By Rita Hekrig Naylor
1. Recommend a hotel/motel in your town/city:
Depends on your budget — the Delta Hotel is great, the DoubleTree is downtown and even the Home2suites is good.
2. Recommend a restaurant in your town/city:
I recommend Benny's Bistro and if you want some local flavor I recommend the York Bar.
3. What's a must-see in your town/city?
Reeder's Alley, the Gates of the Mountain Boat tour, the Capitol Building and for a great tour around the town, the Tour Train.
4. What makes your town/city fun for tourists?
Helena is four hours from Glacier National Park and four hours from Yellowstone.
5. What should you avoid when visiting your town/city?
Not sure what there is to avoid — it's Montana. If you don't like the cold, don't visit. If you like to ski, there are plenty of ski areas.
