Columbus, Montana

Columbus began as a stage station on the Yellowstone Trail and is now a shipping center for the rich farm and ranch lands around it. Prosperity came when the Columbus quarry was chosen to furnish the stone for the state capitol in Helena. This project and other contracts for fine stone kept the quarries and the railroad busy for years.

This full-service community in the foothills of the Beartooths boasts the ‘most scenic route to Yellowstone Park’ via Montana Highway 78 and U.S. Highway 212 over the Beartooth Pass. Located at the confluence of the Stillwater and Yellowstone rivers, Columbus offers plenty of outdoor recreation. Visit the Museum of the Beartooths for an understanding of area history, including artifacts of the Rosebud River Crow Indians, Northern Pacific Railroad memorabilia and World War II history.

Mountain Range RV Park: Mountain Range RV park is an easy ‘on and off’ of Interstate 90 at exit 408. Our park is located just north of the interstate. We are within walking distance of town but far enough away to have a country atmosphere. The park is quiet and has a breathtaking view of the mountains. We are family owned and operated to assure you of a friendly and helpful stay. New, clean and refreshing to that tired traveler. We have pull-thrus to accommodate the big rigs, laundry facilities, showers, dump station and propane.

We are a good park for spending time and making day trips to Custerbattle field, Pompey`s Pillar, and into Yellowstone Park.
