The diesel bus trip up the mountain on a 7-mile dirt road that is very narrow, curvey and bumpy was not fun for me. I tried to look only at hubby & phone and not down the steep hillsides. However, Mark is an excellent driver! Dress warm as you reach @8500 feet elevation. Despite poor weather, the 90-foot statute is worth the view inside the base & out. Wonderful community effort and preserved history:)
I just tried to visited this attraction and found out the hard way the GPS is completely wrong. You cant view this by your self and there are not signs saying other wise. You have to go to the main office in town and get on theretour schedule to visit this attraction, right now only 2 days available during the week.
This Butte statue is located high in the mountains,facing,Berkley pit and looking at Butte, the tour is only operated during summer time .Unique experience,road is rough and can only be accessed through the tours bus.
It is really cool to see on top of the mountain and the story is really cool behind it but the price to shuttle up there was not worth it. Seeing for free at the bottom was good enough
Google led us to the road which would take you to the statue, only to find no trespassing signs and a Google is wrong, turn around sign. No other explanations. Then we find out that you have to book a tour to see the statue, which I can only imagine is something you have to pay for. Ive never encountered a shrine you had to pay to see, or is so limited in their hours of operation, and intentionally misleads you with their signage and warnings.
This cost money dont waste your time. Its a tour only you can not drive there yourself.
Love this place it has a mark it will leave on our family for ever rip daddy and Andy Cindy its a must see park of montana you will never for get
Sounds like it would be interesting but the website hasnt been updated in a year and the phone number goes to a sex chat line, so who knows how to actually get up there.
Google is wrong. Lady of the Rockies is not accesible via public road.
This is my private property they are sending you to cross. There is a locked gate on the road. People are expecting to drive to it racing up our road dangerously because Google refuses to fix this. IT CANNOT BE ACCESSED by private citizens. Google should be sending you to the location in Butte where this can happen.
We did not realize that we needed to go at certain times to see this and go to the gift shop to take a bus up there. I wish they put up signs explaining this because we went around searching for a way to get up there after seeing a post about it on Montana tourism website. They just put a sign saying google is wrong turn around, instead put a post saying go to the gift shop or timings for the tour. On the other side saying no statue access.
Great experience! Good guide and bus driver.
Heads up the only way to get there in winter in by snow mobile. The road is unplowed and there was a good two feet on the road in February. Would recommend for summer!
Google maps is wrong. You cannot drive to it, it is a closed, private road.
The lady is an amazing monument displaying the incredible faith of bob obill and leroy lee. The women in the gift shop are so gracious and kind and the tour guides are fantastic! Its $16 for adults and definitely worth the price. Ronda is a tour guide and when you go inside the lady to see the memorial there, she sings and it will bring you to tears. The womens monument is beautiful and the whole thing is just so special i loved it.
Classic religion.You can’t see our stuff unless you cough up that $$$
Nice view of Butte, the ride is rough and an hour up and an hour down. Youre given 30 minutes, which isnt enough to get photos and really take everything in. Especially if you have small children. This would be great for a picnic for the afternoon, given you ever had time.
You cannot drive here yourself. Google maps has the roads, but they are private. To see the monument, you have to go to the Butte Plaza Mall and join a tour. It is worth it. The drive is fun and the views are amazing.
Lady of the Rockies was beautiful. Road to monument was rough but well worth the trip.
Havent taken the tour bus yet but hope to soon.
Cool place. Had fun. Pretty cold, even in the summer. Bring a jacket
The ride up is a bit bumpy and rough but very worth it. Beautiful views.
Beautiful but the ride up was bumpy. Once your up though the view is breathtaking
A powerful testament of faith and hope for the people of Butte, Montana and the United States. Our Lady of the Rockies pray for us!
Awesome views from beside Mary and the observation chapel behind her.
Bus driver was fun and knowledgeable thanks John MARCus Snow
Its been on my bucket list for 20+ years. It did not disappoint. Joe, our driver was great. I would love to go back.
Get to see her every night when Im off of work out my family room window.
History of the statue is interesting. Make sure you go inside. I think its a little pricey. $18/16 adult. The bus that takes you there is rickety. They should just buy a used or new one. If youre where you can see the mountain @ nite, go outside & see her lit up.
Nice tour, EXCEPT, they dont tell you until after you board the bus and have a non-refundable ticket that the road up to the Lady is VERY rough. It is not suitable for people with back and neck issues. The ride was terrible.
Amazing!
Beautiful and the view is amazing
A wonderful tribute to our Blessed Mother and the people of Butte, MT. Well worth the time to take this tour.
Absolutely breathtakingan in awe of her presence.a, grateful, THANKX, to all who made this, inspiring, tribute possible
Great story and tour, amazing views
I havnt yet.but done alot of research.in 4 mnths we are going,and cant wait!!!!
THE Blessed Mother is BEAUTIFUL. It was a very enjoyable 2 hours
Waste of time and moneyIt is wonderful and inspiring from a distanceDont ruin it for yourself seeing it up close
Just disappointed that your only give 30 minutes to explore not a lot of time when you are with people with disabilities. Other then that awesome worth seeing.
I remember riding on the bus up the mountain to go see her when I was only 10 years old, back in 1993. Visited Butte back in December 2015, after 30 years on the mountain overlooking the town, shes looking as beautiful as ever!!
Phenomenal day with family and our bus driver Joe. Thank you
The ride up to see this monument is worth your time.
Amazing siteIts tour
Interesting but the long bumpy bus ride was a detractor. There were several young kids on our bus and it was too much for them. Im glad i went--once.
It was raining and only six of us were in the group. It was inspirational and fun!
A testament to Montana grit and determination driven by faith, hope and love
I didnt like the way it illuminated the night in such an erie light.. the emotional stress it put my dog Keith and I in was very extreme!... please remove it for the sight of my family I havent had a good nights sleep since that night..Ps.. Im kinding but s sill did like it lol
Great story and friendly staff. Pretty expensive though almost $50 for 2 adults and 1 child
Beautiful place had a great tour guide
Cool place to visit. Great views of the town.
Definitely a bucket list event to do.
Great tour our driver was very informative breath taking views at the top of the mountain
Absolutely stunningly beautiful and very emotional!!
Absolutely beautiful.
My husband I along with a friend went through there a couple of times. We saw the statue and she was beautiful. We also saw it with the lights on and it is a most welcoming site. I would lke to know if you can order the small statue as a suvener of the Blessd Mother. I just finished the book and it was the best book I have ever read. I couldnt put it down. I cried along with the men at the end.It was very enotional.
Really fun hike up there and such a cool statue
Great staff and friendly service.
We saw her glowing in the dark of night, BEAUTIFUL!!!
On private land and have to pay for tour to see...strange
