About Twin Bridges, Montana

Twin Bridges is a sleepy western town with a population of just over 400, at an altitude of 4,627 feet. The Big Hole, Ruby and the Beaverhead rivers join together just north of town to form the Jefferson river. It was the Jefferson and Beaverhead rivers which provided the water route by which the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-05 travelled through this part of Montana in its quest to explore the Northwest and
reach the Pacific Ocean.

 


The area around Twin Bridges is rich in history and western lore. The town sits along Montana Highway 41, 50 miles south of Butte and 26 miles north of Dillon.
