On our last day in Montana, we headed over to Bannack State Park. Bannack is an old mining town that's now a ghost town that has been turned into a state park. At one point, Bannack was home to more than 3000 people. The gold found around the area proved to be extremely high quality and it is estimated that there were more than 580 thousand ounces produced from the first discovery of gold in 1862, until 1930. If you are ever in the area, it is well worth taking the time to check this place out.
