For 250 years, America's story has unfolded in places where history and untamed landscape meet. In Paradise Valley, that story is still being written.
With a legacy more than a century in the making and a place on the National Register of Historic Places, Chico stands as a living piece of the American experience. President Theodore Roosevelt once stayed here before dedicating Yellowstone National Park's Roosevelt Arch, drawn - as so many have been - by the spirit of the frontier and the promise of renewal.
Through every chapter - hospital, health spa, church camp, guest ranch, bed and breakfast - the heart of Chico has remained the same: the healing waters of its natural hot springs. Beneath the vast Montana sky and framed by the majestic Absaroka Mountains, soaking, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, and wide-open adventure continue to call travelers back generation after generation.
As America marks 250 years of independence, celebrate where history endures, nature inspires, and the American spirit runs wild.
