Fort Benton is a sleepy, small Montana town/tourist destination, on the banks of the Missouri River. Lewis and Clark came through here, and the town is known as "The Birthplace of the West." Three outfitters work out of Fort Benton, taking guests on multi-day river trips. Time slows down here...people are relaxed and on trips of a lifetime!
