music. Good camera work
Hope you read this , I live just about 4 hours east of Bannack for the last 34 plus years now I go to Bannack about 3 times a year . Love that town. The park Ranger is cool his name is John . something about that town calls me back often . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA for a awesome video......
Hey Chris, friend of mine had his great grandpa get himself hanged in Bannack. It was indeed Henry Plummer, the infamous sheriff. He & I both live in Utah btw. He's in the southern part, I'm just south of Salty. Henry was a young man with a wife & family but had a complicated past. He'd had troubles in the mining district of California if I recall correctly (also as a lawman). My own great grandpa was a blacksmith most of his life, but was asked to serve as sheriff for a very short while when he was living in Dodge City Kansas in the 1870's and '80's. Don't know why he didn't stick with it long, but I suspect great Grandma Julia may have had something to do with it! Loved your video and enjoyed the quiet of it all. We see these old places through rose colored glasses. But they were tough, hard places to live & make a living. Worked in too many oil fields to think otherwise. Be safe, God bless and take good care. 😊
As I’ve mentioned, Chris, I’ve lived in Helena for 66 years. So glad to have found this video with Elkhorn. Brings back memories of visiting Elkhorn as a child when my parents would bring visitors to see a real “ghost town”. The other thing I’m loving about your videos is the facts you share are familiar from my high school years and the Vigilante Parade that has been a tradition in Helena forever. High schoolers make floats of historic places and events in Montana. Thank you for all your work to preserve and share the history of Montana! ❤
I'm enjoying your videos, the Ghost Towns of N.D. and Montana are interesting. Your commentary is easy to listen to. The "air bnb" line was funny! I live in Bullhead City, AZ, BTW. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to more videos. 👍👋
Thank you so much for presenting me these videos of ghost towns of Montana. I am watching these from Vahto Finland. My late brother Tapio went to highschool in Helena his senior year, probably between 1971-1972 as a foreign exchange student. He stayed with his host family Lilan and Eskil Seastrom. He told me a lot of stories of people and friends. He had great time there. He also visited some ghost towns. Unfortunately I cannot remember which. I miss him so much and the videos you make enable me to relive the feelings I had when we spoke about his year in the US. I often think it would be great to contact some of his friends there and be able to speak to some his friends, mayby hear stories of him. Anyhow I much appreciate your tranquil and serene videos and beautiful landscapes of an era long bygone.
Watching from Missoula, Montana. Bravo, on a great video showcasing some of our historical places. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 One critique, it's pronounced Gran-nit, like the rock. Other than that one minor error, you had a lot of great info about our ghost towns. I'm looking forward to watching some more of your videos. 😁
Native Montanan and live in Townsend, about 30 miles southeast of Helena. I've been to all the ghost towns except Garnet. Love to visit these towns as both my grandfathers were brought to Montana by the mines. My paternal grandfather lived in a small ghost town to the west of Townsend called Hassel, about 10 miles up Indian Creek. All that's really left there is the old hotel. Great video.
I really enjoy seeing old western ghost towns like this here and they are all a part of history thank you for showing these incredible looking towns have a great week Thank You.🏘🏘
I LOVED seeing these Montana ghost towns - so much fascinating history of the Old West! Ghost towns just have a certain intriguing vibe that is irresistible to so many of us. I'm watching from Ohio down in the states, and I really enjoy your exploration videos, Chris. Thank you for sharing!
I am watching from stoke on Trent England I love watching these videos if the old towns if only them walls could speak they would have some great tails to tell. God bless America
I enjoyed your video about ghost towns in Montana. I live in New Mexico, and I'm a subscriber to your channel. I especially like your videos because you provide a lot of information about the places you visit.
From Ohio.Enjoy the videos and your enthusiasm for Montana ghost towns. Lot of valuable info to help plan a visit. Have driven all over Montana, its so beautiful but somehow missed these gems. Maybe next trip.
Excellent as always. Recently went out west on a 12 day tour from Port Huron MI. with the wife. Over 6K in miles. Didn't have time to see what you bring to the table. That's why I come to you for the out of the way side trips. The time dedication has to be there. Nice vehicle upgrade too. Can't wait to see the next Montana episode and so on. Thanks for sharing your specialized journeys.
Cabins are now called “tiny homes” and are all the rage among the trendy planet savers. What goes around, comes around. It’s quite comical for those of us who actually know some history to hear people gushing about the advantages of smaller, self-contained residences. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting.
Watching from Scotland. Oh how I would like to walk around those legnedary places with you. I feel I must have been a pioneer in a previous life! :-) You have a relax and peaceful way of narrating. Thank you!
Thanx for the tour! Due to circumstances beyond our control we were unable to make the trek out west. Was hoping to see a lot of these sites and now I have... Cheers!!!
Very enjoyable Montana ghost town tour, Chris. Thanks for posting it. 👍 If you continue journeying south, you'll be able to visit and video ghost towns in my home state, Wyoming. Hope you make plans to do so in the near future.
I was born and raised in Montana in a little town named Melstone, close to The Jersey Lilly. I NOW live in Saskatchewan. Enjoyed the walk through the past😊
Loved living in the West in the 1980's , hauled Oil Field supplies all over the area and into Canada as well down to the 4 - corners and beyond. Lovely country. I am in Western Washington , puget sound near Canada now.
Haven't lived in Montana since I was a kid, so now watching from Tehachapi CA, I miss Montana very much and all the cool ghost towns! I've been to all of these towns except for Comet, they are all so awesome and beautiful places.
Watching from London, just mesmerised by all the history, just to think of all whom are long gone but lived through the years good and bad! Thank you for your great work, Regards, Terry.
British person here. Year before last I did a road trip with the family and as I have a house in Nebraska and love the great plains and the mountain states because they are so different to the UK and Isle of Man where I live at the moment. I was desperate to see at least one ghost town whilst in the US so we visited Granite MT. Loved it. I've visited 98 countries and territories and in the US I'm up to 23 States. We flew into Idaho via Nebraska from the UK, through Yellowstone, up to Bozeman, then Glacier, crossed the border into Canada to Cranbrook, then back through the Idaho panhandle to Spokane, then down to Hall Mt (where the Ghost town was) across to Buffalo WY, then Devils Tower, Custer State Park SD, then past Carhenge NE down to Scottsbluff Ne and finally Boulder Co. Loved it all except Boulder.
Greetings from Prague, Czech Republic from a San Diego, CA native. Thank you for sharing your explorations with the rest of us! Your work is really enjoyable.
Great video, it helps me as I'm hoping to RV around the state's. Ghost towns and cemeteries are my favorites. I'm watching from the former great city of Portland, Oregon which has unfortunately fallen these past years
This is very interesting! Good video, well edited and narrated. The building interiors in Bannock are in beautiful condition. Watching from the Village of Ravalli (pop 76) MT, in Lake County, I am a new subscriber.
Big Montana fan here. I travel from Fox Island, Washington to Montana at least twice a year. Love the Eastern Front and the Bob Marshall Wilderness area. The Buckhorn saloon in Augusta Mt. is also a favorite place to have a meal and beer. Cheers!
Montana native here. Thank you for reminding viewers to not vandalize these sights by writing on walls and such. Nice work and great information. 🤩👍
Thanks for watching!
Same here! Watching from Missoula. :)
JUST GAREEX WATCHING FR. HONGKONG,STILL ALIVE...

Montana to Alaska?! You're lucky to have lived in the most gorgeous states we have to offer.
I Would Love To Go Back...And I Would Love ❤️ To Bring These Buildings Back
I'm home out on Long Island where I did enjoy this video. One of the things I like is that I could hear the gravel crunch or the wind blow because there wasn't any music. Good camera work
Wow thank you!!!!
Agreed, I don't understand why so many TH-cam creators add pointless music.
You're about as far as you can get from the wild west
Watching from SUN VALLEY CALIFORNIA

Yes!
