I love a good road trip. And if you’ve ever road-tripped across Montana — and we certainly hope you have — you already know that the Treasure State is full of hidden gems you can only experience through a road trip. From our unique pit stops like the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar to our quirky roadside attractions, there’s nothing like a statewide road trip to remind you that it’s all about the journey, not the destination. If your travels happen to take you down I-90 near the Idaho border, make sure to stop at the St. Regis Travel Center … but only if you feel like checking out some live trout while sipping on the best milkshake of your life. (By the way, we are sure that delicious milkshake will have you asking, “When are huckleberries in season?” in no time!). The St. Regis gas station is so much more than just a gas station. Let’s dig in!
