Region & ClimateOnly a 15 minute drive a way is Highwood an unincorporated town with only around 200 people. The bar/cafe in town is famous around the area for its Friday night steak dinners. The community took its name from the nearby Highwood Creek that is a tributary of the Missouri River and Big Sag creek. The valley was popularized in the 1962 movie ” Shoot Out at Big Sag” starring Walter Brennan. The Highwood Creek Retreat is only a 40 minutes drive to Great Falls where you will find exceptional shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The Great Falls International Airport makes it easy for you and your guest to fly in for long periods of stay or for just the quick weekend trips. It’s a great midway spot between Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park–not to mention all the world -class fly fishing rivers and streams, state parks, wilderness areas, and campgrounds in between.
